Environmental pollution:
Large-scale deforestation for the production of disposable chopsticks has caused damage to the natural environment and ecosystem.
Disposable chopsticks are usually discarded after use, which increases the amount of garbage and processing costs, and burdens the environment.
Health risks:
In order to reduce costs, some small workshops use inferior bamboo or wood to make chopsticks, and may bleach them with chlorine or hydrogen peroxide, which contain harmful chemicals such as sulfur dioxide and talcum powder, which may cause harm to human health after long-term use.
Disposable chopsticks with poor production environment and substandard sanitary conditions may breed bacteria and increase the risk of disease.
Waste of resources:
Disposable chopsticks are discarded after use, resulting in a huge waste of resources.
