One disposable chopstick made of wood weighs about 5 grams. The energy content would be around 95 kJ. Regards to all Björn Dahlroth Sweden

Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I worked three summers at a plywood plant next to the largest chopstick factory in the world. This factory was in North America (Fort Nelson, BC). The chopstick factory was wasting 70% of the forestry resources. This enormous rate of waste allowed other lumber industries to compare themselves to it, and look good in the process, without having to deal with their own waste problems. Thankfully, the factory closed its doors in the late 90's.
