Cropsticks Bamboo Chopsticks With Built-in Rest
| ASKED FOR | GOT | SHARK |
| $75,000 for 12.5% | NO DEAL | NO SHARK |
Entrepreneurs: Mylen Fe Yamamoto
With Cropsticks, you now have a built-in rest that is authentic to the Asian dining experience. Cropsticks are made from fast-growing bamboo. Currently, 45% of one-time-use chopsticks are still made from trees. That’s increased carbon emissions and contributing to deforestation with around 36 billion chopsticks. Chop a tree down, it’s gone forever. For comparison, it grows almost right back, when chopping down bamboo.
The Cropsticks is another startup idea launched with a Kickstarter campaign in 2016, pledged over $21,000. A line of sustainable goods for Asian cuisine, Cropsticks is the first product from Cropmade.
