This Factory in Georgia Makes Chopsticks For People in Asia
Categories: Really?!?!?

The South Korea-born entrepreneur founded Georgia Chopsticks, which makes four million sets of the disposable wooden utensils each week, exporting them to China and Japan. Apparently, the Asian countries don't have enough wood to produce their own chopsticks, and lumber-rich Georgia has plenty. The company uses recycled materials from local sawmills, along with wood from poplar and sweet gum trees.
Lee has hired 102 employees in less than a year, and plans to hire an additional 800 workers next year.
