TRUTH !!
Kattobashi in Japan makes bats broken in Japanese baseball games into
chopsticks.
Bats that end up being broken by professional players are often turned into
kattobashi: "a mash-up of the Japanese word for chopsticks and a baseball
chant that translates as 'get a big hit,'" The New York Times explains.
That's right—sports mementos that would typically be sold for upwards of $50
in the U.S. are turned into reusable chopsticks in Japan.
Each season, roughly 10,000 wooden bats are transformed into those
ubiquitous eating utensils in an effort to cut down on waste and help
preserve a threatened species of ash tree called the aodamo.

In a similar vein, in Japan, a broken bowl or mug isn't necessarily destined
for the nearest trash bin. Through the art of kintsugi, the shards are glued
back together with a gold seal that calls attention to the cracks—the
general idea being that flaws make something even more beautiful
