Japanese women with environmental concerns close to their hearts may one day be able to wear a bra which can carry their own personal chopsticks to cut down on waste.

Women's lingerie maker Triumph Japan on Wednesday unveiled new bra with cups fashioned to look like a bowl of rice and a bowl of miso soup complete with side pouches to hold compact chopsticks.

The "My Hashi" or "My Chopsticks" bra was designed reduce the waste generated by people throwing away their disposable chopsticks.
