Plastic-free, gluten-free, biodegradable, 100% natural, these straw straws must be the most eco-friendly you can get.

Straw straws! Who knew?

100% simply just a… straw straw. Every day we use millions of plastic disposable straws around the globe. Why continue with that unsustainable behaviour when there are millions of straws growing in the nature every year? The perfect combination of a neutral taste, and a soft but strong structure, these eco-friendly straws from Straw by Straw are available for tumbler and long drink glasses.

Straw by Straw: The Most Eco Friendly Drinking Straws

There are many alternatives to plastic straws such as straws made from corn starch, potato starch, paper, but also polylactic acid (PLA). 

So why are Straw by Straw’s harvest straws more eco friendly than the other options? 

By using these straws as drinking straws, Straw by Straw turn agricultural waste into value. Every year cereals are harvested for food. As the stalks remain on land, often being burned or used for animal bedding, they can use them as drinking straws. This way they turn leftover waste into value whilst fighting plastics from the source. Win/win!

Straw straws last almost forever in every liquid. They don't get soggy and you won't get pieces of straw while you drink.

Whereas PLA and sugar cane straws need industrial installations to biodegrade, these straws just need nature. Simply because they're 100% natural.
