Product Information

Straws and other plastic products can end up in the ocean. This happens for several reasons, including littering by humans and overflowing landfills. A whopping 300 million tons of plastic are produced every single year, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). And at least 8 million tons of the stuff litters our precious oceans annually, ending up in the stomachs ( and noses) of wildlife and even making its way into the food we eat. Half of all plastic is designed to be used just once, per the IUCN, which includes shopping bags, cups, and yes, our beloved drinking straws. Why are plastic straws such a problem? When you drink straight from a cup, you have to tip it toward your face. This increases the risk of spills. Using a straw makes it easier to sip the drink without tilting it too far. The practice is especially helpful if your beverage has ice. Improves hygiene You can wash a reusable straw like any other utensil you have in your home with soap and water,” Drutham says. Some straws even come with specific instructions stating that they can be put in the dishwasher to be sterilized or boiled in hot water. Most straws should be cleaned or rinsed before first use.

Although straws might help reduce staining of your front teeth, it won’t prevent staining altogether. We will share the best-kept secrets supporting the success of drinking your coffee through a straw! With regards to safety, both metal and plastic straws can be quite dangerous when not used properly. Plastic straws are also known to cause cuts and other injuries to those who use them, so it doesn't really matter what material the straw is constructed from. As long as safety measures are not practiced, accidents involving these drinking tools may occur. ConclusionGlass: With none of the potential taste or chemicals from metal or plastic, glass is a dishwasher-safe material that also happens to look really good. By its very nature, glass is sensitive to temperature changes and pressure, meaning it can break when put through too much stress. The outer material of the straw is made of stainless steel, and the inner is made of platinum silicone. Fully extended, it measures 23 centimeters long (an appropriate length for most glasses, mason jars, and to-go mugs). Then, it can be re-folded to fit in its 7-centimeter case that weighs only 1.8 ounces. The straw folds up to fit inside the case, making it super portable and something you don't have to think about grabbing before you leave the house," Waddell goes on. "After using the straw, I'm able to store the straw confidently, knowing it won't get the rest of my bag wet. Then when I get home, I'm easily able to clean it with soap and water." If you opt for a straw that doesn't come with a similar carrying case, you could carry it in a reusable fabric or silicone bag. Just make sure to thoroughly wash both the straw and bag before using them again.

Drinking through a straw may be ideal when consuming a canned beverage. It’s more sanitary than directly putting your mouth on the can.Being #ecowarrior is a good thing. However, you should not put your life at risk just to make sure that you go zero on plastic straws. If you really can’t fathom the use of plastics, we suggest drinking directly from the bottle or glass while you’re on the move.
