Why us?
We already know how damaging plastic straws can be, but a common misconception surrounds another alternative- Paper straws.
These plastic alternatives are equally damaging. Whilst biodegradable, the impact of their production also contributes to significant environmental harm-
- Toxic chemicals used to refine the raw materials.
- 51% more global warming gases produced than plastic production.
- 50 times higher level of water pollution created from coatings, colouring and bleaches.
- 4 times more raw materials used to produce paper than plastic.
- 70% more air pollution produced than the production of plastic bags
Aside from the environmental impact, paper straws perform poorly. Our straws-
- Don’t become soggy after saturation.
- Don’t taint the flavour of your favourite beverage
- Are completely harmless to the environment
- Chemical and toxin free.
