STRAWGANIC ...declares war on plastic with its colorful glass- and steel-straws. Our straws are reusable and easy to clean. Every time you use a Strawganic straw, one plastic straw less is discarded. It is not only environmentally friendly but also a stylish accessory for your smoothie or cocktail. "Be the change you want to see in the world." (Mahatma Gandhi) A straw; a short, light accessory made of plastic. After a few sips it ends up in the trash alongside the cup or the bottle. No big deal! Really? Imagine every one of us 7 billion people on earth do the same today. Still no big deal? In the US alone, approximately 500 million straws are produced – and thrown away – daily. With an estimated weight of 0.3 gram per straw, this creates 150 million tons of plastic waste per day. Unfortunately, in most other countries, the situation does not look any better. And what is even worse: a major part of it ends up in our oceans: it kills sensitive eco systems and threatens the life of countless marine animals. It is hard to believe that such a small plastic item can create such a disastrous effect. Strawganic wants to turn this effect into a positive by using glass and metal instead of plastic. Only by changing the material a straw can be re-used as often as desired.
