WHY BAMBOO?

WASTE IS A DESIGN FLAW

Disposable utensils are polluting our oceans and land. 

These simple tools are all too often used once, and thrown away.

Plastic straws and utensils together makeup the second most common waste material found in the ocean. 

1 billion plastic, petroleum-based, non-biodegradable straws are used everyday worldwide. Our bamboo drinking straws are a fun and eco-friendly alternative to plastic that can be used with any beverage. The straws are made from real whole bamboo stalks – nothing re-compressed or processed. They are washable and reusable. Use a jar of warm water with soap to shake them clean, or clean with a pipe cleaner. A purchase of bamboo straws is a vote for sustainable materials. Each straw is 10 inches in length. The straws can last for years and years when properly cared for.

• Bamboo produces the largest amount of oxygen compared to other plants of it's size.
• Bamboo is considered one of the fastest growing plant on the planet, under the right conditions some grow 47 inches in 24 hours and can reach over 100 feet in height within 60 days.
• Bamboo can grow under difficult conditions, meaning there is never any need for pesticides or fertilizer.

• Bamboo is a viable replacement for wood. It can be harvest in 3-5 years versus 10-20 for most softwoods. It can out yield pine 6 to 1 in biomass production. It is also one of the strongest building materials with a tensile strength of 28,000 psi. To help give you an idea how much this is, mild steel measures 23,000 psi.
