Made by Australian company, theotherstraw, in Northern Vietnam. theotherstraw was founded in response to one of the world's biggest challenges: plastic pollution. They are a Melbourne-based sustainable enterprise which works with producers from ethnic minority groups in Northern Vietnam to make their products, ensuring their producers receive a prosperous and fair wage with healthy working conditions. They keep their carbon footprint small through resource recycling and energy conservation, and a portion of their profits goes towards supporting projects that protect the world's oceans and marine life. We love theotherstraw.
The straw is 10cm long and 7mm in diameter - great for cocktails, and for kids' juices, milkshakes, babycinos and more.
Rinse after use and wash in the dishwasher or by hand with the natural cleaning brush - see the natural cleaning brush here.
This product is durable and should last at least 12 months. When it's finally done, you can add it to your compost to biodegrade naturally. If you have a cleaning brush which is on its last legs, add it to your compost too until the coconut fibre bristles degrade, and then sift out the metal and add it to your metal recyclying bin if your council will allow, or take it to a scrap metal recycler.
