Why Bamboo Straws?
Bamboo straws are one of the eco-friendliest options for straws. The natural straws also add a touch of a tropical feeling to any drink. Bamboo straws are great for families with children. Made of sturdy bamboo, they are hard to break. Our bamboo straws are rated as the best reusable straws by the Guardian.
At Home or On the Go
The straws come in a cotton pouch for all straws and a separate pouch for a single straw. This way, you can keep one straw in a handy place like your car or purse and refuse single-use straws on the go. The bigger pouch is perfect to keep the straws at home and use them whenever you feel like having an eco-friendly drink.
"It's just a straw" – said 8 billion people. Plastic straws are such a problem because of their sheer magnitude. It is estimated that over 1 billion straws are used every day worldwide. That is enough to wrap them around the world multiple times.
Most plastic straws are disposed of after a single-use. After enjoying your drink with them for a couple of minutes, they end up in landfills or nature for centuries to come.
Refuse Single-Use Straws
The best option is to refuse straws altogether. But not everyone can or wants to give up on straws. Then, a reusable straw is an eco-friendliest alternative. Most are made from bamboo, metal, glass or silicone.
What These Bamboo Straws Are Made Of
Bamboo: Made from natural bamboo stems harvested by local farmers. The bamboo is an invasive plant, so harvesting it provides extra income. Each straw is sanded smooth, then boiled and washed. It's dishwasher safe and biodegradable.
Pineapple Bristles: The straw brush bristles are made from pineapple leaves, making them resistant and long-lasting. A great example of upcycling.
304 Stainless Steel: The wire bends easily to clean hard to reach areas and is one of the world's most recycled materials.
Are bamboo straws reusable?
Yes, Bambaw bamboo straws are fully reusable. Made from natural bamboo, each straw can be washed and used again and again for months. Simply rinse after each use or place them in the dishwasher, and they are ready for your next drink.
Are bamboo straws safe for hot and cold drinks?
Yes. Bamboo is a natural insulator, so it stays comfortable to hold with both hot and cold drinks. It does not transfer heat like metal or glass, making it safe for smoothies, iced coffee, cocktails, and warm beverages.
How do I clean my bamboo straws?
Rinse your straws with warm water after each use, or place them in the dishwasher for a deeper clean. Every Bambaw set includes a straw cleaning brush with pineapple leaf bristles to scrub the inside of the straw, so you can reach every corner easily.
How long do bamboo straws last?
With proper care, Bambaw bamboo straws last for months and often up to a year or more. Rinse after each use, avoid leaving them soaking in water for long periods, and let them dry fully between uses to keep them in top shape.
Do bamboo straws come with a storage pouch?
Yes. Every Bambaw bamboo straw set comes with a cotton pouch for storing all your straws at home, plus a separate pouch for a single straw. That way you can keep one handy in your bag or car and refuse single use straws when you are out and about.
