Wheat Straws vs Paper Straws
- Paper straws are made from paper.
- Paper straws mean less trees and unless they come from a certified paper source then they are part of the problem.
- Paper straw production uses lots of toxic chemicals.
- Paper straws go soggy in your drink and dissolve.
The Best Eco Straw is a by product of wheat production, a product that is 100% sustainable, natural and not processed with toxic chemicals. Our straws DO NOT GO SOGGY OR DISSOLVE and can last for days.
Wheat Straws vs Rice
- Rice straws – mix of Rice starch and Tapioca
- Korean entrepreneur invention, lasts for a few hours in cold drinks, much less in hot drinks.
- In our world of food shortages and famine, using food for straws seems kind of unethical.
The Best Eco Straw is NOT WASTING FOOD
Wheat Straws vs Pasta
- Pasta straws are made from pasta
- Sturdy and less prone than paper to become soggy, however they go slimy very fast in your drink and alter the flavour of the drink.
- Not suitable for Coeliacs and Gluten intolerant people

The Best Eco Straws DO NOT GO SLIMY or ALTER THE DRINK FLAVOUR
Wheat Straws vs Bamboo Reusable Straws
- Bamboo straws are made from the bamboo stem.
- Bamboo is the least hygienic of all reusable straws, It is porous so it absorbs the flavours and is very hard to clean 100%.
- Bamboo is not a sustainable product and there are no managed sustainable bamboo plantations for the drinking straw industry. If we scale up the use of bamboo, we will deprive the indigenous people of it.
Wheat Straws vs Metal Reusable Straws
- Metal re-useable straws are made from metal.
- Like every Reusable straw in bars and restaurants, they are a massive hygienic problem, since the inner metal tube needs to be scrubbed and sterilized.
- And if you have your own, but haven’t bought it with you…. well..
- Hot drinks through metal straws, well they can be a real hazard and the metal straw heats with the drink.
The Best Eco Straws DO NOT GET HOT.
Wheat Straws vs Glass Reusable Straws
- Glass reusable straws are made from glass
- Glass stem straws are a fantastic solution at home for the family. You can reuse them and clean them after every use.
- For the larger family gatherings or parties, glass straws might not be the most safe or economical option.
- For bars and restaurants they pose the same hygiene problems as metal straws and need to be scrubbed internally and sterilized after every use.
- They are a lot more fragile option than metal or bamboo.
- Dishwashers cannot clean glass or metal straws properly.
The Best Eco Straw is a safe, preferable option that is earth friendly.
