It may seem unfathomable to envision a future free from single-use plastics, such as plastic straws, as it may seem we are dependent on their existence to support our daily habits and lifestyle. Despite the convenience plastics might bring, we must try to make choices that will preserve the earth for ourselves and future generations. It is time to make some changes, no longer can we sit by and merely observe the damage generated by plastic waste. Let’s minimize our ecological footprint, leaving nothing but memories, clean beaches, fresh air, and rich waters ready to sustain animal and human life for years to come. Read on to discover how to make the eco-friendly switch with sustainable straws without losing any of the convenience - one drink at a time!
Sustainable Reusable Bamboo Drinking Straws
Bamboo straws are known as one of the best contenders for sustainable straws. Derived from the rapid-growing, renewable resource that is the bamboo plant, these biodegradable straws are durable, reliable and an excellent choice when going green! Unfortunately, bamboo drinking straws are more susceptible than other materials to long-term wear and tear after many uses, and have a more difficult, specific cleaning process than other alternatives. The resistant texture and fibrous nature, the shape, and even the width are all factors to consider when selecting the most suitable brush to use. They consequently also leave a subtle after-taste of wooden notes in your mouth after sipping, so contemplate both the benefits and side effects of selecting this sustainable straw.

Sustainable Reusable Glass Drinking Straws
Layered and tempered, these durable and sustainable glass straws are expertly crafted. The clear and transparent nature of the glass straws ensures users can easily observe their cleanliness, whilst also being tasteless and scentless.
Alas, glass straws remain heavier than other organic straw options, and may not suit constant travelers or small children as the glass can shatter if dropped or mishandled.

Eco-friendly Reusable Silicone Drinking Straws
Silicone straws are the ultimate choice for sustainable-minded individuals that prefer using softer, more flexible straws. The rubbery soft texture lends itself to comfortable use and as they are dishwasher-safe, even the most relaxed of us all can enjoy them without complicated cleaning processes. Silicone ensures these straws are long-lasting, however, there is a disadvantage to this.
Silicone is generally classified as a type of rubber. It can be compared to a hybrid between synthetic rubber and plastic polymer, so we can contest that silicone is not more natural than other fossil-based plastics. This makes silicone straws the least sustainable straws among the mentioned above and below. Without proper care, cleaning, and dry storage, the material can become molded over time.

Sustainable Reusable Metal Straws
Metal straws, made mostly from stainless steel, are one of the most durable and long-lasting options for sustainable straws. Similar to their silicone counterpart, metal straws are dishwasher-safe and convenient for frequent traveling.
Arguably, their largest fault may be their rapid heat-conducting properties that are a by-product of the steel. A thirst-quenching cold drink can be enjoyed through a metal straw due to the low temperature, but when placed in a hot drink, the liquid will also heat the metal straw and create a risk of minor burns on your lips or tongue.

Sustainable Paper Drinking Straws
Paper straws may be the most popular and original sustainable straws that were introduced to the hospitality business. Made from paper and recycled resources, paper straws are well-suited to printing logos and patterns and creating unique colorways! These eco-friendly biodegradable straws are commonly the most distinctive in terms of eye-catching appearances.
Unfortunately, paper straws become soggy extremely quickly when resting in liquid, and may not be entirely eco-friendly during the manufacturing process. There is some controversy surrounding the high-energy emissions and microplastic ingredients discovered in the production of paper straws. Therefore, the sustainability of paper straws remains one that is up for debate.
