    Eco straws in a nice pouchä

    Nice pouch in tissue with a small and a big straw.

    You can keep it in a bag to go out with, and look really pretty! The straws never expire and can be stored as long as you wish. These straws respect all principles of the circular economy fully, without any negative impact on other aspects such as CO2 emission, energy and water consumption, pesticides, bamboo exploitation, and chemical products in production. They are sterilised and ready for use.

    Each pouch in tissue sold will also benefit the NGO Travel4thoughts, which raises funds to replace single-use plastic straws on an island in the Indian Ocean. In addition, the production of ecological straws provides work and income for local communities of vulnerable people, such as people with disabilities.
