Bamboo straw

Bamboo

Each bamboo straw is made of a natural bamboo stem harvested by local farmers on their properties. The bamboo doesn't come from farm fields but is a non-timber forest product harvested by cutting out invasive bamboo plants on the farmers' properties. This provides extra incomes for farmers who were burning this invasive bamboo before.

The bamboo is then sanded to be smooth and splinter-free. Finally, bamboo is boiled and washed. It only takes a couple of hours to produce a Bambaw straw as the bamboo grows so fast.

Thanks to its robustness, the bamboo can go into the dishwasher while still biodegradable, making it the perfect component for reusable straws.

• 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.
