We stand against single-use plastics. We were inspired by the anti-plastic and no straw movements, we're concerned of single-use plastic straws ending up in landfills and oceans releasing toxic pollutants harming marine life. We started a Straw-Volution to ditch plastic straws. In our mission to find a 100% natural alternatives to plastic straws, we discovered straws made from straw, the answer was all in the name all along. We were surprised at how simple the solution could be. Hay/straw is a byproduct of wheat production. HAY! Straws® strong, drinking straws perfectly replace single-use plastic straws, they're 100% biodegradable and can be tossed right in the compost bin after use.
