Product Information

There’s no faffing around to build and piece the straw back together, it simply extends up to 19cm (a pretty ideal straw length). The pack contains three straight and three curved straws, plus a cotton cleaning brush, plus they're dishwasher safe. And when you’re done, the cleaning brush means you can give it a thorough scrub and re-use it time and again. All stainless steel is pretty durable in that it resists oxidation and corrosion, making it a great material choice for a reusable product like a straw.

Wavy Pavement makes a stainless-steel collapsible straw with two silicone tips on each end and several length options. If you find a variety that's dishwasher safe and can be recycled at the end of its life, then we think it’s one of the best choices. There are a lot of good reusable water bottles and tumblers out there, but not a lot of them come with a stainless-steel straw. A dishwasher would deteriorate these quickly, so it’s recommended to wash them by hand in hot soapy water.This set of two stainless steel straws comes with a silicone section, so you can bend them if you want to. For a straw to be truly sustainable, it should not only be made as sustainability as possible in the first place, but should also be able to be recycled or composted at the end of its life. Some glass straws are a little thicker than your average straw so can feel uncomfortable in the mouth, and they can also clink against the teeth when drinking (although you could argue that this can be the case when drinking from a glass too). It’s for that reason that we liked these: although there is some variation in their sizes, on the whole, they’re much slimmer. If you haven't washed your straws and they have dried-on bits inside them then soak them first and then wash as before.

Other alternatives include paper straws, which are single-use, but also biodegradable and compostable.

Save a turtle, skip a straw” became a massive motto and reusable, sustainable straws started popping up all over social media. The case is made from rust-proof aluminium, comes in a range of cool colours and has a keyring so you can attach it to your keys or bag, (hopefully) meaning you’ll never forget it. The problem with bamboo is that, as it’s a natural material, the sizes of bamboo straws can vary, with many being too fat to be comfortable. Again for safety precautions, metal straws should not be used while in motion or while driving or operating machinery. Collapsible straws are still made of sustainable, non-toxic stainless steel, but they also fold down into a smaller version of itself, making it more convenient while you’re on-the-go.
