Reusable Straws

Why reusable straws?

Since July 2021, there has been  the European Union  a ban on plastic straws. Good news, because this will significantly reduce litter and plastic waste. These plastic straws often end up in the oceans and despite their small size, they cause a lot of damage. Fortunately, that time is over and we can now choose an environmentally friendly alternative.

Of course, you can always choose not to use straws at all, but would you like to enjoy your favorite drink with a straw? Then use reusable straws!

Reusable straws are an environmentally friendly alternative

Reusable straws can be washed after use, so you don't have to throw them away after every drink and they don't contribute to the ever-growing mountain of waste.

The best reusable straws in our opinion are stainless steel straws and bamboo straws. The metal stainless steel straws are extremely strong and you basically never have to replace them. If you want to throw them away for some reason, they can easily be recycled. The bamboo straws are made of bamboo, a fast-growing plant that does not need extra water or pesticides to grow. It is a strong material and is biodegradable.

How do reusable straws work?

If you want to buy reusable straws, it is important that you first think about what you want to use them for. Reusable straws come in different shapes and sizes. For example, you have wider reusable straws especially for smoothies and milkshakes, short straws for a nice cocktail glass and long straws that fit perfectly in a drinking bottle. You can store your reusable straw and cleaning brush in a beautiful cork case and take it with you on the go.

Reusable straws are easy to maintain by rinsing them after use and cleaning them with a straw cleaning brush. The stainless steel straws are even dishwasher safe, making them extra easy!

What different types of reusable straws are there?

Nowadays, there are many eco-friendly alternatives to plastic straws to choose from. For example, you have reusable straws made of bamboo, stainless steel, glass or silicone.

At Zo Zero you will find stainless steel straws from A Slice of Green and bamboo straws from Bamboo. The stainless steel straws are available in all shapes and sizes and are therefore suitable for every drink: long, short and smoothie. You can also choose from short and long bamboo straws. The bamboo straws can differ in shape, size, color and markings and therefore each straw is unique! Would you prefer all your bamboo straws to be identical? No problem, they are also available!
