Grown in the wet regions of Vietnam, grass straws are an excellent alternative to single-use plastic.

    Work just as well as plastic straws
    These work just as good as plastic straws, except when you throw them out they break down naturally and don’t take 450 years to decompose.

To disposal:

 

  • Home compost
  • Worm compost (if cut in small pieces)
  • FOGO*/Green kerbside bin along with your garden waste
  • Backyard burial
  • Landfill bin

Even if this product can break down in the environment, we recommend proper disposal and never in the nature!

*Food Organics and Garden Organics

Why we like them:

  • They are suitable for hot and cold drinks and don’t get soggy quickly like most paper straws.
  • They are a wild grass so they can return to the environment when we’re done with them.
  • They are ocean friendly!
