Why choose a stainless steel straw over a bamboo straw?

Bamboo straws do not come from France. The raw material, bamboo, mostly comes from China. Bamboo is a naturally brittle material; it can break or split.

A bamboo straw left to soak in water can go moldy.

Contrary to what everyone tells you, bamboo is difficult to biodegrade because it takes a very long time to compost. It takes several months for bamboo to decompose.

A stainless steel or metal straw does not go moldy, unlike bamboo, so you can use it endlessly.

Stainless steel straws are a high-quality product, often used in the restaurant industry. Additionally, stainless steel straws regulate the temperature of the drink inside the glass, which helps keep drinks fresher for longer.

The most important thing about stainless steel straws is that they are indestructible, unlike bamboo, glass or even plastic straws.

Maintaining stainless steel straws

It's very simple; just rinse it with water or put it in the dishwasher. You can often find small brushes that come with it. These brushes will allow you to thoroughly clean the inside of your straw.
