With the demand for more eco-friendly straws increasing, many organizations have created paper-based or reusable metal straws, but one company has gone a step further by introducing a pasta-based sustainable drinking Straw -- the Stroodle.
The Stroodle is made from wheat and water and is able to decompose and biodegrade in one single day. Compared to paper straws, which can take up to a month to fully decompose, the Stroodle will help to decrease pollution in an efficient way. The company hopes to inspire consumers to make more sustainable choices in their everyday purchases.
The Stroodle straws are manufactured in Italy in ethical factories and can be ordered online through Amazon in Spain, France, Italy, Germany, and the UK. A portion of the sales from the sustainable straw will be donated to non-profits who seek to end plastic pollution.
