Paper straws have become a mainstream alternative to plastic and metal varieties but are notorious for becoming soggy in a short period of time, so 'STRAWS' have been created to help offer a sturdier alternative. Created by Warsaw, Poland-based PG Brand Reforming, the straws are made from dried stems instead of manufactured material in order to make them completely biodegradable and eco-friendly. The packaging for the straws is made from 100% recycled cardboard to further enhance the sustainable nature of the product.
The 'STRAWS' feature geometric shapes on the packaging that are referred to as spiders because of centuries-old Slavic folklore that foretells that spiders protect houses from fires and other natural disasters. This speaks to the way that the straws themselves help to keep unnecessary plastic waste out of the environment and help protect the planet in a small but impactful way.
