中文 (中国)Plastic straws with many colors are familiar dispensing tools in the beverage business so far. However, according to the current global trend, plastic straws are gradually being replaced by reusable straws and straws made from biodegradable plants. Bamboo straws, grass straws are two types of plant straws that are trusted by many people because they are both safe to use and contribute to environmental protection.
Bamboo straws
The hard, hollow, small diameter bamboo rods are used as straws that can be used many times. Bamboo straws are handmade with a natural shape, not painted or coated with toxic preservatives.
The inherent rustic look of bamboo straws is a way to help you create accents for your drink without having to decorate it too much. In addition, you can sell each straw separately, customers can keep with them to use when needed. Bamboo straws are also an interesting suggestion for you to make gifts for loyal customers. The meticulously engraved bamboo pipes will surely make customers enjoy and often use instead of plastic straws.
When using bamboo straws, pay attention to clean them with a coir brush after each use and store them in a cool, dry place away from moisture to ensure quality.
Grass straws
Lepironia articulata grass grows wild in many places in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. This grass, when reaching 1-2 years old, will have a hard, hollow stem, quite suitable for making straws. The straws are green, handmade and always ensure the freshness of the green when delivered to customers. If bamboo straws are used many times, grass straws are only used once, but they are still loved by many people because they can decompose quickly after being discharged into the environment.
Fresh grass straws can be stored at room temperature for about 5 days, if refrigerated, can be kept for up to 2 weeks. However, the best time to use fresh grass straws is about 1-3 days, at this time, the grass still retains its beautiful green color. The dried straws can be stored for up to 18 months.
To make colorful plastic straws, it is necessary to add chemical dyes, these substances will come into direct contact during the use of drinks, in the long run, causing bad effects on health. In contrast, bamboo straws and grass straws are made entirely from natural plants, do not contain any harmful preservatives, so are completely safe for users and safe for the environment as well.
