straws SUCK.
straws SUCK.
That's why Footprint spent a year designing a better paper straw that also won't hurt the environment.
Why is something so small such a big deal?
Plastic Straws Harm Sealife
Dr. Christine Figgener, PhD knows first hand the damage plastic straws can cause in our oceans. Plastic straws are exceptionally susceptible to being consumed by sealife as they float on the surface of the water. And it's not just plastic straws. Turtles and other sealife mistake plastic bags for jellyfish and eat them. Act now and pledge to help keep plastics out of our oceans.Engineering a Plastic Straw Alternative
Footprint has sold over 560M straws since 2019, preventing 560M plastic straws from harming the environment.
Soggy straws? No thanks. Footprint spent a full year engineering a quality straw that performs like plastic. Our straws are engineered to be strong over the course of days of use, while still breaking down completely after disposal.
