But what are reed straws?

Reed straws are environmentally friendly alternatives to plastic straws. They are made from natural reed, which is a sustainable and renewable resource. Reed straws are biodegradable, meaning they can be composted after use and return to nature without harmful environmental consequences. They are an excellent choice for hospitality businesses that want to reduce their ecological footprint while offering their customers a sustainable alternative.

In addition to being a sustainable choice, reed straws have a natural appearance that complements various types of drinks and presentations. They add a touch of authenticity.

 

Where are reed straws made?

Reed straws are made from the hollow stems of the reed plant. Reed is a natural and sustainable material that has been used for various purposes for centuries, including making straws. The stems of the reed are harvested, then cleaned and dried. After drying, the stems are cut to size to form straws. Using reed as a material for straws is an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic straws, as reed is a renewable resource and biodegradable. Moreover, using reed straws gives drinks a rustic and natural appearance, making them popular among hospitality businesses striving for an eco-friendly image.

Using reed straws in the hospitality industry has several benefits. We've listed them here for you:

2. Guests will appreciate that you make sustainable choices and will feel more connected to your brand. Reed straws give your drinks a natural and authentic look. They look great in your drinks and also make your establishment appear eco-friendly.
