About Strawfree.org
Strawfree.org aims to promote an environmentally sustainable, plastic-free lifestyle by eliminating the use of disposable plastic straws. With this goal in mind, its creators have developed an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic straws - bamboo straws. Each straw they use is unique and handmade from locally harvested bamboo. Strawfree.org prevents landfills by harvesting local ornamental bamboo. Because bamboo cannot be composted in municipal composting facilities, it does not decompose at the same rate as other plant materials. Their goal is to further raise awareness of the environmental impact of plastic straws by educating customers with instructional materials, expanding their business and developing alternative solutions, including bamboo poles.
