Jungle Straws is a socially responsible company who manufacture and supply SGS certified, food safe bamboo straws and eco-friendly products that promote sustainable living. Since our inception, our purpose has been to support, educate, and inspire individuals and businesses of all kinds to make the switch to reusable and zero waste alternatives in order to reduce the devastating effects that single-use plastic pollution is having on our planet.

Our ethos is epitomised by our company values which is why we have overseen all aspects of our manufacturing and supply chain operations in person, relocating to the source of the raw materials in Vietnam in order to develop ethical relationships with the workshops and artisans of whom we work alongside.

Our 新168幸运飞开艇官方开奖-开奖直播 and earth-friendly products can also be customised. They are not only beautiful, but they are responsibly cultivated and crafted with pride. Plastic waste is a large global epidemic that threatens to change our world for good. We, as citizens of that world need to act now.

"Be good, be conscious. We are Jungle Straws."

Jungle Straws is a proud member of the 1% for the Planet global organisation & movement. We pledge 1% of our sales to the preservation & restoration of the natural environment. We donate to domestic & international grassroots & environmental groups which helps make a difference in their local communities.

OUR VALUES

We proudly challenge modern production techniques that place too much emphasis on profit at the expense of people and our environment. Our values in eco-sustainability are not just about how cheaply a product can be manufactured. Instead, it is of great importance to us that our bamboo straws and eco friendly products are sourced responsibly, using natural and organic materials. This limits waste throughout the entire production process, and helps to support local communities in rural areas.

OUR workshops

Our farms and workshops use sustainable bamboo and natural materials, grown responsibly in Vietnam. During the harvest and production phase, no chemicals are used. Our bamboo is cultivated organically, without the need for any harmful fertilisers or pesticides, and so growing it doesn’t contribute to any unwelcome elements entering ground-water. We invite you to come and take a look at how to make bamboo straws at our farm. Our coconut bowls, bamboo cutlery and natural soaps are all sourced responsibly by artisans.

WHY BAMBOO?

We absolutely love bamboo! Not only does it look and feel great, but it is 100% sustainable, fully biodegradable, and can be harvested in as little as 3-5 years. Bamboo releases 35% more oxygen into our atmosphere and absorbs more carbon dioxide when compared to other plants. Jungle Straws reusable alternatives and zero waste swaps help reduce the heart-breaking and saddening use of plastic and single use plastic items, which are contributing to the demise of wildlife and ocean habitats all around the world.

Jungle Straws is the leader in its field, not just because of the way we operate transparently, but also because of how we innovate. The company has experienced huge success and international growth due to its dedication in empowering businesses to take a stand against plastic waste. Our bamboo straws are stocked in over 25 countries worldwide, and we have proudly partnered alongside many respectable organisations including National Geographic, Penguin Random House, The British Embassy & BHP Billiton.

REDUCE

By choosing to purchase Jungle Straws, you are doing your bit to support a plastic-free world. Approximately 500 million plastic drinking straws are being thrown into landfills each and every year, and over 8 billion straws are used annually in the UK.

Jungle Straws are a smart, green alternative to keep in your home. Our reusable straws are made from whole stalks of bamboo: nothing recompressed, nothing added! This makes them simple to maintain by adhering to a few quick and easy steps:

REUSE

1) We advise people to boil their bamboo straws in a little salt and vinegar before using them for the first time. This helps to remove any residue, or remove any ‘woody’ aroma.

2) After each use, rinse your plant based drinking straws under the tap and every so often clean the inside using the cleaning brush provided. You can even put your Jungle Straws in the dishwasher, but make sure to switch off the hot & dry function and dry them immediately. Easy? We told you so!

RECYCLE

3) Always allow your bamboo straws to dry fully but fear not; they dry very quickly! Store your straws in a well-ventilated place, and never in air-tight containers or jars

4) Aside from keeping your Jungle Straws dry, keep them well-ventilated as well. Our natural hessian pouches are breathable, and are the perfect companion for your new purchase.

Tip: Leaving your Jungle Straws to dry naturally in sunlight turns your straws into a bright shade of golden yellow!

“It is estimated that nearly 500 million disposable plastic straws are tossed into landfill sites every year - that’s enough to fill 127 school busses with plastic straws every single day of the year.”  Jungle Straws are not only a smart, green alternative for consumers, but can also be a solution for responsible business owners that want to be ambassadors for real change. What impact is your plastic usage having on the environment and are you doing enough?

Are bamboo straws good for the environment?

Jungle Straws are natures' best friend! They are 100% biodegradable and eco-friendly which is 100% better than using plastic! By purchasing our bamboo straws, you can be confident knowing that you're taking steps towards achieving a plastic free world. 

Is your bamboo ethically sourced?

Absolutely. The bamboo we use in our reusable drinking straws is 100% sustainable, eco-friendly, and has not contributed to any deforestation. Bamboo requires very few pesticides or heavy machinery to harvest, and all of our straws are proudly cultivated by hand. Come and take a look at how to make straws from bamboo.

Have Jungle Straws been treated using any chemicals, colorants, oils etc?

Over 1 billion plastic and petroleum-based, non-biodegradable straws are used around the world everyday. We take great pride in how we manufacture our eco-friendly straws. We use absolutely no chemicals, pesticides or colourants. Jungle Straws are 100% organic and 100% guilt free!

Are bamboo straws biodegradable? 

They certainly are! Jungle straws are plant based, fully compostable and can be easily recycled. When you have finished with them, simply put them into a recycling or compost bin, or get creative! Our personal favourite is to use them as plant stands or give them to the kids for homework and craft projects! We do however, strongly advise against using them as pea-shooters! 

Can bamboo straws be reused? 

Absolutely! Your Jungle Straws can be reused many times over if properly cared for and are a great alternative to plastic. Say goodbye to throw-away straws and start your plastic-free journey today!

How do I store them? 

With every pack of Jungle Straws, we include two natural jute bags; one for holding your straws all together in one place, and another that fits inside a single straw. We want people to think and act consciously, so we designed the single straw case in order to provide a convenient solution to be able to carry your Jungle Straw wherever you go! 

Can bamboo straws be recycled?

Jungle Straws are made from organic bamboo, which is 100% biodegradable. You can simply throw them away without worrying where they'll end up and what damage they may be doing to the environment. However, our top tip is to use them in your garden as plant stands or give them to the kids for craft projects!

Who are Jungle Straws? 

We are an independent UK based company driven to help end the damage that single-use plastic causes to our environment. Our values in eco-sustainability ensure that our bamboo drinking straws are not only beautifully handmade, but are also ethically sourced at rural farms in rural Vietnam, where we have personally overseen the entire manufacturing process from start to finish.

Why Bamboo?

Bamboo is fully sustainable, strong, naturally antibacterial and resistant to mould and mildew. It is essential in the balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. It grows to full height in under five years and can be harvested easily.

Can bamboo straws go in the dishwasher?

Yes, they are 100% dishwasher safe, but make sure to switch off the hot & dry function and dry them immediately. We also recommend using the cleaning brush provided from time to time to remove any trapped debris, and once a month washing them with boiling water and vinegar. Please visit our Care Guide for further information on how to clean bamboo straws.

How are bamboo straws made?

The bamboo is cultivated by hand, then it is chopped and filed into the shape of a straw. We believe in zero waste which is why we use the entire bamboo stalk. It is then left to dry in the sun to achieve a well balanced colour. Finally, the straws are pressure washed to remove any dirt residue, and engraved with the Jungle Straws brand name using a fine laser engraver.

Why bamboo straws instead of other alternatives such as metal or paper straws?

Metal straws can take up to 200 years to decompose, they are not biodegradable or organic and they will eventually end up in the ocean or a landfill site. Paper straws are an alternative, but they aren't reusable and become wet and soggy after one use.

Are Jungle Straws organic?

Yes, bamboo is completely sustainable and biodegradable and our plant based bamboo straws never come into contact with any artificial chemicals of any nature.

How long do they last if used regularly? For example, in a bar or a restaurant.

One bamboo straw can be washed hundreds of times and each pack includes twelve straws. We expect them to withstand many months of continuous use before the need to replace them. 

What is the length & width of a Jungle Straw & can I use them for bubble tea?

Each biodegradable bamboo straw is between 20-21cm in length. We use the entire bamboo stalk, thus each straw is a slightly different thickness. Some are great for smoothies or reusable boba straws, whereas others we prefer for juices and cocktails.
