With the increasing demand for eco-friendly straws , the engraving and gift market is looking for a wider range of exciting and new products . UK Hip Flasks have further extended their range of fun and environmentally friendly drinking options - ideal for your customer base .
Why choose steel or bamboo straws over plastic straws ?
Both our stainless steel and bamboo straw ranges are eco-friendly and designed to be reused . Unlike their plastic counterparts , they are not just for one-time use .
Your customers are increasingly becoming aware of the damage excess plastic use is having on our environment and will be looking to make more sustainable choices . Providing eco-friendly straws instead of throwaway plastic straws is already a choice being made by many bars , restaurants and cafes all across the UK and around the world , and it is increasingly becoming a choice consumers are looking to make too .
It ’ s estimated that more than 5 trillion pieces of plastic currently litter our oceans and plastic straws significantly contribute to this . Before businesses and individuals made the sustainable choice to stop or reduce their use of plastic straws , around 500 million disposable straws were used each day . Whilst this figure is now reduced , it is nowhere near zero . By providing your customers with eco-friendly alternatives , you can help to lower this number and save the oceans from plastic pollution .
Bamboo – a strong , natural alternative
Bamboo straws are becoming more popular – but some people ask whether it ’ s strong enough . Actually , bamboo can be stronger that steel in terms of tensile strength and it ’ s even used as scaffolding in some countries . Our straws are a touch smaller than a scaffold pipe though ! We sell 6mm and 8mm diameter straws . Bamboo straws can be customised using CO2 engraving .
Of course , bamboo is a totally natural alternative to plastic – created from a fast growing , widely occurring plant . They can be re-used many times , and when they do reach the end of their life they ’ re fully biodegradable .
Stainless steel straws becoming increasingly popular
And it ’ s easy to see why . They are strong , hygienic and easy to care for . The variety of colours , styles and themes are increasing month by month – from straws with geometric patterns to ones with clever twisted designs . Most steel straws can also be engraved with personal messages or logos .
Aren ’ t they expensive ? Not really . In fact , our stainless steel straws start at just 21p each for bulk quantities . Adding personalisation to this low cost item is a fantastic way to boost your profit margin . Large custom order ? With our in-house laser engraving service we can fulfil orders for you at very competitive prices and dispatch under plain cover .
There ’ s also a range of accessories available – cleaning brushes , pouches and wooded straw holders ( which also can be customised ).
