Plastic waste - literally! 1.6 straws are used every day in the US, while at least 4.4 billion are thrown away every year in the UK, and around 8 billion plastic straws are still breaking down on the world's coastlines (you don't want to know how many are actually in the ocean!) They're cheap, take centuries (literally) to break down, release microplastics (why they taste bad), are not recyclable, and visually and biologically pollute our environment. Stop eating plastic! Repeated studies have shown that people eat five grams of micro-nanoplastics per week (that's roughly the weight of a credit card). So, not only are we polluting the depths of our oceans, we're also polluting our gastrointestinal tracts! Don't be surprised if the plastic straws or plastic containers you use to store or consume food are not food grade! We make sure our ice straw molds are food grade, which means it won't release microplastics even in extreme cold/hot conditions. Stop buying straws! According to statistics, the average person uses 38,000 straws between the ages of 5 and 65. Save time, money, and the environment by making your own ice cubes and straws! Our food grade silicone molds have a manufacturer's recommendation of at least 100,000 uses. In other words, 1 ice straw = 100,000 straws! That's all the straws you'll ever need!
