THE PLASTIC STRAW
- 500 million straws are used each day by people in the United States alone
- Estimates report as much as 8.3 billion plastic straws pollute the world’s beaches
- Millions of turtles, seabirds and other wildlife die each year from complications directly related to plastic consumption
- Biodegradation time for plastic straws is 800 to 1400 years
THE AGAVE SOLUTION
- Agave products, including the straw, are made from bagasse—the leftover agave fiber derived from tequila and nectar production
- Agave straws are consumed by microorganisms and will fully biodegrade in between 1 to 5 years in normal landfill conditions
- Its rich, earthy color distinguishes it as a collaboration between you and your customer; making our world a better place for all things living—one straw at a time
- Does not fall apart in hot or cold beverages
- Reusable
- Imparts no aftertaste
- Looks and feels super cool
BUSINESSES THAT ENGAGE IN ECO-FRIENDLY PRACTICES WILL:
- create a positive brand image
- attract new customers—word-of-mouth is powerful
- increase customer loyalty
- experience an increase in the number of employees who want to work at an eco-friendly company
- reduce costs
- increase the bottom line
- raise awareness of best practices that will extend beyond the post-Covid era
