Skip The Straw With Our Reusable Bamboo Straws

 

Today is National Skip the Straw Day and what better way to celebrate than with some Wave Soda Reusable Bamboo Straws?

Let's talk about why our bamboo straws are a great alternative to regular straws, much like how our healthy soda is a great alternative to regular soda! 

Ditch The Plastic Straws

Plastic straws can't be that bad, right?

Wrong! 

Let's check out 5 of the most shocking plastic facts that have inspired skip the straw day.

  1. An estimated 8.3 billion tons of plastic have been produced since the

    1950s (and only 9% of that has been recycled!)
  2. According to Nat Geo, 73% of all beach litter is plastic
  3. 1 million plastic bottles are bought around the world every minute
  4. Between 500 billion and 1 trillion plastic bags are used worldwide annually
  5. Ingestion of plastic kills an estimated 1 million marine birds and 100,000 marine animals each year

 

As scary as these facts are, many companies are stepping up to try and right this problem. This includes our unsweetened soda brand. 

We understand that even the smallest change can make a big impact, and that's why we sell reusable bamboo straws. 

Additionally, all of our Wave Soda Cans can be recycled, and we ship our soda in carboard so that it can be recycled as well. 

As a small business, we want to play a big part in creating a healthier Earth for everyone.
