Metal Straws: See Our Picks - Green Matters The Best Metal Straws: See Our Picks - Green Matters

If you’re no stranger to the #EcoWarrior life, then you know reusable alternatives to single-use plastic straws include reusable plastic straws, silicone straws, glass straws, and, of course, metal straws. Other alternatives include paper straws, which are single-use, but also biodegradable and compostable. If you’re looking for the best metal straw, go no further! While metal straws are considered unbreakable — and their durability is certainly an advantage for a reusable product — it can also be a disadvantage. Metal straws should not be used while walking, exercising, operating any machinery, or driving. A freak accident in England made headlines earlier this year after a woman drinking from a mason jar through a metal straw fell. According to the Washington Examiner, the metal straw remained intact, but impaled the woman through the eye, killing her. Ever been served a drink in a bar, pub or restaurant only to find the glass isn’t as clean as you’d like? It’s more common than you’d think, so it’s no surprise many would rather use a straw than drink directly from glasses when they’re out. At Lakeland, we have the answer. Our travel straws are the ultimate drinking companion wherever you go. Made from durable stainless steel, they’re telescopic, so they adjust to the size of your drink, no floating over the top or sinking to the bottom!

There are a lot of good reusable water bottles and tumblers out there, but not a lot of them come with a stainless-steel straw. In most cases, you have to buy the straws and cup (or water bottle) separately.

Picture your go-to refreshing drink in the Summer and it’s likely you’re imagining an ice cool glass of something fruity that’s got a straw for good measure. Sipping through a straw when enjoying that tipple has plenty of benefits – it’s more hygienic than drinking directly out of a cup, far more hygienic than drinking directly from a can, and it decreases the chances of staining or discolouring your front teeth. But plastic straws were never good for our environment, and paper straws? Well, the less said, the better.

The sulfur and fatty acids in certain foods and drinks could have an effect on the stainless steel over time. While 316L medical grade stainless steel straws are generally more costly, there is less of a chance of the straw wearing over time.
