An Insider's Guide to Bamboo Straws

An Insider's Guide to Bamboo Straws

Way back in 2012, bambu was the first brand to bring to market reusable bamboo straws. It was an innovative idea at the time. The first time most people had ever heard or seen, or certainly used a bamboo straw.

Once again, we were ahead of our time. Sales started out slow. We fielded a lot of questions from curious customers. Over the years, sales picked up steadily. And more bamboo straws were shipped and sipped and enjoyed.

By using biodegradable straws we are reducing the need for plastic straws. And that's good for everyone and good for the planet.  

Eco-friendly straws have become a core product of our range because of our high standards. Today, bambu® offers more choices of bamboo drinking straws than any other brand

While it is true, people can now find numerous sources for eco-friendly straws, there is only one source for the best quality, USDA certified organic bamboo straws in the world, and that's bambu®.

Moreover, we can tout that we offer the best quality bamboo straws anywhere. How can we say that? We have been producing reusable bamboo straws longer than any other company, and we have developed our own rigid quality control practices and inspection process. 

As a part of our production process, our bamboo drinking straws are inspected for acceptable size and diameter. Straws are also inspected and graded and must pass our requirements before we ship them out to our customers.

We also inspect the material for color consistency and uniformity. Nature is not always perfect so we try to be. 

As we often say, the simplest looking products are often the most difficult to make. And high-quality bamboo straws are no exception.

Reusable Bamboo Drinking Straws

Original Green Bamboo Straws

OG is our shorthand for the 'original green' bamboo straws that we first introduced in 2012. The first bamboo straw to hit the market is still the most popular. These organic straws retain their original and natural green 'skin' hence, the name.

Each straw is inspected and meets our requirements before we pack them and ship them. Six eight-inch straws are included along with a straw cleaning brush. The brush isn't made from nylon like most but instead is made from a plant-based bristle.
