Stroodles is a British company that came up with a simple yet genius way to replace plastic and paper straws. We already know that plastic straws are not the most eco-friendly solution for sipping drinks, but paper straws often get soggy before we get to finish our drink. The solution? Straws made of pasta!

Stroodles created biodegradable straws by mixing wheat and water. Their straws are edible, vegan, and don’t affect the flavor of drinks. Stroodles will help fight unnecessary plastic waste with an easy-to-use product. “We want to inspire the world and show how easy it is to do good – with just one Stroodle at a time. With Stroodles, you don’t have to change behaviors and compromise on your drinking experience,” the company says.

In case you’re wondering what happens with the stroodles that don’t come out perfectly shaped, the company has an answer. They pack them separately and donate them to food banks.

The simplest ideas are indeed often the best ones!

Big coffee chain Starbucks is about to ban plastic straws in all its stores next years. They promised to do this a year ago and are now following up with the decision. Instead of the plastic straws, they will use straw-less lids that have been tested at selected locations across the U.S. And Canada.

Customers have immediately started wondering if the new lid will also be made of plastic, to which the company responded that “the strawless lid is made from polypropylene, a commonly-accepted recyclable plastic that can be captured in recycling infrastructure, unlike straws which are too small and lightweight to be captured in modern recycling equipment,” writes The Guardian.

Starbucks isn’t the only company to be getting rid of plastic straws. This environmental cause is supported by McDonald’s (in the U.K.) and IKEA, which will be removing items like plastic straws, freezer bags, plates, and garbage bags from their restaurants and stores.
