What is a reed straw?
Reed straws are made from the dried and processed stalks of certain types of reeds. These reeds, which include the common reed (Phragmites australis) and the giant reed (Arundo donax), are found in many parts of the world, like Portugal, India, China, Ukraine, the Netherlands and France. The stalks of these plants are hollow, and when they are dried and sterilised, they can be used as drinking straws.
If you haven't seen them yet, reed straws look like bamboo but the structure is a little bit thinner making them user-friendly for bars, hotels and restaurants. Because they are 100% natural they are biodegradable. Even if reed straws end up in the ocean, they won't cause a problem as they are 100% natural.
