Paper Straws | Prints for Occasions

WHAT DOES IT REPLACE?
Plastic Straws — These straws are made from responsibly sourced paper, not petroleum.

"Single-use plastics are a plague on our environment, our health, and future generations. They need to go! The amount of unnecessary plastic produced on a daily basis is beyond staggering. “Forever Plastic” are named that for a reason. They break down into smaller plastic parts or degrade slightly, but they never really go away. Ton for ton, it is predicted that by mid-century, the oceans will contain more plastic waste than fish."

ABOUT THE COMPANY
"At Roc Paper Straws, we have so much love for this crazy world we live in and want to help turn the corner towards a more sustainable future. Preferably one that is free of icky, single-use plastics! This is the type of unnecessary waste that is yucking up our planet and can hopefully be eliminated, or at least replaced by more sustainable, eco-centric products.

For there to be a change towards this looming plastic waste problem, we need to work together; the businesses that produce these products and the consumers who buy them. If consumers continue to buy these harmful products, the companies will continue to produce them. If the companies continue to produce them, many customers will continue to buy them, especially if an alternative isn’t available. It’s a seemingly endless cycle, but we, at Roc Paper Straws, are determined to throw a wrench in this cog and stir things up a bit. 

We take our mission very seriously and have worked diligently to make sure zero single-use plastics are used in our straw-making process and that all our materials come from eco-responsible sources."
