INTRO a BPA-free, lead-free and toxin-free way to enjoy your drink... because #plasticsucks! stainless steel straws are made from medical-grade stainless steel, which is non-corrosive and non-reactive so the straws will not absorb flavors or odors. these straws can be used over and over again! CARE INSTRUCTIONS our stainless steel straws are dishwasher safe. GROWING APART? this item should last forever (yes, forever!) but if you decide to part ways, stainless steel straws can be recycled with metal recycling. REPLACEMENT FOR... plastic straws! research suggests that in the USA alone they use 500 million straws a day. rnough to wrap the circumference of the earth 2.5 times! instead of biodegrading, plastic degrades into smaller and smaller pieces and guess where those end? either ingested by marine or land animals. together we can change this stat - start now!
