Ditching Single Use Plastic

Earlier this month was World Oceans Day. And as every year we are ready to talk about the facts. We’ve said it before but by 2050, it is estimated that we will have more plastic in the ocean by weight than fish. How is that even possible? Well, you know how. Single-use plastics. They are single-handedly killing our ocean life as microplastics filter into all marine life. And because fish are consuming microplastics and many of us eat fish, we are eating microplastics as well.

So, in the spirit of combating single-use plastic consumption in order to defend our oceans, we’d like to re-introduce you to the Soma Travel Straw – our solution to the ubiquitous single-use plastic straw.

It is going to change the way you hydrate. 

Strong. First, our straw is made from borosilicate glass which is strong and durable, so you can carry and clean it without worrying about breakage. 

Safe. For an added layer of protection, our straw also comes with a silicone-lined protective case that fits neatly in your bag.

Clean. Our custom-designed silicone tool will keep your straw squeaky clean (it’s especially helpful with smoothies and milky coffee drinks!). And you will be able to see just how clean it is because it’s glass – nothing can hide.

We created this product so we all can enjoy the clean taste of our beverages while helping to keep single-use plastic out of the oceans. Plastic straws aren’t outlawed everywhere yet, but this is our head start.
