EVERY STRAW SOLD SUPPORTS SEA LIFE!
Stainless Steel Straws for Boba Tea?
Boba tea enthusiasts know that the perfect bubble tea is an addicting experience. A good bubble tea is sweet and ice cold, slightly creamy, and flavored with your favorite choice from hundreds of bright, refreshing flavors. Then, nearly done with your drink, you find the tapioca treasures at the bottom of the glass and slurp them up your GIANT PLASTIC STRAW.
Bubble Tea Retailers: Your Straws Suck
We love boba tea and we thank you for selling it! Really, it's delicious and as filling as a light meal. But those huge plastic straws are costing you business.
The impact of plastic straws on our environment became a buzz on the internet when a video of a sea turtle having a plastic straw removed from his nasal passage made us all wince in sympathy. Public outcry became so heated California's Governor Jerry Brown passed a law requiring restaurants ask customers before providing them with a straw.
Regardless of your own opinion on the plastic straw debate, the fact is boba tea retailers are losing business because of it. Between the impact of local legislation and growing consumer concern, bubble tea shops are surely suffering. The good news is that you have some options as new styles of straws make a welcome entrance into the industry.
Other Options:
You Aren't Alone
According to National Geographic, bubble tea retailers aren't the only beverage retailers hustling to make changes. NG says Starbucks will phase out traditional plastic straws by 2020. McDonald's will stop providing plastic straws in Ireland and the U.K. Even Alaska Airlines is dropping plastic straws for their in-flight services.
