About Design Drinking Glass Straws
Design Drinking is a set of five reusable glass straws made as an alternative to single-use plastic straws. Each straw is engraved individually with an ornament linked to a different city, recalling the decorative style of the early nineteenth century. The straws measure 200 by 7 millimetres and are made of high quality Schott glass, produced by hand in a traditional glassworks in Munich. The set is packed in ecological grass cardboard with a fitted inlay and a cleaning brush of cotton fibres. Each straw can be washed and reused up to 1042 times in a dishwasher.

- Inspiration
- What do you think? How many plastic straws are thrown away every day? Millions? Billions? The second guess is right! There are 3-6 billion plastic straws that end up in the garbage every day worldwide. The amount thrown away is roughly equivalent to the weight of 500 orca whales. So good, that finally there will be a ban on plastic drinking straws in the EU in 2021.
