Hot New Promotional Item – Reusable Straws

In case you hadn’t heard, there is a growing movement to cut down on the use of plastic items, including drinking straws and bags. In the U.S. alone, Americans use millions of plastic straws and bags a day. These items are used for a few minutes and then tossed out, but they live on in our oceans and landfills for hundreds of years.

It’s a big pollution problem, as well as causing dangerous injuries for sea birds, fish and sea turtles, so restaurants, companies, and cities are starting to take action. Companies like McDonalds has already banned all plastic straws in their U.K. locations. Or Alaska Airlines who handed out 22 million straws in 2017 has decided to ban them from all flights and airport lounges. Teresa May, the Prime Minister of the U.K., has proposed banning them throughout all of Britain.

Here in the U.S. cities like Seattle, Malibu, Miami Beach, San Juan Obispo, and Ft. Myers have cracked down on plastic straw usage.

However, straws have a function that people don’t necessarily want to lose. Many disabled people rely on straws. So people are on the search for alternatives and that creates a branding opportunity for your company.

Reusable straws are becoming very popular promotional products right now. Here are two that we recommend to delight your customers, prospects, and employees with something new.

Folding, Collapsible Drinking Straw

This reusable straw is made of BPA-Free material. It’s collapsible, folding into 4 pcs. and fits into an included, imprinted carry case. It’s lightweight and portable so people can easily stash it in a purse, briefcase, or backpack. It’s also easy to clean with an included cleaning brush. Complies with CE, FCC, FDA, and RoHS standards. Your logo prints in one color on the carrying case.

Stainless Steel Reusable Drinking Straw

These metal, reusable drinking straws are made of food safe 18/8 stainless steel making it lightweight but still durable. Straws come with a cleaning brush and optional jute bag. Straw is available in 6 colors and you can print your logo or message in the gift packaging.



In fact, here's a video with more information on these reusable straws that I filmed at a recent promotional products show.

If you have any questions on these reusable straws or other unique promotional product ideas, please give me a call at 847-398-5500 or dona.blunt@newportpros.com.
