ABOUT US
Our Story
At Holy City Straw Company, we take the guesswork out of sustainability.
Petroleum-based plastic / bioplastic straws and cutlery are polluting our oceans, disrupting our ecosystems, impacting human health and contributing to the overall demise of our planet.
Our Company was formed in 2019 to solve the challenge facing both businesses and consumers in today’s environmentally conscious world and evolving circular economy. Our goal was to identify, produce, and distribute a 100% plant-based and cost effective alternative without sacrificing the user experience!
Our solution…drinking straws made from natural wheat and reed plant stems and cutlery made from bamboo!
Nature saves the day once again!
▲Simple ▲Sophisticated ▲Sustainable
OUR MISSION
We are dedicated to saving the planet one “earth” straw at a time. One small step today, collectively, can lead to a transformational Planet tomorrow!
One straw, One step, One planet.
OUR VISION
Holy City Straw Company aims to become the leading and trusted supplier of sustainable drinking straws and cutlery globally. We strive to support, educate, and inspire consumers looking to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle and eco-conscience businesses and organizations seeking to reduce their carbon footprint in the new circular economy.
THE PROBLEM
Explosion of microplastics entering the environment and ultimately impacting our food supply and health.
Excessive carbon footprint left from the plastic life cycle during production and disposal is accelerating climate change.
Current straw providers fail to address the problem of microplastics, excessive carbon footprint and downstream waste as their straws are manufactured.
OUR SOLUTION
Our line of Earth straws are one of the only non-manufactured, 100% biodegradable, and 100% bio-based straws on the market today. Mother Earth is our machine.
Our straws require minimal carbon usage during the beginning and end-of-life cycle. They come straight from nature and, when disposed, will naturally return to the Earth all while eliminating downstream waste!
OUR STRAWS
We offer a collection of zero-waste straws that are never manufactured, 100% biodegradable and 100% bio-based.
Our wheat and reed stem straws are sustainable and renewable during each harvest and unlike other straw alternatives, our straws require minimal carbon usage during the beginning and end of life cycle and never contribute to downstream waste.
Mother Earth herself is our machine! No dyes, glues, waxes, additives, bioplastics or polymers necessary.
Simpler is just better!
