The business already:
- Supply 50+ businesses across 12 countries
- Have saved 500,000+ straws from landfill
- Operate in a rapidly growing market (worth $9B USD by 2025)
- Have headline customers such as Curzon Cinemas and Richard Branson’s Necker Island
- Are a 100% carbon-neutral business
- Help fund Kenyan reforestation projects
Why Now:
Disposable straws are out. Consumers and governments around the world are demanding that the hospitality industry reduce waste.
81% of consumers feel strongly that companies should help the environment while 73% are already changing their consumption habits to reflect this.
The Current Options for Bars & Restaurants:
Plastic Straws are being banned. Paper straws go soggy, ruining the drink and experience. ‘Bio’ is deceptive as it won’t actually break down in landfill or the ocean. Single-use straws continue to exhaust out natural resources.
Venues that are failing to adapt will lose customers.
Benefits to the venue of using SuckerStraws instead:
- Increased footfall: Sustainability boosts demand and gets customers talking.
- Improved pricing power: upgrades drinks and differentiates their offering.
- Sustainability and cost-savings: reusable like cutlery, stops endless waste, and saves the business money.
