Regarding our products, we rely heavily on the hand-made because we strongly believe in this method of manufacturing that allows the creation of “unique” objects.
Quick presentation
The manufacturing of our bamboo straws is made by hand by a village’s association eager to reduce the proliferation of plastic wastes that gangrene their country. Every step is important and everyone has its role in order to obtain perfect results.
The steps
- Selection and harvest of bamboo stems according to their diameters
- Routing to the village
- Cutting with a sickle using a mold to keep the same lengths of straws
- Hand sanding of each straw
- Sanding both tops
- Cutting to make a perfect hole at both tops
- Manual cleaning inside and outside of each straw
- Drying at the sun
- Sorting straws according to their diameters
- Hand engraving for straws that need it
