Born from their devotion to the ocean and eagerness to address plastic pollution, theotherstraw launched in 2018. With 8 million tons of plastic being dumped into our oceans every year, our marine life is swallowing more plastic than ever before.
theotherstraw is here to uphold the beautiful, clean Australia and turn the tide on plastic pollution, helping to protect our beautiful oceans and natural environments.
Since their launch, they’ve kept millions of single-use plastic straws out of our landfills and oceans. Looking to building on their impact theotherstraw is looking to develop ‘theotheressentials’ range.
Jamie and Len, the founders and couple behind theotherstraw want to build awareness on the amount of single-use plastic currently used and believe ‘theotheressentials’ range will reduce single-use plastics entering our natural environments and oceans by equipping businesses and individuals with sustainable, reusable alternatives.
By supporting theotherstraw, you’re helping reduce plastic pollution as well as empowering Vietnamese communities. They work alongside local ethnic minority groups in Northern Vietnam to design, grow and harvest their bamboo straws. They work to improve the livelihoods and well-being for themselves through support and sustainable job creation.
