I’m not a fan of plastic straws, but some drinks just work so much better through a straw I’ve found. I hadn’t found a suitable alternative until I heard about glass straws which can come in there own carrying cases. VASO launched their range of premium glass straws in the UK at the start of the year. VASO’s range of premium glass straws offer consumers a reusable, sustainable and recyclable product (and packaging) that delivers a 100% pure taste as they are free from plastics, toxins, mineral oils and BPA. I love the idea that when you sip, you aren’t sucking up plastic nasties with your drink.
VASO straws are an extremely high quality product, engineered in Germany from toughened glass. They also have a range of bamboo travel cases that have been specifically designed for their straws. Further details are available on their web site: https://glassstraw.co.uk
Recent data suggests that millions of plastic straws are used daily which leads to billions of tonnes of plastic waste per year. This plastic waste finds its way in to our oceans and is creating an environmental impact. VASO’s mission is to help reduce this waste by providing you with a reusable, sustainable solution that is fully recyclable to help reduce plastic waste.The UK government’s legislation regarding the ban of single use plastic straws finally being passed in the commons which is to be enforced in October. Consumers are utilising their own reusable straws when dining / drinking out during the current pandemic to reduce contact points. The sustainable, reusable and eco-friendly market is seeing huge growth as the consumer awareness grows.
VASO and I have teamed up to offer one lucky reader the chance to win a mixed set pack and a case of each size. Enter via the Gleam widget below.

Nice prize , hopefully I might win this
It’s good to do a little bit to keep plastic out of the environment.
What a fantastic prize
Would love to try these to see how robust they are: I am not completely convinced that glass straws are green as it takes so much power to reach the temperatures required for glass blowing
Nice prize. As seems worthwhile to consider alternatives to what had been readily available ( yet detrimental to the enviroment. Unsustainable, etc).
What a brilliant prize
I am trying to become more eco-friendly and this would help me take another step along that pathway
Great giveaway – would love to try these
I love the idea of swapping the straws and sandwich wraps everyday. I’m all for helping the environment.
These look awesome! A great way to replace the flimsy plastic ones the kids chew to death lol!!
Great idea to reduce plastic use.
what a fabulous idea!
These look really cool. Much nicer than stainless steel ones
Lovely, count me in……
Love the concept , fingers crossed
these look amazing, i’ve never heard of glass straws before
These sound so much better than the paper straws so would be great to try them
My kids have been begging me to get these
Been meaning to buy some of these! Would be handy to have some in the drawer, I hate cardboard but understand why plastic is evil so reusable ones would be great!
Straws at it’s finest, environmentally friendly, antibacterial, and unusually fashionable . Would love them
