Project Brief

One Series Straws is hygienic, reusable and durable which made from food-safe TPE and PP plastic. It can be opened in seconds for cleaning, so people can see exactly what’s inside the straw, preventing the growth of mold and bacteria and no more residue inside. It is also dishwasher safe and heat-resistant up to 100°C.
One Pair Straw is the best choice for hotels, restaurants, and cafes and One Roll Straw is a perfect choice for personal use.

Project Innovation/Need

One Series Straws is easy to clean, lightweight, eco-friendly, long-lasting and trendy. People can see exactly what’s inside the straw, solving the problems of traditional stainless-steel, bamboo and silicone straws.
With a rollable and separable design, no more cleaning tools are required for cleaning the reusable straw.

Design Challenge

Our team has been working on the design of One Series Straw for more than 2 years. We produced a lot of prototypes and 3D models for refining the design.
We have taken care of every detail in order to keep the design in the highest quality standard with the best user experience.

Sustainability

Facing the environmental problems generated by the use of one-time plastic straws, it is time to stop using the disposable straws and to change our lifestyle.
We hope to encourage more and more people, cafés, restaurants, and hotels to reduce the use and distribute of disposable plastic straws and switch to One Roll / Pair Straw, protecting our planet.
