Drinking Straws

We are all committing to a greener future in many ways, but for the hospitality industry, one of the best ways to fight plastic pollution is to adopt the use of paper straws and compostable straws. When these straws eventually disintegrate, they nourish the land, unlike their plastic counterparts, which break down in to micro plastics which say in the atmosphere indefinitely. Compostable straws are particularly good at this because they feel just like plastic straws, but can actually biodegrade within a matter of months, which is great for the environment!

At Smart, we are continually adding to our range of compostable straws and paper straws to make it easier for our clients to source their eco friendly straws whilst still having the large range of styles previously available. Why not check out our range of environmentally friendly disposable cups the would go perfectly with these straws?

Along with our continually expanding range, we are committed to offering our customers the best support. We do this by assisting them with orders, helping them to pick the most suitable products for their needs and often guiding them on branding points. On top of this, we offer unbeatable prices by continually cross checking our prices with competitors.

This variety ensures that establishments can select the most appropriate straw for their specific beverage offerings and environmental considerations.

Drinking straws can significantly enhance the customer experience by adding both functionality and style to beverage service. Here’s how:

Convenience: Straws make it easier for customers to enjoy drinks, especially in tall glasses, without spilling. They also provide a cleaner drinking experience, preventing lipstick stains or drink smudges.

Hygiene: Disposable or individually wrapped straws offer a hygienic option, ensuring that customers feel confident in the cleanliness of their drinks, particularly in public settings.

Customisation: Offering a variety of straws—such as eco-friendly, colourful, or branded options—can create a more personalised experience. This can reflect the venue’s theme or brand and enhance the overall atmosphere.

Eco-Friendly Options: By offering sustainable straws like paper, bamboo, or reusable stainless steel, businesses can cater to environmentally conscious customers, enhancing their satisfaction by aligning with their values.

Aesthetic Appeal: Unique or custom-designed straws can add an extra touch to cocktails, smoothies, and other drinks, making the presentation more visually appealing and enhancing the overall drinking experience.

Fun and Engagement: Straws, especially bendy or novelty types, can create a playful and engaging element, especially for themed events or family-friendly venues, improving customer enjoyment.

Incorporating the right type of straw into your service can elevate the drink experience, making customers feel valued and cared for.
