Lepironia articulata grass growing wild in the Mekong delta in Vietnam has a rigid structure and therefore it is an excellent raw material for straw production.

The grass is harvested, washed and cut into ca.20 cm long tubes. The inside of the tube is cleaned and the tubes are washed again in salt water. Afterwards they are left in the sun for 2 to 3 days and next oven-dried in high temperature.

Grass straws are harvested and processed naturally with no chemicals, are not treated with any chemical products or preservatives.

These are intended for single-use at restaurants, bars and events. As individuals, we encourage you to reuse them. Rinse, dab with a clean towel or leave out to dry slightly.

Grass straws decompose naturally, helping to protect the environment. You can put them into compost or organic waste bins.

Straws are entire eco-friendly to people and the environment. They contribute to a change in lifestyle, thinking, and awareness in protecting our environment and planet.

The production of these straws does not affect the ecological balance. Our grass straws are hand-picked by local people living there. Work of these rural farmers rely on the Lepironia grass products they make as the main source of their income.
