However, there is Klean Kanteen, which makes a 16-oz Insulated Tumbler that comes with a stainless-steel reusable straw and a silicone Straw Lid. For a start, the coloured glass makes them look super chic, so they’d be great for a party (adults only though – glass straws at a children’s party is, of course, not a good idea).

While 316L medical grade stainless steel straws are generally more costly, there is less of a chance of the straw wearing over time.This is another advantage metal straws have over plastic straws, as plastic leaching can cause harmful toxins and chemicals — such as Bisphenol A (BPA) — to leach into your food and drink (especially if the plastic gets heated up). The case is made from rust-proof aluminium, comes in a range of cool colours and has a keyring so you can attach it to your keys or bag, (hopefully) meaning you’ll never forget it. The sulfur and fatty acids in certain foods and drinks could have an effect on the stainless steel over time. You can find other alternatives to single-use plastic straws, which are better for the environment because they can be composted, but are still one-use as they deteriorate quickly.

And when you’re done, the cleaning brush means you can give it a thorough scrub and re-use it time and again. If you find a variety that's dishwasher safe and can be recycled at the end of its life, then we think it’s one of the best choices.

Straws make up around 4 percent of the plastic pollution worldwide but have garnered so much attention this past year because of a social awareness campaign advocating for wildlife. Metal straws won’t break if you drop them and they don’t bend easily, so you don’t have to worry about cutting your lip or mouth on a jagged or sharp piece of the straw. As we become increasingly aware of the detrimental effects of single-use plastic on the environment, we're always looking for ways to cut down. For a straw to be truly sustainable, it should not only be made as sustainability as possible in the first place, but should also be able to be recycled or composted at the end of its life. Plus, although many metal straws come with cleaning brushes and some are dishwasher safe, it's harder to tell if they are cleaner than a glass or clear plastic straw.
