bamboo straws

Woody plant tubes

Bamboo straws are drinking straws made from bamboo stalks, used as reusable alternatives to plastic straws.

They're typically hollow sections of bamboo cut to straw length and smoothed: The café switched to bamboo straws last year.

Like metal and paper straws, they emerged from environmental concerns about single-use plastics.
