metal straws
Steel drinking tubes
Metal straws are reusable drinking straws made of stainless steel or other metals, marketed as an alternative to disposable plastic straws.
They emerged as a symbol of environmental consciousness in the late 2010s: She carries a metal straw in her purse.
The term sometimes appears dismissively in debates about individual versus systemic environmental action.
