You may have noticed that many cafés and bars are no longer giving out plastic straws, with most turning to paper instead.
However, if you're looking for something a little more permanent, this metal straw could be the thing for you.
The FinalStraw (we know, genius!) is a metal, fold-up straw that's BPA free, dishwasher safe and fits into a tidy box you can keep on your keys.
The mission of the company is to “reduce plastic straw use by giving people a convenient, collapsible, reusable alternative”.Reduce waste with this collapsible, reusable straw ?? pic.twitter.com/ZavDqYzgUr

Great initiative if you’re looking for plastic free alternatives... fits on your key ring, comes with its own cleaner and sooo much better for the environment!!! Worth checking out it’s called finalstraw on https://t.co/KTmSDgPmZI ? https://t.co/HToyNGxcKL

Man, at first I thought “why would I buy this?” Then I realised we’ve basically killed the planet with plastic straws so this is an ethical purchase. https://t.co/Khmpy2VW1Z
