SANTA ROSA BEACH, Fla., Jan. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Stylish and durable, lastrå introduces its sleek, compact, food-grade stainless steel straw sets at the Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings Market, AmericasMart, on January 8-15, 2019. The incomparably-designed reusable straw set and straw accessory manufacturer is among the juried On Trend Gift group in Building 3, at Booth 2412.
Lastrå's purse-, pocket- and backpack-sized stainless-steel straw sets are permanent alternatives to the disposable plastic straw conundrum. Lastrå sets will reduce the approximate 102 (average) billion plastic straws used annually. Plastic straw bans already exist in towns, cities and counties nationwide and are under consideration by entire states. Such Fortune 500 corporations as Disney, American Airlines, McDonald's and Starbucks are also banning the destructive plastic suckers. The forever-straw revolution has arrived and lastrå's chic, soft-edged, customizable and collectable alternatives to single-use disposable straws are the most beautifully designed and packaged sets on the market today.
Except for nylon bristles on the cleaning brush, there is no plastic in lastrå's construction. Additionally, lastrå's elegant, fanciful designs are easily accessorized with tele-scoping rings for tall drinks and clips for easy bag and garment access. The ability to mix-'n'-match lastrå's straw sets makes them highly collectible. Function + convenience + panache = the smartest planet-friendly drink accessory anyone will need, ever again.
Founder, environmentalist and avid surfer, Arix Zalace is not new to product development. He invented Turtle Safe, flashlight filters that protect nesting and hatchling sea turtles from inquisitive nighttime beachcombers. Motivated to disrupt the way we use straws, he says, "It's devastating to see footage of a plastic straw being removed from a sea turtle's airway."
The initial summer launch of lastrå straw sets sold out in retail locations in beachside communities along Northwest Florida's Emerald Coast, including at organic juice bar and lifestyle store Raw & Juicy and organic coffee roaster, Amavida.
The future is not disposable; live the lastrå life and eliminate plastic straws from the world's waterways and landfills.
