Local Students Give Away 1/4 Million Paper Straws… And Counting

Boca Raton, FL – When three college neighbors turned friends in Boca Raton, Florida, they soon came to the realization that their coastal community was facing a BIG problem – plastic pollution. No matter where they went, everyone from local beach goers to restaurant owners began to shine a light on the pressing problem at hand – people want to work together to build a truly sustainable future, but it comes at a cost. The sustainable alternatives entering the market were either too expensive or of very poor quality. With this in mind, StrawFish partnered with Rhino Paper Straws™ based out of South Florida to provide the best quality paper straw on the market hands down! As the StrawFish team saw this problem affecting the people closest to them, they knew a solution was needed in order to bring real passion and purpose behind the vision of a sustainable future.

StrawFish gives away ultra-premium Rhino paper straws™ for FREE. These long lasting, gluten-free paper straws are given to restaurants, hotels, and businesses to aid in the transition to sustainable alternatives. This is done by partnering with businesses of all sorts to advertise on the straw itself with FDA-Approved water-based ink.

Not only does this help to create a sustainable future for our environment, it allows businesses to show they are committed to sustainability while accessing a captive audience during their dining experience with a 100% interaction rate.

To date, they have given away a quarter of a million paper straws and counting to a variety of local restaurants and well-known South Florida chains.

“It would be amazing to inspire local businesses to continue committing to sustainability” says Kyle Lansing, chief executive officer of StrawFish. “We want to help these establishments pledge their commitment to the environment through our effective advertising platform.”

“Our promise is to be more than just another paper straw company,” says Aaron Kleinert, chief operating officer of StrawFish, “For as long as we can, we pledge to provide FREE paper straws to businesses.”

Taking a holistic approach to sustainability means you can find StrawFish out in the local community organizing beach cleanups, educating people on single-use plastic pollution and bans, and fighting to keep legislation rooted in a greener & cleaner future.
