Hi there! If you’re reading this, you probably care about our planet as much as we do! Our goal at Roc Paper Straws is to help people who choose to use straws do it more responsibly with our eco-friendly paper straws.

We are a small family business with big ambitions. By purchasing our straws, you are helping us fulfill our mission of reducing the use of single-use plastics! We know that one tiny little straw doesn’t seem like a big deal, until you realize that, on average, 500 million straws are used and disposed of in the United States every single day. That’s enough to fill 125 school buses!

Imagine what that looks like. That’s more than 46,000 busloads every single year! By working together, we can help lower these numbers, one single straw at a time.

So, from us to you — we thank you! The fishes and turtles thank you. Mother Earth thanks you. And your family, friends, and future generations will thank you. Cheers!
