Glass Is the Best Option

In our search for eco-friendly alternatives to plastic straws, we tried out and compared many other options such as bamboo, stainless steel and silicone. Our clear choice was glass. Because only glass is reusable, sustainable, hygienic, easy to clean and timelessly stylish all at once.

How It All Began

The idea behind HALM began at a beach cleanup in Thailand in 2016. Our founders Hannah Cheney and Sebastian Müller wanted to take action against the flood of plastic and the millions of plastic straws that are used and thrown away every day.
