Clean Bamboo Water Straws is a type of straws that can reduce bacteria in your drinking water. Drinking clean water Anytime, Anywhere with Clean Bamboo water Straws.
In most parts of the world where you may find yourself, you don’t have to worry too much about drinking water from the tap or being served with your drink, but Southeast Asia is. In Cambodia, some street food stores or some normal class of restaurants, water straws is a common thing that being serve every time and everywhere. However nobody noticed that it was recycled most of the time. Exactly, the sellers do this, just because they want to spend less and gain more income, they never think of other's health. Actually, people already knew about it, but they have no choice. To drink water with those recycled water straws is better than drink directly with the glass or cup, they said.
Furthermore, Tea or some water that provide freely on the table in some street food stores is another common thing that people careless about. They never care about where those sellers take the water from and they never care whether it already cleaned or boiled. This happened long time ago until now. After drink those kinds of water, they actually feel nothing at a moment but it will hurt and destroy their health in the near future. So to prevent or to stop this problem we would like to invent one innovation called "Clean Bamboo Water Straws'' for our people to have their own personal water straws. It make from Bamboo and having bacteria removing system or water filter inside. People can carry it every time and everywhere they want.
However, the reason that we make it by bamboo because Each straw is good for up to 30 uses and will biodegrade naturally when thrown away. This greatly reduces our environmental footprint as more than 500 million plastic straws are thrown away every day.
The recycled water straws is a common thing that being serve every time and everywhere. However, to stop this by law or in the normal way such as teaching them about its effectiveness is still not a crucial solution because those plastic water straws will be thrown away like the trashes and it will bring another problems to the world. On the other hand, people never care about where those sellers take the water from and they never care whether it already cleaned or boiled. So, it will make more various kinds of diseases in the near future.
According to our outside business research, our solution will be able to solve this problem. Since our people have no choice to use beside those plastic water straws, then they will be glad to have our products as their personal water straws. However, we also have a partner to make Bamboo Water straw, they are NGO-Green Umbrella. So we will just design to add more water filter inside through our prototype. As we have natural resources, human resources, and technical then we believe that our proposal will tackle this problem smoothly.
