With a Little Practice and Skill, You'll Master Rolling and Enjoy Your Drinks Even More.

ARIGATO GIVING focuses on ethical, social, and organic products. Their online shop offers items perfect for both gifts and personal use.
Newly introduced is "Strawl 01," a straw designed for repeated rolling and use. Made from plastic, its purpose is to reduce unnecessary waste through repeated use and to be handled with care and affection, ensuring proper disposal.
However, ARIGATO GIVING states that this is not simply a convenient tool. It requires time, effort, and a bit of skill. Just like chopsticks, with a little acquired technique, you can master rolling it and enjoy your drinks more deliciously.
The material used is polypropylene, which, when incinerated, breaks down into only water and carbon dioxide, similar to paper. Because it can be made with about half the weight of paper straws, theoretically, if properly disposed of as combustible waste after use, CO2 emissions would be halved. The issue, however, is that plastic itself does not decompose naturally, and its value is nearly zero because it exists cheaply with the premise of mass production and disposable consumption.
"Strawl 01" is also a proposal to reduce plastic waste, leveraging the advantages of plastic for straws, such as a pleasant mouthfeel, being odorless and tasteless, and its durability.
These are not the only features of "Strawl 01." The diameter can be adjusted without changing the straw's length, depending on the type of drink. After use, it can be opened, washed, and dried for hygienic use. Four colors are available.
"Strawl 01" is a straw that fosters affection through the act of "rolling and creating it yourself." It proposes a new way of interacting with plastic, revealed by cherishing its use.
