Australia has made some steady progress towards banning single use plastic straws in retail and hospitality outlets. Plastic straws are still offered and freely available at fast food locations and on the whole the average consumer continues to be comfortable using plastic straws. But awareness is growing and the trending growth of reusable metal straws and silicone straws supports this.
“Zero waste is not about complicating your life, but simplifying it. We were drowning in stuff, and I was tired of marketeers, that I had to put a stop to it. So the first step to zero waste is refusing what you don’t need. You need to learn to say no.”
"Minimalism isn't about deprivation. I still buy that expensive Burberry trench coat that costs thousands of pounds because it's great-looking and great value... But I am more conscious of how I spend because I want to be free of physical, emotional and financial clutter. I'm paying attention to the ethos of buying products that are environmentally-friendly and made with fair trade practices. I'm careful about my purchases."

Our Story in 100 words or less
I came to the zero-waste and plastic-free space after working through lots of personal development. It was a natural progression to see how unhealthy foods impact on my family's health - and how an active outdoor life is the way to go.
So we sold our gourmet food and wine business and began exploring our options in the health and wellness space. I trained in life coaching and meditation and was hosting mindfulness walks around national parks - but then stainlesssteelstraws.com.au came along. We haven't looked back!
