A new style of eco-straw that can be rolled up and used
Straw 01 is a sheet straw that you make yourself by rolling one sheet around. After wrapping it to the desired thickness, fix it with a belt, enjoy the drink slowly, and when you finish drinking, spread the straw and wash it to use it again. It's a little strange, but it's an eco-friendly concept with a different concept that combines the basic functions of drinking deliciously, consideration for the environment, and the enjoyment of making.
The world that spreads from one straw
This is not an easy and convenient tool. I just want to drink something, but it takes time, effort, and a few tips. To be honest, there are few people who can make it immediately after getting it for the first time. However, like chopsticks, it can be used with a little skill acquisition, and it will surely open up a new world.
To reduce plastic waste
The material of Stroll 01 is plastic. Although it is a material that does not return to nature, the purpose is to reduce waste by using it over and over again, and to have it properly treated by having it used carefully with care. Taking advantage of the "goodness of plastic" in straws such as good taste and high durability, we would like to continuously face the plastic problem and reduce waste plastic. In recent years, the structure of "plastic = evil" has been created. Certainly, the problem of marine plastic pollution is serious. Not only visible floating dust, but also the reality of macroplastics and nanoplastics makes you want to turn your eyes away. On the other hand, it is hard to imagine a world that suddenly disappears, not to mention the achievements of plastics in modern civilization. In order to reduce the waste of plastics that are so closely related to daily life, it is not a realistically difficult method of "not using plastics at all", but first of all, reduce (reduce) or reuse (reuse). important. A 100% polypropylene plastic straw, which burns only water and carbon dioxide like paper, can be made with about half the weight of a paper straw, so theoretically if it is properly treated as burning dust after use. It emits only 1/2 of the CO2 emissions, which is actually good for the environment. The problem is that it does not return to nature, and its value is infinitely close to zero because it exists at a low price on the premise that it is disposable for mass production and mass consumption. Stroll 01 is also a proposal to take advantage of the good points of plastic and reduce plastic waste.
Ideas born from independent research
The trigger for the development was a free study that my daughter, who was in the third grade at the time, worked on during the summer vacation of 2019. After studying the history of straws and various materials with my daughter, examining the advantages and problems of existing straws, and devising and announcing a sheet-shaped straw that can be washed and used repeatedly, a school teacher said, "Dad, this. I received a word, "Isn't it possible to obtain a patent?", And then adult free research began.
I thought out the shape.
I thought out how to make the sheet a straw. With Straw 01, you can make a straight cylindrical straw from a single sheet with just both hands without using a stand. In addition, the structure allows the sheet to be wound spirally at the optimum angle, so if properly wound, liquid will not leak. In addition, the rolled straw can be fixed in one place where it will not be immersed in the mouthpiece or beverage, without using special fixing devices or tape, and it can be used smartly. (Patent pending Application number: Japanese Patent Application No. 2019-227741)
That comfort and durability
The unique characteristics of plastic, which are tasteless, odorless, light, durable, and supple, make it possible to drink deliciously for a long time. In addition, the structure does not sharpen the mouth no matter how it is rolled, so it is safe without damaging the mouth.
You can adjust the thickness of the straw.
The thickness of the straw 01 can be adjusted without changing the length of the straw. The taste of drinks changes depending on the thickness of the straw. Please enjoy with your favorite thickness.

With simple case (assembly)
A simple case is completed by cutting out the mount along the perforations and assembling it. The surface is waterproof. When putting it in the case, you can store it short by removing the straw belt and putting it in while loosening it.
4 colors
First of all, we have prepared 4 kinds of colors. Since the printed part of Stroll 01 is laminated and the cross section of the film is not printed, it is safe because the ink components do not seep into the liquid even if it is used for a long time.

For novelties etc. (for corporations)
If you make your own, you are free to design the straw. Not only the bold design when it is unfolded, but also the design where letters appear when it is rolled up. In addition, not only straws but also mounts can be designed in various ways. The mount also comes with a simple assembly case, so you can freely design the box. In addition, since all of these are made up of flat surfaces, it is not bulky, can be sandwiched between documents, and can be stored in a small space. One of the features is that it is easy to distribute, and we receive many inquiries as novelties. .. Since printing on the film surface is not possible, it is not possible to handle small lots such as name entry, and the number of lots will inevitably increase, but if you are interested, please feel free to contact us. (* We do not support individuals.)
First of all, STROLL_01 is not a concept that anyone can easily wind from the beginning. You may not be able to wind it well at first, but after a few exercises you will get the hang of it and you will surely be able to wind it well. It's like chopsticks, for example. You will be able to experience the new culture while remembering the difficulty of using chopsticks for the first time and the joy of being able to use them. Plastic straws, which used to be like air, are accompanied by the action of "rolling and making by yourself", which increases the feeling of use, strengthens the feelings, and makes you feel attached, over and over again. I want to use it. At the end, I regret to go to the trash can. How to deal with the new waste plastic problem that can be seen by using plastic carefully. It's a little difficult to experience such a new culture and way of thinking, but let's do our best to make straws.
How to wind the stroll
1. How to hold
After cleaning both hands, turn the seat over and spread it to your left with the belt on the back.
2. Start winding
With the belt part facing the back side, wind the right side of the seat so that it wraps around the inside of the left side.
3. Roll (while pulling)
With the image of winding the straw while stretching it as long as possible, pull the left hand (belt part) to the back side and the right hand to the front side and turn it counterclockwise with the right hand.
4. End of winding
If you continue to wind it by pulling it for a long time, the belt part that was facing the back gradually becomes perpendicular to the straw. If you adjust the thickness in that state, the winding is finished. Please adjust the length referring to the actual size illustration of the straw on the mount of the package.
5. Thread the belt (first time)
With your right hand holding the area around the hole in the belt after winding, pass the belt through the hole with your left hand.
Pass the belt through while firmly fixing the thickness with your right hand.
6. Thread the belt (second time)
After passing the belt, keep it fixed with your right hand and pass the belt again. Basically, it is fixed by passing it twice, but if you want to wind it thinner, you can pass it three times.
7. Completion
After making fine adjustments, it is complete. When you have finished using it, remove the belt and then wash it. When putting it in a simple case, remove the belt before putting it in.
