Stoping sucking, start SuckIN!

"My love story for the environment started in high school when I became aware of the garbage patch in the Pacific Ocean. I worked multiple jobs, switched cities before quitting my job as a footwear designer and moved back to Mumbai to bring about environmental change. While working with an imminent BMC Corporator on encouraging a plastic free lifestyle, we were horrified to find out that plastic straws were used by an individual for approximately 20 minutes before landing up in trash where they take 200+ years to degrade and there weren’t any real alternatives. That’s when I realized that reusable straws could potentially be a great solution and I called up Suraj for his in-depth knowledge, experience and expertise in the steel and machinery industry. Suraj, hailing from Kerala was aware of the 3.3 million plastic straws being disposed daily from the state so jumped at the opportunity of doing his bit for the planet and future generations to come.

Together, we worked tirelessly on prototypes, testing, getting feedback at various restaurants and are now selling eco-friendly SuckIN bamboo and steel straws to over 10000 individuals and 65+ restaurants pan India reducing the dependency on single-use disposable plastic straws completely. Our sustainably grown bamboo can be used 20 times roughly before being tossed into your wet waste and our food-grade stainless steel straws can be used for a lifetime.

We aim to replace every plastic straw with an eco-friendly one so as to have a cleaner and greener planet."
