How it all started<\/h3>\n

Since the beginning of our journey, we knew we wanted to create a brand of sustainable products that could really make a difference. We set out to find those products but we weren\u2019t sure where to begin. One day, after walking Diego\u2019s dog, Chili, on the beach, we were shocked to see the ridiculous amount of plastic waste that was lying around. It was uncanny. Plastic bottles, bags and the most annoying of them: plastic straws were everywhere. Eureka! We had to find a solution to the annoying little plastic straws as a starting point, that\u2019s where we would begin.<\/p>\n

After months of research, we found a young lady in central Bali called Wayan. Wayan and her soon-to-be husband, Gitok, had started experimenting with making Bamboo Straws<\/a>. Their final product was nice, but far from what we thought should be a minimum standard in terms of quality. We decided to team up with them and continue evolving the final product so we could achieve a straw that wasn\u2019t only sustainable, but that felt and looked incredibly premium and up to the highest standards possible.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

In 2018, while looking to expand our operations and production a bit more, we came across another beautiful couple, Srii and Budi, who shared our values of quality, fairness, and sustainability. Our connection was an instant match, and since the beginning, we felt like Srii and Budi understood perfectly what we wanted to do with Bali Boo.<\/p>\n

Nowadays, we are now proud to say that we have the\u00a0best bamboo straws in the market<\/strong><\/a>, and are confident enough to stand by that statement. We take great care in carefully choosing the bamboo we work with, and our selecting, cutting, polishing, cleaning, sorting and quality control processes are now meticulously thought out. Every day that passes we put ourselves to the test and we\u00a0always strive to perfect the processes even more so that we can always deliver the best product there can be.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QkpKB9wCgh0&t=1s”][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text margin_bottom=”50″ css=”.vc_custom_1558190830219{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n

C\u00f3mo hacer Pajitas de Bamb\u00fa –\u00a1El Estilo Bali Boo!<\/em><\/h3>\n

El bamb\u00fa es la planta m\u00e1s sostenible del planeta, puede crecer a una velocidad de hasta 1 metro (3 pies) por d\u00eda. No necesita irrigaci\u00f3n, alcanza la madurez en menos de un a\u00f1o y es naturalmente antibacteriano. \u00a1Eso es lo que llamamos una superplanta!<\/p>\n

En Bali Boo tenemos mucho cuidado al elegir solo los mejores materiales para nuestros productos. Es por eso que elegimos bamb\u00fa balin\u00e9s Buluh<\/em> para nuestras pajitas.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”10001330″ img_size=”300×300″ alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”10001329″ img_size=”300×300″ alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”10001333″ img_size=”300×300″ alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1558190862460{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Trabajamos con agricultores locales que cosechan el bamb\u00fa de la manera m\u00e1s sostenible y org\u00e1nica<\/strong> en los cauces de las monta\u00f1as del norte de Bali. No se usan ning\u00fan tipo de pesticidas ni qu\u00edmicos.<\/strong> Tambi\u00e9n nos aseguramos de cortar solo los tallos que necesitamos, permitiendo que la planta crezca fuerte para que pueda seguir cumpliendo su deber en el ecosistema.<\/p>\n

Una vez que se cortan los tallos, nuestro equipo los transforma en pajitas. Todo el proceso es completamente artesanal y sin el uso de ning\u00fan tipo de productos qu\u00edmicos o maquinaria pesada. El primer paso es secar los tallos adecuadamente bajo el sol. Esto hace que el bamb\u00fa obtenga ese hermoso brillo marr\u00f3n y lo endurece lo suficiente como para poder trabajar con ello.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”10001325″ img_size=”300×300″ alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”10001327″ img_size=”300×300″ alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1562845124970{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]We then cut them exactly to a length of 20cm (8 inches) using a traditional Balinese knife. We do this by hand so we can be sure the tips don\u2019t break or cut and are safe to sip from.\u00a0 Once they are cut to the perfect size, we sand them down to give them a smooth and clean finish, just how we like them.<\/p>\n

The last step is probably the most important. Once cut and polished, the bamboo straws are washed with water one by one and then boiled for 40 minutes in water with vinegar to help disinfect them completely. They are then dried under the hot Balinese sun for a couple of hours before we pack them in a clean and safe environment.<\/p>\n

As you can see, our work involves a lot of local Balinese people with whom we have a very close relationship and to whom we pay a fair price for their hard work. By purchasing our Bamboo Straws<\/a>\u00a0you are not only getting a unique and handmade set of products, but you are also helping a lot of people in Bali to continue working in their traditional crafts.<\/h6>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1558186911753{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n
