The reusable smart straw alternative to plastic 🥤

2 followers

The elo smart straw was created to drive awareness to reusable straw alternatives. ELO stands for the earth land and ocean. As an entrepreneur I want to do my best. I created elo from aluminum anodized metal. I created an app that will educate and break the habit of straw use and will with the support of community make elo a message for change!

I really don't want to be negative here, but why is this logo is a copy of a credit card company in Brazil?(https://www.cartaoelo.com.br/) Really weird for me, unless there is a connection.. which I think there isn't.

@guiiipontes Hello, thank you for linking that to me! I have received from some people that they thought it was elo the band. As I cannot do a full branding global search. That is quite interesting to see! Sadly though I am not affiliated or knew of this in Brasil! Cheers..

If you search for "elo" on google images you can do a "full branding global search". Recommend you to replace it to not have problems with trademarks in the future.

@guiiipontes It's not just a coincidence that it looks kind of similar... it's more like an actual copy as paste...

I'm really struggling with this. We now need kickstarter campaigns and apps to launch metal straws? My kids have been using copper straws for the last six years, we just picked them up at a local store.

@andreasduess you sir are way ahead of the curve! Alternatives would be awesome if we approached the idea of our own straws. Sadly this does require some call to action! Straws are a bad habit. But absolute abstinence is way out of scope. Cheers

I like the idea coz it helps to reduce the use of straw. But how can we keep them clean when I want to use it?

@alex_yuan comes with a cleaning brush. Warm water. Very simple. Dishwasher safe!

I'm slightly confused about what makes this different from the metal reusable straws sold on Amazon, at Starbucks, etc.? Aside from being a bit cheaper than buying these at a store, the straw looks like something that could be purchased on Wish.com or Aliexpress for even cheaper. Where are you manufacturing them?

@askdaylen Hi! The elo straw and app will be just one of those metal straws on Amazon after the KS campaign! There are metal straws all over the net! elo was created to be branded to raise awareness about alternatives. The media has been putting a lot of focus on abstinence (no straws) paper straws and the plastic scourge created by quick serve restaurants and their role in the mess that is plastic single use straws. It is my belief that we can change habits and refuse and reuse straws that can be in your home, work and bag! I most definitely did not think I would be carrying a 3 by 5 inch smartphone in my pocket! A starw is just like a pen in a bag! So that is the intent to change our habits!

Straws are not the problem. Plastic is the problem. Putting a reusable straw in your single-use plastic cup is doing nothing to improve the problem with plastics.

@magnuson Hey, The idea when making the video with plastic cups was to show that the straw and the overall straw bans occurring around the world, started with the straw and that we have a ways to go to removing or replacing single plastic products from the fast serve marketplace. ELO is my first product launch from the company Elo Labs, which will look at other disruptive products that would affront plastic items like cups. But we are just starting and yes plastic cups will be in market but look how far the straw ban has come! Up next cups and lids! Cheers,

@magnuson plastics are a problem, yes, but straws are a different type of problem because they simply fall off of the sorting machines at recycling plants.
