Find out more about the quality of our HALM drinking straws here.

HALM glass straws are made of the highest quality and purest special glass that our own expert and experienced team in Germany manufactures and produces.

Our high-quality and pure glass is based on the production of thermometer glass, as this is produced under conditions of the highest precision for longevity. This means that a HALM drinking straw also has higher stability than other glass straws and can be exposed to extreme usage.

The actual shape of the HALM straw is complemented by the rounded mouthpiece that is created when both sides are melted. This contributes to the unique drinking experience you have, only when using HALM Straws. In the last step in the production of a HALM straw, the glass is stabilised at high temperatures, removing the remaining tension. The energy used to heat our ovens in the production of HALM Straws is drawn from renewable energy from solar power. 

The difference may not be visible in comparison to other cheaper glass straws on the market from the far east, however, you will find many others miss the last step and don't correctly de-stress the glass, nor do they have consistent melted mouthpieces. Like other glass straw retailers, the type of glass used is made from Borosilicate glass, which contains boron oxide and is often mixed with other types of glass in poor manufacturing processes, causing glass impurities which in turn cause them to break more easily compared to HALM Glass straws. These factors greatly reduce the quality of glass straws. With HALM glass straws, you are guaranteed the best quality and purest glass that doesn't contain other elements that could potentially harm the environment or your health. 

HALM glass is part of a circular economy, unlike borosilicate glass, it can be recycled without any loss in the quality of the glass itself. Borosilicate glass ends up in the garbage dump or when put in glass recycling does not melt and cannot be recycled, therefore not very sustainable and is even harmful to the environment.

Find out more about why all glass is not the same quality here.

All HALM glass straws have an inner diameter of 6 mm. The outside of the HALM is smaller than an inch (9mm) to create a perfect mouthfeel when drinking your favorite smoothies or cocktails.

These dimensions are no coincidence. Our innovation has the perfect ratio of inner and outer diameter to provide the strongest glass drinking straw with a haptic design for a smooth mouthfeel, that ensures a pleasant and safe drinking experience.

HALM Straws are offered in a large range of different lengths so that you can find a suitable size for each of your drinking glasses. Here is an overview of our collections with every variation of straw you can imagine.

Almost every one of our sets comes with a handy and plastic-free Cleaning brush included, suitable for the respective HALM straws. Only our sets with individual name engraving come without a brush, as they are intended as place cards or guest gifts and are therefore distributed individually. Therefore, a cleaning brush per set is not necessary.

At home, our straws are placed in the cutlery basket of the Dishwasher completely wonderfully clean. If a drink was particularly stubborn, our cleaning brush helps you get a crystal-clear drinking straw again. Here we recommend working with water and dish soap, as this makes it easier to pull the brush out of the HALM and prevents it from bending quickly. We have already received feedback that trimming the brushes makes cleaning extremely easy. This is particularly suitable for on the go. This way, you can quickly clean your HALM with some water and thanks to your Tasche for safe storage on the go.

Our HALM glass drinking straws come to you cleaned and polished in any case. Accordingly, you do not need to clean them before use. first use do not clean.

We take our footprint on this earth very seriously and sustainability is at the core of our values.

Our cleaning brushes are therefore made from Natural bristles and are more environmentally friendly than the usual polyester/plastic cleanijg brushes for straws. No animals are harmed either in procurement or in production. The fibers used come exclusively from a shearing process that does not affect the well-being of the animals.

We have made it our mission to ensure the best cleaning for our Glass Straws and to use only natural and, above all, plastic-free fibers.

So far we've tried and tested many other materials in close collaboration with our product team and our current natural bristle brushes are functional and sustainable. However, we are constantly striving to improve our products to meet the needs of our customers. Therefore, we are still looking for a sustainable and vegan alternative to our current brushes that can equally clean and remain whole.

Glass straws from HALM are 100% manufactured, produced and shipped from Germany. We use the highest quality pure glass from our own manufacturing plant and can therefore guarantee the most environmentally friendly supply chain. Our production team has over 60 years of experience in the glass industry and thanks to decades of experience and innovation we create exceptionally strong and safe glass tubes. We fairly produce and operate the majority of energy for production with solar-powered energy. 

Not only do we produce our glass in Germany, we also have a sound fulfilment processes in Germany under a fair and supportive working conditions. Our long-term, trusted partners at  'Lebenshilfwerk' supports safe jobs for people with disabilities for an inclusive workplace. Their important work goes hand-in-hand as they support us with our second-tier logistics. Our in-house production and logistics team, based in Berlin, offer expert service for product design and shipment directly to customers.  Our expert team guarantees a consistent and personal ordering and delivery process. 

HALM glass straws are produced in our own manufacturing plant, where the glass mixture is melted and stretched in a furnace. After the glass takes its shape into tubular structures, we typically cut the glass to length and a special melting processeson each end of the straws are completed to ensure each mouthpiece is rounded perfectly. At HALM, we ensure a consistently smooth mouthpiece on each straw to ensure the best mouthfeel for your drinking experience. Lastly, we remove any tension from the glass by heating them again in an oven at extremely high temperatures. This ensures the glass is the most strong and contributes to the best resistance HALM straws offers.

We use energy from renewable sources like solar electricity. Our production team ensure that all glass straws from HALM pass our multiple quality assurance controls,therefore guaranteeing a top quality product every-time. Each set of HALM straws are delivered in perfect condition and will last you a lifetime!

Glass straws are safe for all ages, including children. It is important that the glass straws are made of good quality glass and do not have any imperfections. Glass straws from HALM are guaranteed to offer the highest quality and strongest glass. Unlike other cheaper manufacturers, HALM ensures the best and safest drinking experience. We recommend using glass straws for children from 3 years old, like when they are old enough to drink from a glass drinking cup. We do recommend under parental supervision and ensure the straws remain inside the cup. 

Glass straws are a great option as they do not contain any chemical toxins like plastic straws do. Kids tend to like chewing on plastic or paper straws and this can cause BPA and toxic residues to be absorbed by the body. With glass straws, children will not have the urge to chew on the straw, because it is hard, just liked drinking cups made of glass, which they also don't bite on. At HALM, we guarantee that the glass does not chip, break or splitter if the glass is bitten on. We have tested the resistance in this case and HALM straws have been proven to withstand the bite of a lions jaw. Now thats strong! 

Not only are glass straws safe for children, at HALM we have designed shorter lengths, with bends and even with cool engraved figures like dinosaurs, sea life and wild animals. Check our our glass straws suitable for children on our online shop here.

Glass straws from HALM are resistant against both hot and cold temperatures and can withstand temperatures of -40C to + 200C°C. Easily enjoy your hot drinks, like hot chocolates or iced-cold drinks like cocktails with crushed ice or iced coffee. 

At HALM we use the best quality glass, which does not easily absorb heat. The glass wall thickness also ensures less heat is absorbed, therefore lowering the temperature that touches your lips when drinking.

We recommend a few things to ensure your glass straws last a lifetime! When using your glass straws for your drinks, be sure to always keep them in the drinking glass or mug. You can safely use your straw as a stirrer and inside your drinking glass and it will remain intact. We do not recommend to leave the straws on a flat surface where they could potentially roll off and drop to a hard surface. After use, place them directly in the dishwasher basket where your cutlery goes for cleaning, or, give them a quick rinse clean with the cleaning brush and dishwashing liquid under warm water and leave to dry upright. 

When you are not using your glass straws, we recommend to store them in a safe place like your utensils drawer or a container. 

Glass straws from HALM are break resistant and will withstand most drops and accidentally bumps. We know however, sometimes accidents can happen and the straws may drop onto a hard surface that may cause them to break. In this case, like any glass breakage, ensure everyone is safe and place the glass pieces into the glass recycling bin.

When you think of straws, the impractical, ugly disposable plastic straws probably come to mind first. They are not only ugly but also environmentally harmful.
Daily, worldwide 3 billionPlastic straws are used and usually thrown away after just a few minutes. In contrast to plastic bags or coffee-to-go cups, there is much less awareness in Germany about the damage plastic straws cause to our environment. However, in Germany alone, every year 40 billion Single-use plastic straws consumed. Per capita, that is 1.3 plastic straws daily. They are relatively small and weigh only a few grams – How much plastic is that already?

The life of a plastic straw, however, does not end once it is disposed of by the user. It can take up to 500 years pass. Because contrary to common belief, plastic straws can be passed due to their size not recycled Plastic straws disrupt the recycling process, clog machines, and can even destroy them. They are therefore not recycled but end up in landfills and waste incineration plants.

Due to current (missing) disposal routes, the single-use straw often ends up in our waters, where it causes indescribable damage. Every 7th item At beaches and rivers, there is a plastic straw. That is why the EU has decided to ban certain plastic and styrofoam items since July 3, 2021 to prohibit - this also includes the plastic straw. More about the single-use plastic ban hier.

Not all glass can be recycled. It is important to take into consideration the quality of glass when purchasing, not only because higher quality glass lasts longer, but in case of breakage, it can be recycled. Glass straws from HALM are 100% recyclable and operate in a circular economy. That means, when the glass is disposed of in the glass recycling container, it will be melted down and will maintain its quality, therefore making it possible to reuse the glass for other glass objects in the future. 

Glass straws from cheaper manufacturers are likely not recyclable because they use low-quality glass, either made from borosilicate glass or a mix of unknown different types of glass where it can no longer be properly melted and recycled in the standard recycling processes at local waste management facilities.
