Since the inception of Beysis, we’ve been committed to reducing our carbon footprint and living a life that is as plastic-free as possible. The single-use plastic ban in South Australia is a milestone we’ve welcomed with open arms. And as a small business, we have the corporate social responsibility to educate our customers about the harm single-use plastics bring to the earth.
The ban on single-use plastics in South Australia couldn’t have come at a better time for the launch of our glass straws. They’ve just landed online and an ideal alternative to plastic straws. You’ve probably used stainless steel straws, bamboo straws and paper straws, but we’ve taken things one step further and developed a product that takes the cake (just ask us). The Beysis glass straw is made of high-strength borosilicate glass, a material so sturdy and reliable its used for test tubes in science labs. It’s tasteless, looks stylish and a fun way to sip whatever drink you’re loving at the moment. So, say goodbye to metallic tasting stainless steel straws and soggy paper ones, glass straws are where it’s at!
Our cotton shoppers were designed to be an everyday accessory, and your alternative to plastic shopping bags. They’re super sturdy so you can carry heavy fruit and veg or pack it full for a day trip to the beach. The cotton shoppers also help have a positive impact on the planet in more ways than one. The profits from the sale of our Beysis Shoppers are donated to Project Change International which seeks to empower disadvantaged girls through education. Planet, tick. Empowerment, tick. Change, tick.
Remember when we’d buy a plastic water bottle, only to drink it and toss it an hour later? Same. And we’re a little bit embarrassed about it. Since we founded Beysis, we made it our mission to throw this habit to the curb and embrace the concept of reusable water bottles. Our stainless-steel water bottles are uber chic, so you can look good while doing good for the environment. They are made with quality materials which omit that yuck tin-like taste and withstand both cold and hot temperatures. Whip up an iced coffee in the morning or use it to house your hot tea… it’s the perfect vessel for enjoying a delish beverage. They’re also a handy sidekick to glass drinking straws.
With South Australia paving the way, other states are slowly following suit. But given it took 11 years for the whole country to ban single-use plastic bags (and South Australia were again the first), patience is a virtue. We’re riding the wave at Beysis though so until Australia is completely plastic-free, we have a series of reusable products we know you’re going to love and slot seamlessly into your plastic-free life.
