At Stroodles we strongly believe that we don’t need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly, but rather millions of people doing it imperfectly. This is why we are so happy that our Pasta Straws and Tableware items are being used by so many establishments in the UK and across the world. We are glad that our Stroodles movement is continuously expanding and growing as more and more people & countries join us in making positive changes one Stroodle at a time!
We achieved some great milestones this year; starting from World's leading brands joining our forces ending with new Stroodles products we introduced throughout the year!
Our Sustainability Movement is only growing and in 2022 we are set to get even more of the world Stroodling!
We are very proud of what we have accomplished so far. Through individuals, organisations, and businesses switching to our pasta straws we’ve avoided tonnes and tonnes of plastic that would have found its way into our oceans.
Every small action or small swap you make (for instance, choosing a pasta straw over a paper or plastic one) contributes towards the bigger picture. If we all work together to help our planet out it will eventually become greener, healthier and happier! ✨

Ancient Whisky tasting with Stroodles x Spink x Cask 88
Mr. Stroodles had an honour to attend the Cask 88 organised auction and whisky tasting named ‘Going the Whole Hogshead’ at Spink London! 💰
Cask 88 collaboration with Spink took place in order to bring online whisky cask auctions to a new, wider audience, and offer new and improved services to vendors and buyers alike. ‘Going the Whole Hogshead’ gave bidders a fair opportunity to own one of those exceptional casks of single malt whisky, and introduced newcomers to the cheerful and rewarding experience of cask ownership 📖
We are extremely happy and proud of Stroodles collaboration with Cask 88, which allowed the toast to the Queen to be done in our Edible Cups. What an honour and what an interesting experience of drinking whisky in our Edible Wafer Cups! 🤯
Stroodles at COP26
Mr. Stroodles Maxim Gelmann attended the conference and got to listen to some politicians, business leaders, activists etc. It was a great experience and source of inspiration for Mr. Stroodles in his fight against single use plastic! ✨
For nearly three decades the United Nations has been bringing together almost every country on earth for global climate summits called COP (Conference of the Parties). During that time climate and global warming has gone from being a fringe issue to a global priority.
This year it was the 26th annual summit – giving it the name COP26. With the UK hosting COP26 took place in Glasgow.
We are very grateful for the opportunity to present our products at such a big event for like-minded people. Stroodles hopes that this summit and its message inspires more people to make small changes that have a positive impact on the climate.
