Help us #Make A Splash
Support Clean Ocean Sailing in cleaning inaccessible beaches from ocean plastics
At Stroodles we are not just a straw company, Stroodles is a movement. We are here to help fight plastic waste and straws are just our first channel of choice. Scientists estimate there are over 8.3 billion plastic straws polluting our oceans, that’s a number we can’t even picture. Knowing that, we want to make a change!
That’s why we have launched our #MakeASplash campaign, which will raise awareness of ocean plastic pollution and the devastating impact it is having on our oceans and wildlife. We’ve partnered up with Clean Ocean Sailing to #MakeASplash in the fight against plastic waste in our oceans.
The UN predicts that if we continue to allow plastic to enter our ocean at the current rate, by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish. Did you know that
a staggering 8 million tonnes of plastic waste
enters the oceans every year? That’s equivalent to one bin lorry of plastic dumping into the ocean every minute!
Did you know that more than half a billion plastic straws are used every day around the world?
A staggering 100,000 marine mammals and 1 million seabirds die every year from plastic pollution.
Support our fight
against plastic waste by sharing your favourite snaps of the British coastline or your beach clean efforts. Use #MakeASplash and tell us why protecting the coast is
important to you.

about our partnership with Clean Ocean Sailing!
Clean Ocean Sailing are a local Cornish voluntary organisation that dedicates itself to cleaning our coasts and oceans sustainably under sail, raising awareness about ocean plastic pollution.
Based in the idyllic Helford River in Cornwall, Clean Ocean Sailing hold regular beach cleans down the river to the coves inaccessible by land, which are overflowing with plastic waste. They have also restored their 113-year old sailing boat (named Annette) to carry out this mission!
Clean Ocean Sailing will sail with Annette around European seas, and with smaller crafts, they will paddle and sail around coastlines and visit small, inaccessible beaches where they collect ocean plastic and rubbish!
You can support their amazing work by donating here.
By donating anything you can and supporting their work, you will be helping them to continue organising beach cleans, working with local people and businesses on finding solutions to the problem and keeping the issue of marine litter in the public eye.
