Process of creating a “grass straw”
After the reed grass is harvested, it goes through 7 steps. First, the farmers will peel off the outer layer, then wash it with saltwater. Next, laborers will cut a reed grass into approximately 4 straws, ranging in size from 11-25cm (depending on customer requirements). Step 3 is to clear the straw using a metal or copper tool to push the white inner membrane out.
Next, it is taken for another round of washing and then subjected to sterilization technology to ensure it is mold-free. If it’s fresh reed grass straws, they are wrapped in banana leaves and delivered directly to customers for use within a month. With dried reed grass straws, which are machine-dried, they are placed in paper boxes, and customers can carry them in their bags wherever they go.
Reed grass is much easier to grow than other types of plants, mainly thriving in saline soil and requiring minimal nutrition. When there is high water or flooding, the grass grows even better, and it can be harvested within a maximum of 2 years.
In the past, people in the Southern region of Vietnam used to grow a lot of reed grass for making mats and various weaving tools. However, as society developed, this craft gradually declined, and people started abandoning reed grass cultivation. Nevertheless, with the growing market for reed grass straws, people can continue to cultivate reed grass and have a stable source of income. Nguyen Vo believes that reed grass straws have the potential to outperform paper and rice straws due to their durability and maximum hygiene.
In the current alarming environmental pollution trend, reed grass straws are a product that the world needs. In the future, Eco Friendly Vietnam plans to utilize all parts of the plant’s stem to create more environmentally friendly products such as cup handles, baskets, small trays, cup coasters, and dish pads.
These are green products that can be supplied to restaurants and hotels. This not only reduces plastic waste but also promotes sustainability, benefiting the environment and the oceans. Eco Friendly Vietnam hopes to convey the message to everyone that when traveling, dining by the sea, they should clean up their seating area. Through their awareness and small actions, they can spread the message to those around them.
