Lustir

Lustir is a 2018-founded startup that addresses the critical issue of plastic pollution with their slogan "Reusable carbon fiber drinking straws, coasters, and other barware supporting cleaner oceans." The company's unique reusable carbon fiber drinking straw aims to combat the staggering waste of approximately 500 million plastic straws discarded daily in the United States, which end up polluting landfills and oceans. The innovative use of carbon fiber, a high-performance material commonly associated with bicycles and exotic cars, sets Lustir apart. The product is completely sealed and uniquely BPA-free, enhancing its appeal and environmental impact. In an admirable display of commitment to sustainability, Lustir is a carbon-neutral company and contributes 5% of its sales to Virgin Unite's ocean protection initiatives. This exemplifies the company's dedication to encouraging responsible consumption. With a focus on E-Commerce, Manufacturing, Platforms, and Sustainability, Lustir has positioned itself at the intersection of environmental responsibility and consumer goods. Although details of their last investment and location are not specified, the company's mission and product offerings make it a compelling prospect for potential venture capital investment.
