"A necessity, not a luxury."

Good news for your next coffee run: ZUS Coffee has taken a step toward becoming more eco-friendly
The beloved Malaysian coffee chain is now using recyclable Lyfecycle straws that are as tough as your caffeine cravings and won't go lembik (soft) in your drink!
If you've ever sipped on an iced latte only to have the straw turn into a floppy mess halfway through, you'll appreciate this upgrade.
Unlike paper straws that often get soggy, ZUS Coffee's new Lyfecycle straws are sturdy and designed to keep their shape — even in icy drinks
That means no more annoying straw breakdowns while you're trying to enjoy your caramel macchiato.
These recyclable straws are not only sturdy but also kind to the planet. They're made from materials that decompose in just two years and are also toxin-free and microplastic-free.
In contrast, traditional plastic straws can take up to 200 years to break down in landfills.
Before this, ZUS Coffee was using rice straws that were 100% plant-based, edible, and turtle-friendly
While great for the environment, these rice straws did have one downside: they tended to soften after some time in your drink.
Now, with the new Lyfecycle straws, you get the best of both worlds — durability and eco-friendliness.
These straws are designed to break down safely and naturally within two years, so you can sip your favourite drink and feel good about helping the planet.
