At Seastraws we care about our culture - it's what makes us, us! Here at SeaStraws we foster a culture of excellence and transparency. People and planet are at the heart of our company and how we care for each other and care for Mother Earth are what makes us special.

MISSION: Our mission is to empower hospitality through sustainable alternatives. We champion the future through sustainable products and education, and we are committed to making sustainable living the new norm.

VISION: Our vision is an empowered and educated community living in harmony with the earth. 

The SeaStraws team may be located on the island of Manhattan, but their hearts lie in the Jersey Shore. As kids, we looked forward to the freedom of summers at Brick Beach, and the weekly venture down the parkway became completely worth it from the moment we stepped on the sandy beach and caught sight of the glistening ocean. 

We want to preserve this feeling for future generations. And with that, the SeaStraws journey began.

For us sustainability means building products made from the best renewable and natural materials, and making sure they are made fairly and ethically.

Sustainability also means educating our community and future generations. It is at the core of our work at SeaStraws (S.E.A. – sustainability, education, and advocacy) to make information around environmental policies and issues accessible for everyone.

Our name Seastraws comes from our connection with the oceans and the mission we have to save the seas. Our name strives to help people connect plastic straws with the harming of marine wildlife and the polluting of the ocean.

Our logo was created using the dolphin, one of the friendliest and smartest marine animals. Community is very important to dolphins and it's also important to us! We chose to use the dolphin not only because it had personal significance to our founders but also to show that the plastic pollution problem extends beyond the sea turtles. 

Several logo versions can be used, depending on the available space or layout. These are the primary versions that should be used.

Seastraws’ primary color palette consists of Seastraws Blue and white, with accents of Deep Sea blue when needed. Consistent color use strengthens our brand identity.

Seastraws’ brand typeface is Avenir. To add flexibility, the full Avenir family can be used in any materials. Use the different weights within the family to create text hierarchy.
