TAIPEI, May 20, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

A New Choice for the Break Free from Plastic movement! 


VIIDA Morgen UiU collapsible straw, owned by Jiin Ming Industry Co., Ltd., has 
raised US$500,000 in crowdfunding platform "Zeczec", with its original 
technology won the Good Design Award of Japan in 2020 and Red Dot Design Award 
of Germany in 2021. UiU is given with the features as being light, easy to 
carry, and convenient to be briefly stored in 3 seconds, making it a trendy 
product for plastic reduction. The project for this product is currently being 
carried out on the Japanese crowdfunding platform 
"Makuake(https://www.makuake.com/project/viida/)".

"Morgen UiU collapsible straw" brings a new choice of convenient plastic 
reduction for the beverage family! UiU is made of medical-grade platinum 
silicone and 316L stainless steel. This patented technology creates UiU with 
both environmental protection concepts and aesthetics. It is lightweight, 
convenient, fast to use, and capable of high-temperature sterilization. It can 
be taken with you in your pocket, completely changing the public's stereotype 
that environmentally friendly products are inconvenient to carry.

Single-use plastic products have posed a crisis to the ecology, and the waste 
seriously pollutes the sea. According to reports, it is estimated that about 
8.5 billion straws are found scattered on beaches of the world. The type of 
plastic products may be inserted into the nostrils of sea turtles, jam the 
beaks of seabirds, and be eaten by fish, thereby posing a severe threat to the 
ecology.

In recent years, campaigns of plastic reduction are promoted globally, and 
various environmentally-friendly straws are popular in the market. As indicated 
by surveys of environmental-friendly straws for users, most of the hard straws 
on the market are made of glass or stainless steel, which are difficult to 
carry and given with safety issues. Of silicone straws we see often, they are 
prone to be stained with dust and hair, and not easy to poke through the film. 
As for UiU, it has made of transparent silicone, so that any dirt at the pipe 
wall is clearly seen and easy to clean. As pointed out by a backer from the 
crowdfunding platform - "There is no need to re-adapt, and I can use the UiU 
environmental-friendly and portable straw in the most intuitive and easy way."

reduction and enjoying convenience is a test of human wisdom. Of UiU

different beverages. With various design ingenuity, let the concept of the 
plastic reduction be integrated into life habits, increase product utilization,
