Compostable Paper Straws That Are Better for the Environment

Straws are essential in food service. Due to the immense damage plastic straws are known to cause to the environment, more cafes and restaurants are switching to paper straws – a much more responsible option to serve your delicious drinks with! In a perfect world, we would eliminate straws altogether; however, we know some customers still prefer to use a straw, and some drinks, like bubble tea, require a straw to be consumed. Fortunately, we have the perfect solution: sturdy, compostable paper straws made from FSC™ Mix certified paper. 

Why Our Straws Are Better 

Not all paper drinking straws are created equal. Some paper straws feature a plastic lining, which means they are only suitable for landfill and cannot be composted. Others are made from virgin paper pulp or other uncertified paper. Make sure you research when purchasing straws and ask the packaging company what materials are used to make the product. Our bio straws are made from FSC™ Mix certified paper, ensuring that our raw materials are sustainably sourced. You can read more about why choosing FSC™ certified paper is important on our blog.

Why Plastic Straws Are Harmful To The Environment

Plastic straw bans are now a global movement, with consumers choosing bio paper straws as the preferred alternative. People are increasingly becoming aware of the negative impact plastic straws have on ocean ecosystems and how they contribute massive amounts to landfill. 

After a short use of about 20 minutes, plastic straws are discarded – ending up in landfill at best, or more likely in our oceans, where they are ingested by marine life, causing the plastic to make its way up the food chain. Plastic never completely breaks down but rather just becomes smaller and smaller. Some food for thought: every single piece of plastic you’ve ever used in your life still exists and will outlive your children’s children’s children.

The Solution: Compostable Paper Straws

That's why we've developed our range of eco friendly disposable straws which are designed to break down into soil. Certified industrially (EN13432) and home compostable (NF T51-800 ) to European standards, our home compostable straws do not have any coating. We use premium, extra-strength 3-ply paper to ensure the straws maintain their integrity while being used. The total paper weight of the three layers is 350 grams per square metre (gsm), (135gsm + 135gsm + 80gsm).

Paper Straws in Various Sizes, Shapes and Colours

These environmentally friendly straws are available in two sizes – Regular and Jumbo. Some of our regular paper straws now come individually wrapped and help avoid the spread of germs while providing customers with a hygienic way to enjoy their drinks. These straws are the best paper straws on the market and come in various colours and prints, including black, white, and green striped designs, and more. Want to customise your drinking straw?
