Biodegradable straws Vs Plastic Straws

Tired of sipping your favorite iced latte through a super soggy, mushy paper straw? If your definition of sustainability revolves around switching plastic straws with those not-so-god paper straws, you need an upgrade. Unlike what people like to think, sustainability is not always about making a compromise. And, your favorite fizzy drinks absolutely do not deserve to be sucked through a chemically-slathered, mushy paper straw.

This is why our compostable straws are here to make things easy for you. Whether you own a fine dine place at one of the best places in town or are a chic cafe owner, selling on aesthetics, our PLA straws are here to help you make a sustainable step without having to see your paper straw diminish in your drink.

With that being said, here's what the buzz is about compostable straws and why you need to make a switch today.

Wait, What's PLA Straw?

We all know plastic straws are catastrophic for our planet. And, whether you are into sustainability or not, you must have seen those paper straws replace plastic straws everywhere. However, while paper straws are far better than plastic straws, they don't offer that experience and often ruin your favorite drinks.

This is where biodegradable straws come in. Biodegradable or compostable straws are usually made from PLA. PLA, or polylactic acid, is derived from plant starch like corn. In short, PLA straws are made from corn starch. And, unlike plastic straws, which depend upon synthesizing petroleum into plastic, these non-toxic bendy straws are made from just plants.

Plus, unlike paper straws, which get way too soggy once they enter your drinks, these drinking straws are designed to elevate your drinking experience.

5 Reasons To Switch to PLA Compostable Straws

Now that you know what PLA straws are all about, here are 8 reasons why they are better than plastic or paper straws.

Plant-Based for the Planet

Stating again, PLA drinking straws are made from plants, not plastic. Being entirely plant-based, these straws do not rely on any non-renewable resources to be made. Plus, because they rely only on plants, these straws are made using less energy, water, and other resources.

Non-Toxic for your Drinks

While plastic straws are a bit more convenient than paper straws, these straws are usually slathered in chemicals. These chemicals contaminate your drink and enter your body, making you prone to ailments. However, these straws are absolutely non-toxic. They are safe for your kids who love sipping on their favorite soda and even safe for the planet.

Anti-Mushy for your Convenience

No more sipping through those nasty straws that vanish in your drinks. PLA eco-friendly straws are non-saggy, anti-mushy, and definitely do not dissolve in your drink. These straws are designed to help you embrace sustainability without any compromise.

Compostable for the Oceans

We bet all of us are familiar with how plastic straws can lead to choking in marine life. But, here's to no more endangering wildlife. These bendable straws are made from plants and come with a back-to-nature promise. Certified compostable, these straws are backed to break down into compost within just 90-180 days after disposal. Once the compost is formed, you can mix it with your backyard soil to offer important nutrients to the soil.

Sleek & Stylish for the Aesthetics

If you are a cafe or a restaurant owner, aesthetics is something you wanna abide by. And, our biodegradable bendy straws offer a sleek light green color and smooth texture to offer all the vibes your drinks deserve.

Ethical Consumption & Responsible Disposal:The Sum Up

Bendable straws

And, there you have it! That's a wrap on why our plant-based biodegradable straws deserve to be in your restaurants and cafes. Being compostable, you must ensure that you dispose of them responsibly. The straws are certified as being industrial compostable. Meaning, once you or your guests are done using them, you must dispose of them in your compost bin and get in touch with your local composting facilities to ensure safe disposal.
