Our straws are made from PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoate), a 100% biodegradable, compostable, recyclable material and are an environmentally friendly alternative to paper and traditional plastic straws. They are made from natural and renewable resources and are biodegradable in both soil and marine environments. Unlike plastic straws that will take hundreds of years to break down into microplastics, PHA straws can degrade in a matter of months without generating these harmful particles. Additionally, PHA is a safe and non-toxic material that is suitable for food contact. These straws provide a sustainable solution for reducing plastic waste and help preserve the environment.

Some benefits of our PHA straw over a paper straw are
• Multiple End-Of-Life Options: PHA straws are recyclable, compostable and biodegradable. They follow the same path of biodegradability as paper, breaking down into organic matter and CO2.
• Durability: No one likes soggy paper straws, unless you are in that kind of thing. Our PHA made straws are superior and more durable than paper straws. Making them feel just like your old fashion straws, just without all the microplastics.
• Renewable Resource: PHAs are 100% made from renewable resources such as sugars and vegetable oils. No need to cut down the trees.

Our PHA straws offer several advantages over traditional petrochemical plastic straws
• Multiple End-Of-Life Options: PHA straws are recyclable, compostable and biodegradable. They follow the same path of biodegradability as paper, breaking down into organic matter and CO2.
• Renewable Resource: PHAs are 100% made from renewable resources, in either the form of sugars, vegetable oils , or even biogas such as Methane and CO2. The alternative plastic straws made from non-renewable fossil fuels.
• Lower Environmental Impact: PHA bio-polymer manufacturing generates far lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to petrochemical plastic. It's estimated to be 200% lower than Petrochemical Plastic manufacturing.
• Does No harm to Marine Life: Petroleum based plastic straws are constantly washing upon our shores. And aside from being an eye sore, they are a continuing threat to all marine life. Made of polypropylene, these straws will stay afloat for decades as they slowly erode into millions of microplastics only to be ingested by marine life and making its way up the food chain.
PHA made straws, if injected into our sensitive biomes, will naturally break down and be re-absorbed by mother nature and become a source of food for bacteria. We strongly DO NOT condone littering and its impact on the pollution of our beaches, lakes and rivers. Please recycle or Compost our products.
