PLA Cornstarch Straws
Our bio-based drinking straws are produced using sustainable materials. These straws are made from PLA; a bioplastic with a cornstarch base. They look and feel like normal plastic but are actually made from sustainable natural resources without the nasty petroleum chemicals.
We’re all aware that plastic straws have been a menace to our planet for many years. They often end up in the environment where they won’t degrade, then find their way to the sea and float around our oceans leaching toxins and creating microplastics.
Our range of PLA cornstarch drinking straws are made to look and feel like conventional plastic. However, they don’t contain the same petroleum-based chemicals. Instead, they’re produced using bio-based materials that allow it to biodegrade.
All our PLA straws are certified as food-safe to the highest of standards and also certified to EN 13432 compostable regulations.
