Unlike compostable straws, single-use plastic straws do not degrade in landfills or oceans. There isn’t a compostable plastic straw. Unfortunately, plastic straws take 200 years or more to break down under the right conditions. Biodegradable and compostable. As far as we use pure plant material, you can move closer to the 0 waste concept of living with YesStraws. The straws decompose in a few months and live no toxic traces, actually no traces at all. They are made from Ingeo™ bioplastic, which has characteristics and performance tailored for cold drinking liquids. Ingeo™ has naturally advanced resins and a carbon footprint 80% lower than the fossil fuel-based polymers. There is no shortage of various types of plant-based compostable drinking straws for you to select, each one coming with its own distinctive features that suit different needs. Overall, many of these plasticless straws share two significantly similar characteristics: biodegradability and compostability. Place your trust in these natural products!

Sugarcane straws are made from the plant fibers of perennial grasses (Saccharum). They are plant-based straws that are biodegradable and compostable. ( See our catalog to learn a lot more) It's safe to say that paper straws have been a letdown. Clearly, choosing sustainability often meant sacrificing usability. But not anymore!Ingeo™ Bioplastic emits fewer greenhouse gasses (GHGs) than the comparable manufacture of all common petrochemical-based plastics. They aren’t plastic!

Our new biodegradable PLA straws have the physical appearance of plastic but are 100% biodegradable and commercially compostable. In terms of quality compostable straws, Plasticless has a transparent variety made from plant materials. It’s completely free of plastic, BPA, and other harmful materials that can harm your health. The majority of plastic straws contain polypropylene, a material that takes up to 30 years to degrade completely. This dangerously long period of decomposition creates dire consequences that spread across the globe. Mainly, polypropylene releases high quantities of toxins into the environment. Unfortunately, one of the most harmful toxic substances within polypropylene is ‘cadmium’, a carcinogenic metal that destroys plants and animals. This substance can leak into landfills and the ocean, causing devastating results to both. High-quality. We thoroughly choose suppliers and deliver only high-grade products. Our biodegradable straws are made of clean 100% natural material and do not contain any toxic chemicals as plastic disposable drinking straws You get a solid item suitable for cold and hot drinks that will not sodden or add a side taste.

If we do this, we can continue to hope that our planet will regain its natural beauty once more.

Sugarcane is also a renewable source of plant fibers. It grows again after being harvested, making it environmentally friendly and sustainable as an agricultural product.Wheat covers approximately 2.25 million square kilometers of the world's surface, which is ten times the size of the UK. Sadly, much of the leftover straw goes to waste or is burned. straw straws make productive use of this abundant natural resource, eliminating the need for needless deforestation. Manufacturers are using organic materials like corn, sugarcane, soy protein, tapioca starches, cellulose, etc. These materials are biodegradable and cause no harm to the environment.
