Compostable 6mm x 210mm PLA Straw

Our Compostable 6mm x 210mm PLA Straws are certified compostable in an industrial composting machine, making them an attractive eco-friendly alternative. Great for food and beverage establishments serving shakes, smoothies, fresh squeezed juices and other cold takeaway beverages with lower environmental impact.

PLA is:

• 100% suitable for food use.
• Derived from corn which is a renewable resource
• PLA products are compostable in industrial composting facilities
• PLA is cost competitive with regular petroleum-based resins such as PET and most likely cost advantaged in the future given rising petroleum prices
• Producing PLA uses 65% less energy than producing conventional plastics
• Producing PLA creates 68% fewer greenhouse gases than producing conventional plastics
• PLA contains no toxins. This product has no effects on the flavours of the food (fewer indeed, we believe, than the non-renewable alternatives available).

Please note that PLA-based packaging (such as this product) are not intended for high temperatures and as such are not suitable for microwave or oven use.

*PLA should not be added to other plastic destined to be recycled.
