Our individually wrapped PHA wide smoothie straws look and feel just like traditional plastic straws except they are made with PHA, a cutting edge bio-based polymer.
PHA is a superior straw material as it can compost in home compost bins which produce lower temperatures than industrial composting facilities.
PHA is also unique in that is marine degradable and will completely break down in marine environments, should it unproperly end up there. PHA (Polyhydroxyalkanoate) is derived from the highly refined, and allergy-free oils of canola and soy seeds.
Each case of straws includes 8 recyclable paper boxes of 300 straws per bag. Also known as "Giant Standard" straws which are your typical wide/smoothie width and standard 7.75" length.
