Uses

Cold Drinks

Can withstand liquid exposure without softening or collapsing. Ideal for various drinks like sodas, iced teas, and fruit juices.

Thicker Drinks

The straws can accommodate smoothies, milkshakes, or frappes. The wide diameter prevents clogging for a smooth liquid passage.

Event Catering

These straws are perfect for events, festivals, and banquets that require large quantities of disposable cutlery and beverage accessories. They provide an efficient, cost-effective solution. The mixed-colour aesthetic appeals to event setups, themed parties, corporate events, and festivals.

Takeaway & Fast-Food Industry

These are practical for drive-through and fast-food sectors, where rapid service and product turnover are standard. Restaurants and fast-food chains that offer beverages with takeout orders often prefer single-use, disposable ones.

Retail and Promotional Uses

Their colourful appearance makes them suitable for gift baskets, party favours, or as part of branded food packaging. The bulk also makes them suitable for wholesale and resale to other businesses.

Facts

• Unlike plastic alternatives, paper straws are free from BPA (bisphenol A), phthalates, and other harmful chemicals.
• Due to its organic material composition, the pulp breaks down within a few weeks when exposed to natural environmental conditions. 
• Under ideal conditions (in compost or landfills with adequate moisture), it can degrade fully within 30 to 60 days.

Adopting biodegradable sheets helps mitigate the environmental burden of single-use plastic, a leading cause of marine pollution. In 2019, 1 billion plastics were used in the U.S. alone, most of which ended up in landfills or the ocean.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much weight does a case of 5000 weigh?

Each weighs 8 to 10 pounds (3.6 to 4.5 kg). This lightweight makes it easy to handle and store, even in small storage spaces. This ascertains efficient logistics and reduces the carbon footprint associated with frequent restocking.

What is the recommended maximum exposure time to liquids before the straw starts to degrade?

It is designed to withstand exposure to cold and moderately thick liquids for 30 to 60 minutes before they soften. This time frame suits most beverages served in restaurants and cafes. 

How much carbon release can be saved by switching to paper?

As biodegradable and produced from renewable resources, it produces 1.1 kg of CO2 equivalent per 1000 units during production. Plastic has a much higher footprint, 2.5 kg CO2-equivalent per 1000 cases. Switching to paper-based results in a reduction in emissions of over 50%.
