Fully Biodegradable Straws

Fully degradable straws can be completely decomposed under natural environment or composting conditions. Different from traditional plastic straws, it will not remain in the environment for hundreds of years like plastic. The decomposed products are basically harmless to the soil and ecosystem. For example, fully degradable straws made of plant fibers will decompose into substances such as carbon dioxide, water and organic fertilizers in the soil within months to years, re-entering the natural cycle and reducing the burden on landfills and marine plastic pollution.

Fully degradable straws do not contain harmful chemicals such as bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates. These chemicals may seep out of traditional plastic straws under certain conditions, posing potential risks to human health, such as affecting the endocrine system and reproductive system. The natural plant materials used in fully degradable straws, such as bamboo fiber and pulp, are non-toxic and harmless. Even when in contact with hot or cold drinks, they will not release harmful substances, ensuring the health and safety of consumers.
For the food and beverage industry, fully degradable straws meet strict food safety standards. This enables it to be widely used in various food contact scenarios. Whether it is hot coffee or iced milk tea, it can provide consumers with a safe drinking tool.

Fully degradable straws can well replace traditional plastic straws in performance. They have sufficient strength and toughness, can withstand a certain degree of bending and pressure, and are not easy to break. For example, some plant fiber straws can maintain a complete shape when inserted into beverage boxes or stirring beverages, and will not break easily like some inferior plastic straws.
The taste of fully degradable straws is also relatively comfortable. Compared with the plastic odor that some plastic straws may have, fully degradable straws usually have a natural plant smell or no odor. When tasting beverages, it will not bring unpleasant tastes to consumers and can improve consumers' use experience.

As the global attention to environmental protection continues to increase, more and more countries and regions have introduced policies to restrict or ban the use of disposable plastic products. As an ideal substitute for traditional plastic straws, fully degradable straws can help enterprises meet these policy requirements and avoid legal risks and economic penalties faced by using plastic straws.
The awakening of consumers' environmental awareness also makes them more inclined to choose green and environmentally friendly products. Enterprises' use of fully degradable straws can enhance brand image and attract more environmentally conscious consumers, thereby gaining an advantage in market competition. In some catering places and retail channels that pay attention to environmental protection image, fully degradable straws have become a selling point to attract customers.
