Our EarthStraw drinking straws are designed for eco-conscious businesses seeking to reduce plastic waste. Made from PLA (Polylactic Acid), a bioplastic derived from plant sources, these straws are fully compostable in industrial facilities. Unlike paper straws, they stay firm and durable in beverages for hours, offering a pleasant drinking experience without soggy or mushy texture.
