Ditching Plastic and PLA Straws:
The UK Government’s decision to ban plastic straws in 2020 was a significant environmental achievement. However, the effectiveness of the ban has been questioned as many places continue to offer what appears to be plastic straws.
These are, in fact, PLA straws – PLA plastic, or polylactic acid, is a biodegradable, plant-based alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics, derived from renewable resources like corn starch or sugar cane. The problem is that it’s not as eco-friendly as it sounds. It needs extensive chemicals and processing, and only decomposes under very specific conditions otherwise it can take as long to break down as regular plastic. In the ocean, PLA straws are just as harmful to marine life as traditional straws. With plastic taking centuries to decompose and our planet drowning in plastic waste, it’s time to make the switch!

How are paper straws made?
- Sustainable paper
Paper straws are crafted through an intricate extrusion process, where a mixture of sustainable paper fibre and water is transformed into a continuous paper tube.
- Production method
The paper tube is then cut to the desired length, shaped with a gentle touch of biodegradable glue, and carefully dried to perfection. This production method uses a fraction of the CO2 used to make plastic straws.
- Highest quality
To ensure that the final product is of the highest quality, rigorous quality control checks are performed before packaging and distribution.
Customization for Business Customers:
For B2B clients, we offer customization in size, color, and diameter to cater to your unique needs.
Our paper straws are manufactured to top quality standards, including FSSC22000, ISO9001, HACCP, BRC A+, and BSCI, giving you the confidence that your straws are not only ethically and sustainably sourced, but also ensure full industry compliance and customer satisfaction.
