If you want to reduce your ecological footprint then our straws are a good option. Unlike traditional straws that are made from non-renewable petroleum based polypropylene (PP), our straws are made from Ingeoâ„¢, a biodegradable and compostable plastic made from annually renewable corn.
Not only is Ingeoâ„¢derived from annually renewable corn, but it environmentally outperforms every major petroleum based plastic. Manufacturing of the new Ingeoâ„¢ plastic emits 77 percent less CO2 and consumes 56 percent less energy than the equivalent weight of PET.
Our Ingeoâ„¢ straws are also 100% biodegradable and compostable. Therefore to lower your footprint even more and to divert waste from landfills, consider composting used straws in a commercial composting facility.
Note that composting is required for biodegradation. Our straws will biodegrade in 180 days or less in a commercial composting facility but may take a year or more in a home composting system. If you would like help with your composting program, please contact us.
Our Ingeoâ„¢straws are strong, durable, and great for cold drinks.
