Our new biodegradable and compostable drinking straws made with real sugarcane are unlike any straw you have seen or used before. That is because these straws are not your traditional plastic straws that are made from petroleum that take hundreds of years to degrade. Our sugarcane straws are made from 100% plant material that will degrade in 18 months. Our sugarcane straws are every bit as durable as traditional plastic straws and unlike paper straws they will not turn to mush in your drink. These straws are truly a better product for a cleaner planet.
