100% BIODEGRADABLE STRAWS: Our certified compostable, 5” short sipping straws are made of natural sugarcane and plant-based PHA that biodegrade in ~12-16 months. Rest assured they’ll safely return to earth without harming local plants and wildlife. DURABLE, NON-SOGGY: EcoPreps’ unwrapped plant-based straws can be left in drinks for two weeks without turning soggy or breaking down. They won’t dissolve, add flavor, or crack and peel while drinking – perfect for everyday use and week-long events.

Suitable for sipping or stirring hot coffee, ice cold cocktails, milk teas, juices, etc., but NOT for any thick liquids. NATURAL, SAFE, NON-TOXIC: Plastic/PLA-Free, BPA-Free, Chemical-Free – sugarcane plant fiber derived, sustainable straws are food grade approved and TUV tested AGAINST microplastics (and PLA).
