What These Actually Are
Straight drinking straws made from PLA bio-polymer — so they feel and draw like the plastic straw your customers are used to, but they’re plant-based and headed for an industrial compost stream rather than the ocean.
Sizes You Get
| Width | Usually specc’d for |
| 6mm | standard sodas and water |
| 8mm | smoothies, shakes, iced coffee |
| 12mm | boba, thick shakes, cocktails |
Lengths to match your cup and lid; box counts confirmed on the spec sheet we send for your volume.
The Honest Fit
- Great for cold and iced drinks — sits firm in a soda or smoothie all service.
- Avoid long hot-tea holds where a PLA straw can soften; for near-boiling drinks a fibre or bamboo straw holds better.
- Individually wrapped or unwrapped options and custom print on volume.
Material & End of Life
PLA is plant-based bio-plastic; commercially compostable (the exact class and certificate for your batch supplied on request). It is not conventional oil-based plastic.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MOQ for this product?
Container economics drive the answer here. A part-load is possible for a first order, but the cost per piece drops once you reach full-container volume — we will show you the curve.
Can it be customised or printed?
Partially. Colour and logo options exist within the material limits, and we will tell you plainly if a design cannot be held. Send the artwork for a feasibility review.
Is it suitable for hot, cold or greasy food?
Generally yes within normal service conditions. Very hot, very wet or very greasy loads are the cases worth testing a sample on first — we would rather you check than guess.
What certifications apply?
We treat certifications as documents, not marketing. Tell us your destination market and we will send the specific certificate and food-contact paperwork that applies to the grade you are buying.
