Biodegradable Straws

Out of the 8 million tons of plastic that flows into the ocean each year, plastic straws only comprise 0.025 percent of that total. Nevertheless, the environmental impact of the 500 million straws we use and discard on a daily basis can still be felt on our beaches and in our landfills.

 

It’s no wonder that restaurants across Mission Viejo, CA and the rest of the state are replacing traditional plastic straws with biodegradable straws. These straws are designed to break down quickly in a commercial compost facility, thus eliminating the waste that would normally end up in landfills. As a comparison, it often takes the average plastic straw anywhere from 100 years to as long as 500 years to completely decompose.

 

Biodegradable straws are the solution if you want your restaurant to go green. We offer a wide selection of 100-percent natural eco straws in a variety of styles and colors. Contact us today and learn more.
