Paper Straws

Each day, Americans use over 500 million plastic straws. These straws eventually find their way into landfills throughout the United States, where they remain for an exceptionally long time. The average plastic straw takes anywhere from 100 to 500 years to completely decompose. To make a long story short, that means the harmful and not-so-sustainable legacy of the plastic straw will easily outlive us.

 

There’s plenty that sets paper straws apart from the ordinary plastic straw. For starters, these straws are made from 100-percent renewable resources, making them an eco-friendly alternative to the traditional plastic straw. Because they’re organic, these straws are 100-percent compostable in commercial compost facilities. If you’re worried about paper straws falling apart during use, keep in mind they’re also specifically designed to withstand the rigors of typical use.
