8.3 BILLION straws are found on shorelines every year.

BIODEGRADABLILITY AND MARINE DEGRADABILITY

Our paper straws use natural cellulose paper as the primary material of the paper drinking straw.

Paper, being a natural fiber, is universally considered to be inherently biodegradable and is supported as such by organizations such as the San Francisco Food Service Ware Ordinance. Being made of paper, naturally degrade in oceans, rivers and lakes and are safe for marine life. All plastic straws, including biodegradable and compostable plastic straws, pose a serious threat to the marine environment as their fragments do not degrade and remain in the ocean, able to be ingested by marine organisms. Our durable straws reduce plastic pollution by breaking down quickly in most environments.

FOOD SAFE - FDA/EU COMPLIANT Our straws have been tested and approved to be in compliance with FDA test method 21 CFR 176.170. Testing was also conducted to obtain evidence of compliance with Council of Europe Resolution AP(2002)1 relating to paper materials and articles intended to come into contact with food. Our samples comply with The General Requirement (Article 3) in EU Regulation No. 1935/2004 as referenced in Report Number EFSH13080415-ST. Inks used for printing on the surface of our drinking straws have been tested, certified and are guaranteed acceptable for direct contact with food products, in accordance with the applicable chapters and sections of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (21 CFR). In addition, a safety assessment has been conducted, and based on the toxicity testing results; the conclusion provides added evidence that all chemical components used are proven to be safe as tested by the Health, Environmental, & Regulatory Services of Intertek USA, Inc. Additionally, all raw material and process components used are free of any fluorochemicals/fluorinated compounds.

SUSTAINABILITY The vast majority of material used in the composition of these products is in compliance to Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI). This paperbased material comes from a sustainably managed forest with chain-of-custody procedures in place.

COMPOSTABILITY Sample product was submitted to an independent source for substrate review. The evaluation was successful in verifying the product meets the untreated paper substrate requirement for its acceptance in commercial composting processes and is verified to be fluorine free.
