But that's not all. The pulp production process for paper straws is both harmful and energy-intensive. Recent Canadian studies have shown that toxic substances like Ammonia, Arsenic, and Mercury are released into the air near pulp mills. Not only are these substances known carcinogens, but they also endanger the environment around them. Some paper straws are not compostable. Compostable paper straws need to be 100% paper or a combination of paper and beeswax. Paper is biodegradable if it is natural without any additives.

Plastic straws can take over 200 years to decompose.

While inventing YesStraws, we were keeping in mind a few basic goals which we successfully achieved. Now we can confirm that the products we offer are: Corn starch is widely accepted as an effective material for making plastic-alternative products. This material is ideal to create polylactic acid, otherwise known as PLA. PLA is plant-based but is accompanied by the convenient features of plastic. PLA straws may be considered thermoplastic products, however, they contain far fewer toxic substances and chemicals than traditional polypropylene plastics do. Every day, an average of 80,000 acres of forests are cleared for various industries, including straw production. This destruction is a grave threat to carbon sinks and habitats, causing irreparable damage.

If the goods you have received are faulty or defected, please let us know straight away and we will arrange for a next day collection and replacement for you. Manufacturers are using organic materials like corn, sugarcane, soy protein, tapioca starches, cellulose, etc. These materials are biodegradable and cause no harm to the environment. This process happens naturally in your garden, but you can speed it up by turning the compost pile regularly. Turn the pile over with a shovel a few times per week. Mixing the materials makes airflow better and gives microorganisms better access. What Are Compostable Straws Made Of?
