Biodegradable straws are eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plastic straws. Made from materials like PLA (polylactic acid), paper, or bamboo, these straws break down naturally over time, reducing environmental impact. They are designed to decompose in composting conditions, making them a sustainable choice for consumers and businesses. Unlike plastic straws, which can take hundreds of years to decompose, biodegradable straws typically break down within a few months to a few years. This helps to minimize pollution in oceans and landfills, contributing to a cleaner planet. Many restaurants and cafes are now adopting biodegradable straws to promote sustainability.
