Certifications and compliance

Every SKU on this page is BPI (US), EN 13432 (EU), and ASTM D6400 certified for industrial composting. Material formulations use only plant-derived feedstocks — no PFAS, no oxo-degradables, no fossil-plastic intermediates. Our certificate trail back-references the same factory the products ship from, so procurement and compliance teams can verify chain-of-custody from compounding through finished goods.

OEM, private label, and bulk orders

Stock SKUs ship by the case from finished-goods inventory; printed and OEM runs go through art-file proofing, plate or digital setup, and quality control before release. Standard MOQ is around 5,000 units for printed orders, with cost efficiency improving steeply at 10,000+ units and full-pallet or container volumes. Lead time is typically 4–6 weeks after artwork approval, plus ocean freight for international shipments.

Frequently asked questions

Will paper straws go soggy?

Our paper straws hold for ~30+ minutes in hot drinks, ~60+ minutes in cold. For longer service, PLA or PHA straws stay rigid throughout.

Are PLA straws marine-degradable?

No — PLA needs industrial composting. For marine degradation, choose PHA straws.
