Compostable PLA Straws

Built for cafés, juice bars, bubble-tea operators, and B2B beverage brands, our pla straws use plant-based PBAT, PLA, and paper. 3 stocked SKUs cover the full pla straws range.

What sets our pla straws apart

• No-soggy paper alternative. PLA and PHA straws hold structural integrity for hot and cold drinks across full service durations.
• Bubble-tea spec’d. Boba straws sized for tapioca pearls, with reinforced wall thickness.
• Marine-degradable PHA option. For sea-going operations and coastal cafés that want a closer-to-zero-impact straw.

Specifications and material breakdown

• Materials: PLA bioplastic, PHA marine-degradable polymer, food-grade kraft paper
• Lengths: Standard 5.75", jumbo 8.5", boba 9.5" with wider bore

Certifications and compliance

Standards compliance: BPI (US), EN 13432 (EU), ASTM D6400, ISO 17088, and DIN CERTCO. These are the credentials procurement and compliance teams typically request when evaluating compostable suppliers. We provide verifiable certificate numbers, lab test reports, and material safety documentation.

OEM, private label, and bulk orders

Standard sizes ship from inventory; OEM, ODM, and private-label runs with custom dimensions and branded artwork ship factory direct from our Shenzhen facility. Print methods include flexo (volume-cost efficient at 10,000+ units), digital (short-run / multi-SKU / seasonal artwork), and embossing (premium-positioned items). All inks are food-safe and either water-based or UV-cured — both compost end-to-end.

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.
