Compostable Cocktail Straws
Looking for cocktail straws that handle real foodservice volume without breaking compost claims? Our range serves cafés, juice bars, bubble-tea operators, and B2B beverage brands with plant-based PHA.
What sets our cocktail 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
Compostability claims are backed by certification from BPI, TUV Austria, DIN CERTCO, and (where applicable) ABA for Australia and New Zealand. We test against ASTM D6400 — 90% biodegradation in 180 days, full disintegration in 84 days, ecotoxicity, and heavy-metal limits — before any SKU ships. Our team holds the certificates internally and can supply documentation on request.

OEM, private label, and bulk orders
Our OEM and ODM workflow runs in parallel to stock SKU sales. You send vector artwork (PDF/AI) at print resolution; we return a digital proof for sign-off. For flexo runs, a physical match-print proof goes out before plates are committed. Lead time is typically 4–6 weeks from final artwork approval through production. We document spec sheets, certificates of analysis, and chain-of-custody for compliance.
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.
