We use an oxo-biodegradable additive at the manufacturing stage which turns ordinary plastic into a material with a different molecular structure. After a period of useful life, the ECO-STRAW will break down in the presence of oxygen. At the end of that process, it is no longer a plastic and has become a material which will disappear in the open environment, the same way as a leaf.

Same characteristics and strength of a normal drinking straw. Comes in a variety of sizes, regular, jumbo, cocktail and individually wrapped.
After it’s useful life the oxo-biodegradable additive takes effect and the product begins to break down in the presence of oxygen.
The product eventually becomes carbon dioxide, water and biomass without leaving fragments in the environment.
ASTM D6954-04(2013) American standard for exposing and testing plastics that degrade in the enviroment by a combination of oxidisation and biodegradation. This covers:
Tier 1 – Degradability
Tier 2 – Biodegradation
Tier 3 – Eco-toxicity
