FAQs

Aren't paper straws a lot more expensive than plastic straws?

Despite many retailers, being able to broadcast their environmental practices, consider the PR added benefits to outweigh the costs of paper straws, there still are several ways to recover the difference.

Many outlets simply incorporate the extra cost in to their drinks, the difference per unit being so minimal (less than 2p).

Some retailers only give out straws on demand. We find over 80% of consumers would be happy without a straw. If you follow this practise, you will save money.

All retailers using our paper straws only provide one straw per drink, recuperating most of the difference.

What will my customers think?

Your customers already want to stop using plastic, demonstrating your environmental practices to them, will make your brand meet their demand, establishing it as a supporter of an "ocean-friendly" global movement.

What will be my customers experience

To the consumer, the experience is "different" but not "unpleasant". Using our straws, it becomes obvious why they are drinking from paper straws and therefore accept the reason and support the cause and your brand in the process.

Don't paper straws go soggy in the drink?

The paper straws we provide can sit in a drink for up to one hour before showing any signs of deterioration. the straws have been tested/soaked over a period of 8 hours and still fully maintain their function.

Why not PLA?

As many retailers are now switching to alternative materials, PLA has been sold as a green product with misleading tactics. PLA plastic will only decompose quickly if put in a composting facility, or it will take the same amount of time as normal plastic to break down. If not kept separate, PLA will also contaminate the recycling stream of plastic. The manufacturing of PLA pollutes the earth.

Do the straws alter the taste of the drink?

Our paper straws are free of toxins, meaning no flavours are passed from straw to drink.

Are there other paper straws available on the market?

Yes and they are largely popular within consumers but the vast majority do not stand the test of time, becoming soggy quickly but most importantly, they don't have the ecological benefits of our straws, such as being biodegradable, compostable, free of toxins and FSC & SCS certified as produced from sustainably managed

forests.
