Can you say “polyhydroxyalkanoate”? Honestly, we can’t really either, so we’ll introduce the newest substrate to our lineup as “PHA” instead. This bioplastic derived from canola oil has some pretty sweet environmental benefits – and we’ve used it to make straws in three different sizes.
- Made from renewable resources
- Made from PHA, a plant-based plastic derived from canola oil
- BPI-certified compostable
- ASTM D6400 compliant for compostability
- ASTM D6691 compliant for marine degradability (Ideally these straws should end their life at a commercial composting facility. However, in the unfortunate event they end up in the ocean, they are designed to be completely consumed by microorganisms leaving no microplastics behind.)
- Made in the USA
- Packaged in compostable PHA polybags
