ST-CS-J8 Jumbo Unwrapped Biodegradable Smoothie Straws - 8" - larger diameter 73/4-8" Long, 0.32" diameter, translucent in color 100 packs/6,000 count

The biodegradable drinking straws are made from PLA, a biodegradable resin made from corn starch. PLA resin is certified for biodegradability and compostability, under ASTM D6400-99 the North American standard for "compostable plastics".

The straws fully degrade into water, carbon dioxide and organic material when composted. There is no reason not to use compostable straws as compared to the petroleum based plastic ones.

The compostable straws come in packs of 100 and are both available individually wrapped or unwrapped.

Composting is required for biodegradation and these compostable straws will completely biodegrade within 90-180 days in a commercial composting facility, and can take up to a year to biodegrade in a home composting system.
