Compostable straws are a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic straws that break down into organic matter when exposed to composting conditions. These straws are made from biodegradable materials, such as polylactic acid (PLA), paper, and even wheat stems. Unlike plastic, which can take hundreds of years to decompose, compostable straws typically break down in a matter of weeks to months, making them a preferred choice for environmentally-conscious consumers and businesses alike.
