Plastic-free Drinking Straws for Everyone
A sustainable drinking straw that is in no way inferior to a classic plastic straw without being made of plastic. With this mission, we have founded #IAMPLASTICFREE in 2017. Can't we? There you go! Our straws are largely made of renewable starch, obtained from biogenic waste materials, such as potato peelings, as well as calcium, magnesium, and fibers, which serve as stabilizers. This means that our drinking straws are free of plastic, without losing the positive properties of a plastic straw, such as flexibility and breakage resistance - made in Europe.
Drinking Straw made of Potato Peelings
Two-thirds of the drinking straws are consist of starch, which is obtained from biogenic waste materials such as potato peelings.
Mineral Stabilizers
To give the drinking straw its flexibility and at the same time structure, a mix of calcium, magnesium, and fibers is used.
Free of microplastic and Co.
Our straws are 100 percent industrially compostable, contain no plastic components and do not produce harmful microplastics.

IT IS TIME FOR PLASTIC FREE STRAWS
A drinking straw that is not made of plastic but is in no way inferior to a plastic straw - we have developed the alternative to the plastic straw. Our drinking straws are made without petroleum-based plastic. Instead, we use sustainable and, to a large extent, renewable resources. The basis for this is starch from potato peel, corn or sugar. The plants come from EU cultivation and are not genetically modified. Furthermore, we only use plants that are no longer available for the production of food or animal feed.
There are many alternatives for disposable plastic drinking straws, but none can even come close to replacing the positive properties such as flexibility and break resistance. While paper straws usually yield and dissolve while drinking, bamboo straws are only much more expensive. With reusable straws, the additional effort of washing them as well as the high one-off costs is a popular argument for not using them. Our starch-based drinking straws offer a sustainable and attractively priced alternative once and for all.
A positive environmental balance can only be achieved if the product is designed and manufactured according to the "from cradle to grave" principle. Our straws are manufactured, produced and ideally also composted in Europe. This corresponds 100 percent to this sustainable concept.
