Sustainability That Doesn't Compromise
Made from rice. Returns to the earth in 90 days. No plastic, no chemicals, no compromise on your drinking experience.
The UK Banned Plastic Straws. But Paper Isn't the Answer.
In 2020, the UK banned single-use plastic straws — a huge step forward. But the replacement? Paper straws that go soggy in minutes, taste like cardboard, and often contain chemical adhesives to hold them together.
Paper straws still require trees to be felled, water-intensive pulping processes, and chemical bleaching. They're better than plastic, but they're far from perfect.
We knew there had to be a truly sustainable alternative that didn't ask people to put up with a worse experience.
Rice. The Ingredient You'd Never Expect.
Our straws are made from just two ingredients: rice flour and tapioca starch. That's it. No plastic polymers, no chemical coatings, no bleach, no glue.
Rice is one of the most abundant and renewable crops on earth. Our straws are produced in Vietnam — where rice farming is a way of life — using surplus rice flour that would otherwise go to waste.
The result is a straw that's strong enough to last 2+ hours in any drink, tasteless, odourless, and fully biodegradable. You could even eat it.
The Life of a Rice Straw
From paddyfield to compost — a full circle in 90 days.
Grown from Rice
It starts in the rice paddies of Vietnam. Surplus rice flour — a byproduct of the milling process — is combined with tapioca starch and water. No additional farmland needed, no deforestation, no chemical inputs.
Formed & Dried Naturally
The dough is extruded into straw shapes and air-dried using natural heat. No industrial ovens, no chemical hardeners. The process uses a fraction of the energy and water required to manufacture paper straws.
Used & Enjoyed
Each straw stays firm for 2+ hours in hot or cold drinks. No sogginess, no taste transfer, no colour bleed. It works exactly like a straw should — just without the environmental guilt.
Returns to the Earth
After use, toss it in the compost or food waste bin. Within approximately 90 days, it breaks down completely into organic matter. No microplastics, no toxic residue — just nutrients back into the soil.
The Environmental Credentials
Every detail designed with the planet in mind.
100% Biodegradable
Decomposes completely in approximately 90 days. No microplastics left behind — just organic matter that returns nutrients to the soil.
Fully Edible & Non-Toxic
Made from food-grade rice flour and tapioca starch. No chemical coatings, no adhesives, no bleach. Safe enough to eat.
Plastic-Free Straws
Not a single gram of plastic in our straws. Our food-grade packaging protects product freshness, and we're actively working toward fully plastic-free packaging solutions.
Vegan & Gluten-Free
No animal products, no gluten, no GMOs. Certified safe for all dietary requirements and allergy-conscious environments.
Low Carbon Footprint
Made from surplus rice flour using natural drying processes. Significantly lower energy and water usage than paper straw manufacturing.
Renewable & Abundant
Rice is one of the world's most plentiful crops. Our straws use byproduct flour — no additional farmland, no deforestation, no competition with food supply.
We don't believe sustainability should mean settling for less. A better straw for you. A better future for the planet.
