MORE ECO-FRIENDLY OPTIONS - Degradable Plastic Drinking Straws
In addition to paper drinking straws, Spirit offers degradable plastic straws as another eco-friendly alternative. They differ from traditional plastic (polypropylene) straws because they are manufactured with an additive that enables them to degrade when exposed to heat or sunlight and oxygen. Degradable plastic straws help eliminate plastic litter as well as reduce landfill space requirements. The additive is compliant to FDA and CFIA food safety standards and is environmentally safe.
Degradable plastic straws are a cost effective "green" product since they only cost about 15% more than regular plastic straws. Plastic colors may
vary slightly from our traditional straw offerings. Call Spirit toll free at 800-343-0996 for more information or speak to your local Spirit distributor for details.
