We first asked ourselves, how do we reduce global consumption of plastic? By starting at home, and that is where our story begins. The Veggie Straws are made out of, you guessed it, vegetable fibers. We do not use polymers, color coatings, or any weird materials. What you see is what you get. A vegetable fiber straw. It doesn’t need to go to compost to biodegrade you just need to throw it away in a trash container.
