Straws made from marine biodegradable and compostable biomaterials

Sustainable, not soggy

Straws made with PHACT™ PHA offer a better, safer choice for both the environment and human health. PHACT PHA is a certified biobased, fully biodegradable material that safely breaks down in marine environments, soil ecosystems, and home or commercial composting facilities without leaving harmful residues or persistent microplastics.

PHACT™ PHA Grades and Compounds for Straws

Neat PHA grades

  • S1000P
    • Semi-crystalline neat PHA with high heat stability suitable for extrusion processes and general compounding with other biopolymers including amorphous PHA.
    • Certified industrially compostable by BPI and OK compost HOME & OK compost INDUSTRIAL by TÜV AUSTRIA
    • Certified OK biodegradable SOIL & OK biodegradable MARINE by TÜV AUSTRIA
  • A1000P
    • Amorphous neat PHA that is softer and more rubbery than scPHA and designed for use as a modifier to other polymers and biopolymers to improve mechanical properties, processing characteristics, and rates of biodegradation or composting.
