Paper Drinking Straws

Paper straws have become the top choice for those seeking an eco-friendly solution without compromising on convenience. As traditional disposable plastic straws disappear, biodegradable materials have made a strong entry into the market and are starting to be appreciated by consumers.

Paper straws comply with European regulations on single-use products, and also offer a more responsible and modern image. In bars, cafés, catering services or celebrations, biodegradable straws have already gone beyond the eco-friendly trend to become the norm.

At Monouso, we offer a wide variety of paper straws in different colours, shapes, and decorations so you can choose the most suitable ones for your event or business.

How to Choose the Right Biodegradable Straws

Paper straws are a simple and responsible choice that helps reduce environmental impact without compromising service quality.

If you're looking for an effective way to eliminate single-use plastics from your daily routine, this is the best option. Here are some key aspects to consider when choosing them:

  • The type of drink: The thicker the beverage, the wider the straw should be.
  • Usage time: For longer durability, opt for reinforced cardboard straws.
  • Style of the venue or event: Choose between neutral, elegant tones or bolder designs depending on the atmosphere and message you wish to convey.
  • Presentation format: For hygienic take-away options, prioritise individual wrapping.

With these points in mind, it will be much easier to select the biodegradable straws that best suit your business or event.
