PP (polypropylene) straws offer a more durable experience than paper straws, especially when it comes to cold drinks. They retain their structure and smooth mouthfeel throughout the entire beverage, even in iced drinks or smoothies.
Paper straws, while more eco-friendly, often begin to soften or lose shape after 20–30 minutes of use—particularly in cold or carbonated beverages. In contrast, PP straws maintain firmness without absorbing liquid or collapsing, making them ideal for high-volume foodservice operations that prioritize performance.
For restaurants and beverage brands seeking a better customer experience without the sogginess, PP straws remain a reliable option.
