Switching to PLA straws allows restaurants to offer a more eco-conscious alternative without sacrificing the feel of traditional plastic. PLA straws look and function similarly to plastic but are made from plant-based materials that are industrially compostable.
They are a great middle-ground for operators looking to reduce single-use plastic without compromising on guest experience. PLA straws are sturdy, heat-resistant, and ideal for cold drinks—especially in quick service or fast casual environments.
For restaurants focused on sustainability goals or subject to local plastic bans, PLA straws offer a smooth transition into greener operations.
