Alternatives to cardboard straws: which one should you choose for your establishment?
Cardboard straws, while eco-friendly, have their limitations. To provide a better customer experience, practical alternatives like Straws-Berry's organic straws are essential. In addition to straws, consider solutions like recyclable disposable cups, cutlery, or plates to further your eco-friendly approach.
Why replace cardboard straws?
Despite their environmental benefits, cardboard straws soften quickly and alter the taste of drinks. This is prompting establishments to opt for biodegradable or compostable alternatives, suitable for quality disposable tableware and compliant with new regulations banning single-use plastics.
With Straws-Berry, you can also explore sustainable solutions for your containers, cutlery, recycled plastic cups or compostable bags.
Alternatives available on the market
The market offers various options to replace cardboard straws, each meeting specific needs:
Bamboo straws
Bamboo straws are natural and reusable. They fit well with an eco-friendly approach, but their maintenance can be problematic. They are not always suitable for transparent drinks or intensive use in fast food restaurants.
Stainless steel straws
Reusable and sturdy, stainless steel straws are ideal for cocktails. However, their initial cost is high and they require careful cleaning. They are not suitable for takeout establishments with disposable tableware.
