How it's made
Our raw material: biosourced plant fibre
Grown locally, our plant fibre renews quickly, without putting pressure on soils or forests. A responsible alternative that helps limit the impact of single-use products.
1/ A new era for our straws
For over two years, we used fibres recovered after sugar and rum production. Already a sustainable choice, since it gave agricultural by-products a second life.
But despite its qualities, that raw material was imported from far away — no longer in line with our vision of a more local, more responsible, more resilient production.
Today, we've moved to a French plant fibre, grown locally from low-impact crops. The same environmental standards, but with a much shorter supply chain.
LOCALLY AND RESPONSIBLY GROWN
Our new fibre comes from plants grown in France, selected for their technical qualities and low environmental impact. These crops need very little water, require no chemical fertilisers, and are grown on farms committed to biodiversity.
The result: a local, renewable raw material, perfectly in line with our environmental commitment.
Harvesting and sorting the plant fibres
Once the plants reach maturity, they are harvested and their fibres carefully extracted. These fibres, often treated as co-products or secondary materials in other industries, are given real value here.
They are then cleaned, sorted and prepared for the next steps. Nothing is wasted, everything is transformed.
Giving forgotten materials a new lease of life
Rather than ending up in landfill or incineration, these plant residues get a second life with us.
It's our way of putting the circular economy into practice: recovering what agriculture sets aside and turning it into a useful, reusable and compostable product.
Transformation into biosourced material
The plant fibres are ground down, refined and blended with a natural binder, in a process we've fine-tuned with expert partners in biomaterials.
The result is a robust, consistent material with no taste or odour — perfect for creating a premium straw that feels great to drink from.
Making the straws
The material is then extruded and moulded into straws, using our unique recipe, developed after hundreds of tests.
The result: a lightly frosted white straw, ultra tough, suitable for hot and cold drinks (-20 to +90°C), and compliant with the strictest food-safety standards.
Composting in natural conditions
After use, our straws can be composted in suitable facilities.
They break down within a few weeks without releasing any harmful substances. A clean end of life that respects the environment down to the smallest detail.
Back to the soil
The resulting compost can be used to enrich farmland. From plant to soil — via your glass — every Straws-Berry straw completes a truly virtuous cycle, built to last, locally.
