Our production

Our raw material: sugar cane
Unlike trees, the growth cycle of sugarcane is much shorter. Its use will significantly reduce the damage usually caused by disposable tableware.

Sugar cane harvest
STEP 1 :
This initial step begins with the selection of ripe sugar canes from sustainable plantations. The canes are cut manually or using machines, ensuring that the integrity of the plant is preserved for future harvests, which supports a sustainable growth cycle.

Juice extraction (for sugar and rum)
2nd step :
Once harvested, the canes are transported to a processing center where they are pressed to extract the juice. This juice is then used to produce sugar and rum. The extraction processes are to obtain the maximum juice, and will leave residue behind.

Recovery of production residues (fibers)
Step 3:
After extracting the juice, the fibrous residues, called bagasse, are recovered. Straws-Berry uses these fibers, which are usually considered waste, transforming them into a valuable resource for straw manufacturing.

Transformation of fibers into sustainable material
Step 4:
Through a natural process we transform these fibers into a usable raw material. This process includes breaking down the fibers into smaller particles for easier handling during straw production.

Creating the straws
Step 5:
In collaboration with the largest biomaterials laboratories, Straws-Berry has developed a unique recipe to transform these residues into straws. This process uses advanced technologies to mix the fibers with natural and eco-friendly binders, ensuring the durability and safety of the straws for food use. The straws are then molded and cut to the desired size.

Straw compost
Step 6:
After use, the straws can be composted. They are designed to degrade quickly under composting conditions, supporting the concept of the circular economy.

Production cycle
Step 7:
The compost generated can be used to enrich soils, helping to complete the production cycle. This milestone highlights Straws-Berry’s commitment to sustainability and supporting regenerative agricultural practices.
