Biodegradable straws are a practical and responsible choice for making school cafeterias more sustainable. Every day, thousands of students use disposable cups and tableware, so choosing eco-friendly products helps reduce waste and teach new generations the importance of respecting the environment.
Why choose compostable canteen straws
Canteens must guarantee safety, hygiene and practicality. Green straws are made from certified bioplastics or treated paper and offer strength and comfort of use without compromising on sustainability. Once disposed of, they decompose naturally, avoiding the accumulation of traditional plastic and contributing to a virtuous cycle of materials.
Eco-friendly straws for children: the advantages
For children, using eco-friendly straws means drinking in a practical and safe way, with materials certified for food contact.
For schools and institutions, on the other hand, it is an investment that combines compliance with European regulations on single-use plastics and consistency with educational programs dedicated to the environment. Straws thus become educational tools that teach, by example, the value of environmental responsibility.
Sustainable school straws: alternatives to traditional plastics
There are now numerous high-performance alternatives to single-use plastics. These include, for example, biodegradable straws made of reinforced paper that can withstand prolonged use, and bioplastic versions that maintain flexibility and comfort. All solutions are designed to offer the same practicality as conventional straws, but with a significantly reduced environmental impact.
