17 Jul 2019 --- BillerudKorsnäs has launched a functional 180° bendable straw made out of paper in collaboration with The Paper Straw Co. The latter will produce the U-Bend straw in Manchester, UK, and the US for individual drink cartons such as juice, milk and water. Made from BillerudKorsnäs’ shapeable patented paper – FibreForm – the collaboration says the patent-pending U-Bend has the potential for long-term market success and extensive, positive environmental impact.
