22 Nov 2022 --- Eco-Products has announced a new line of compostable straws made from plant-based plastic that are as durable as conventional straws. Made from polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), a plant-based plastic derived from canola oil, the straws are Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) certified compostable and meet the ASTM D6400 standard for compostability. “The straws provide the same performance as traditional straws but have some important environmental benefits because they are made from PHA,” Nicole Tariku, director of product development at Eco-Products tells PackagingInsights.
