Serve your refreshments with the ultimate sustainable approach using Restaurantware's Biodegradable Natural Hay Drinking Straws. Our biodegradable and natural hay straws are carefully made from the stems of the wheat plant that remain after farmers harvest their crops. We collect these all-natural wheat stems, neatly trim them to size, and thoroughly clean them in a special triple-sanitation process. These natural straws are entirely biodegradable and commercially compostable. And unlike paper straws, these hay straws are made from a naturally water-resistant material -- so your straws won't get soggy! The best biodegradable straws on the market, these natural hay straws are great for serving lemonades, iced teas, waters, mixed drinks and more! Each of these biodegradable straws measures around 7.9 inches in length. Due to natural variations in the wheat plant, each biodegradable drinking straw is unique in size, shape, and color. Sold in a 1,000 count box. This item will only degrade outside of the traditional solid waste stream.
