Compostable Straw Solutions

Evanesce, a sustainable service ware company in the U.S., has officially started producing drinking straws that use Biodolomer, a compostable material derived from limestone. Biodolomer, designed by Gaia Biomaterials, will help many U.S. consumers swap to an eco-conscious alternative for plastic drinking straws, contributing to reduced plastic waste.

Biodolomer is certified for industrial composting by the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) for its U.S. projects and DinCertco, which operates in Europe. It is also FDA-authorized for safe food contact, enhancing its credibility.

“We are convinced that this product will encourage more companies to adopt solutions that allow their customers to enjoy their favorite beverages without the unpleasant aftertaste associated with conventional straws," said Peter Stenström, CEO of Gaia Biomaterials.
