Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
'The Salty Dog' pub in Whitby was looking for a cost-effective way to eliminate single-use plastics from their service to appeal to their environmentally-conscious seaside customers. They replaced their entire stock with the Beaumont CZ617 paper straws.
"Our customers absolutely love the look of these straws. We’ve had so many positive comments. They’re sturdy, look the part, and it shows we’re doing our bit for the coastline. It’s a small detail, but it makes a real difference to how people see us."
Robert Miller – General Manager
The switch contributed to a noticeable increase in positive online reviews mentioning the pub's atmosphere and eco-friendly efforts.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Store the carton in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent straws from sticking together or becoming soft.
- Use a clean, dedicated straw dispenser on your bar or counter to ensure hygienic and easy access for staff or customers.
- Keep the box sealed until you're ready to refill your dispenser to protect the straws from dust and debris.
Keeping It Going
- Dispose of used straws in your designated commercial food or compostable waste bin, not general waste.
- Advise customers to not leave straws soaking in drinks for excessively long periods to ensure the best performance.
- At the end of the day, wipe down your straw dispenser to maintain high hygiene standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do these paper straws get soggy quickly?
A: These are made from high-quality, sturdy paper designed to hold their shape in cold drinks for a reasonable amount of time, offering a much better experience than cheaper alternatives.
Q: Are they suitable for hot drinks?
A: We recommend using these straws for cold beverages only. Hot liquids can cause the paper to soften much faster.
Q: What does a 6mm bore mean?
A: The 'bore' is the diameter of the hole. 6mm is a standard size, perfect for thin liquids like soda, juice, and water, but not wide enough for very thick drinks like smoothies.
Q: Are the Beaumont CZ617 paper straws individually wrapped?
A: No, these straws come loose in a dispenser box, which makes them quick for staff to grab during busy service.
Q: Is the red and white colouring food-safe?
A: Yes, all materials and inks used are certified food-safe and non-toxic, complying with UK and EU standards.
Q: Can I recycle these straws?
A: While the paper itself is recyclable, most facilities won't accept food-soiled items. Their main environmental benefit is that they are commercially compostable.
Q: How long are these straws?
A: They are 198mm long (approximately 8 inches), making them a versatile fit for most standard bar and restaurant glassware.
Q: Are they completely plastic-free?
A: Yes, the straws are made entirely from paper, and they are packaged in a recyclable cardboard carton.

Explore more from BeaumontWhat Does 'Commercially Compostable' Really Mean?
You see 'compostable' on lots of products, but what does it mean for your business? Think of it like a high-speed, professional-grade version of your garden compost heap. These straws are designed to break down completely into natural elements, but they need the specific conditions—like high temperatures and microorganisms—found in an industrial composting facility.
For you, this means they can typically be disposed of in your commercial food waste collection bin, which is then taken to the right facility by your waste contractor. It's a simple way to divert waste from landfill, turning used straws back into nutrient-rich compost instead of long-term rubbish. Always check with your local waste provider, but it’s a powerful step towards a truly circular waste system.
