- Strong Performer: They hold their structure well in cold liquids during typical drinking times.
- Not for Thick Shakes: The 6mm bore is too narrow for very thick milkshakes or smoothies.

Best Practice & Disposal

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do these paper straws get soggy quickly?
A: These Beaumont straws are designed for durability in cold drinks. While any paper straw will eventually soften, these hold their structure well for the typical time it takes to finish a beverage.
Q: What is the exact length of these straws?
A: They are 198mm long, which is approximately 8 inches, making them a great fit for standard highball glasses and takeaway cups.
Q: Are they suitable for hot drinks?
A: We don't recommend using paper straws for hot drinks, as the high temperature will cause them to soften much more quickly. They are designed for use with cold beverages.
Q: Can I recycle them with my paper and card?
A: No, once used, straws are contaminated with food and drink residue. They should be disposed of in a commercial food waste bin to be composted, or in general waste if that's not an option.
Q: Are the straws individually wrapped?
A: No, these straws are unwrapped and come loose in a dispenser-ready box of 250.
Q: Is the 6mm bore wide enough for milkshakes?
A: The 6mm bore is best for thinner liquids like soda, juice, or iced tea. For thick milkshakes or smoothies, we recommend a wider smoothie straw (8mm+).
Q: What does 'commercially compostable' mean?
A: It means the straws will break down into natural elements in an industrial composting facility, which uses specific conditions to speed up the process. They are not suitable for home composting.
Q: Are they tasteless and odourless?
A: Yes, they are made from high-quality, food-safe paper and will not impart any taste or smell to your drinks.

You see 'compostable' on lots of products, but the 'commercial' part is key. Think of it like cooking: you can bake a potato in your oven at home, but a professional kitchen's high-powered oven does it faster and more efficiently. Commercial composting facilities are the professional kitchens of the recycling world. They use high temperatures, controlled moisture, and specific microorganisms to break down materials like these paper drinking straws 6mm quickly and safely into nutrient-rich compost. While they won't break down in your garden compost heap, they are designed to be properly processed by local authority waste services that handle food and garden waste, ensuring they don't end up in landfill.
