Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Seaside Sip," a popular beachfront café in Newquay, was looking for an eco-friendly straw that could withstand a busy summer season and match their bright, coastal theme. They replaced their plain white paper straws with the Beaumont striped ones.
"Our customers absolutely love the new straws! We've had so many positive comments about the cheerful design, and people are pleased to see we're using compostable products. They're much sturdier than our previous ones and really add to the holiday vibe we want to create."
Laura Jennings – Owner
The switch led to a noticeable increase in positive social media mentions regarding their commitment to sustainability and attention to detail.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Storing and Displaying
- Keep the straws in their original box until needed to protect them from dust and dirt.
- Store the box in a cool, dry place away from any moisture or humidity to maintain their rigidity.
- Use a clean, dry straw dispenser on your bar or counter for hygienic and easy access for staff or customers.
- Ensure dispensers are refilled regularly during quieter periods to keep service flowing smoothly.
Best Practice and Disposal
- These straws are designed for single use only; please do not reuse them.
- They perform best in cold or chilled drinks like juices, sodas, and cocktails.
- Dispose of used straws in your food waste or compost bin if you have commercial composting facilities.
- If not, they can be placed in general waste, where they will biodegrade far faster than plastic alternatives.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do these straws go soggy quickly?
A: These Beaumont straws are made from high-quality paper designed to be more durable than cheaper alternatives. In a typical cold drink, they hold their shape well for the duration of the drink.
Q: Are they suitable for hot drinks?
A: We recommend using these straws primarily for cold beverages. Like all paper straws, prolonged exposure to high heat can cause them to soften more quickly.
Q: What does '6mm bore' mean?
A: The 'bore' is the diameter of the hole. A 6mm bore is the standard size for regular liquids like fizzy drinks, juices, and water. It's not ideal for very thick drinks like smoothies.
Q: Are the straws individually wrapped?
A: No, this is a bulk pack of 250 unwrapped straws, designed for quick access in a busy bar or café environment. They come neatly packed in a cardboard dispenser box.
Q: Do they have any taste?
A: No, they are made from food-grade paper and are completely tasteless and odourless, so they won't affect the flavour of your drinks.
Q: What are they made from?
A: They are made from 100% sustainably sourced wood pulp, making them a natural and eco-friendly choice.
Q: How should I dispose of them?
A: The best way is in a commercial compost bin. If that's not available, they can go in your general waste, where they will biodegrade naturally over time.
Q: Are these compostable paper straws (pack 250) suitable for a mobile catering van?
A: Absolutely. Their sturdy nature and the convenient bulk pack make them an excellent and reliable choice for mobile caterers, festivals, and food trucks.

Explore more from BeaumontBeyond the Bin: What 'Compostable' Really Means for Your Business
You see 'biodegradable' and 'compostable' on packaging all the time, but what's the actual difference? Biodegradable simply means an item will break down into smaller pieces over time with the help of microorganisms. Compostable goes a step further. A compostable product, like these straws, breaks down into non-toxic, natural elements. In the right conditions (like an industrial composter), it becomes humus—a fancy word for nutrient-rich soil. Think of it like this: an apple core is compostable; it returns to the earth to help things grow. These straws are the apple core of the drinks world, designed to complete a natural cycle rather than just sit in a landfill.
Who Should Buy This?
- Cafés & Coffee Shops: A fantastic choice for iced coffees, teas, and soft drinks, these disposable straws for cafes are a must.
- Pubs & Bars: The perfect eco-friendly partner for serving Pimm's, cocktails, and mixers with a bit of flair.
- Dessert Parlours & Juice Bars: Strong enough for milkshakes and smoothies, with a fun look that kids and adults will love.
- Restaurants & Diners: An essential stock item for table service, offering a sustainable alternative for all cold catering paper drinks.
