Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Pier View Parlour, a popular ice cream and milkshake bar in Aberystwyth, wanted to move away from plastic disposables to align with their seaside community's values. They needed a straw that was not only eco-friendly but could also handle their signature milkshakes and look good in photos for social media.
"Our customers have been asking for a plastic alternative for ages. We tried a few brands that went mushy instantly. These Beaumont straws are different – they hold up really well, and the blue stripe just screams 'seaside'. The feedback has been brilliant."
Owen Davies – Owner
The switch resulted in a 100% elimination of single-use plastic straws and a noticeable increase in positive online reviews mentioning their eco-friendly efforts.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Storing & Displaying
- Keep the straws in their original box in a cool, dry cupboard until needed.
- Avoid storing them in damp areas or direct sunlight, which can weaken the paper.
- Use a clean, dedicated straw dispenser on your bar or counter for hygienic access.
- Ensure hands are clean when refilling dispensers to maintain food safety standards.
Best Use & Disposal
- These straws perform best in cold drinks; we don't recommend them for hot beverages.
- They are designed for single use only. Please do not wash or reuse them.
- As they are biodegradable, they can be disposed of in commercial compost or general waste bins.
- Always check with your local council for specific commercial waste and composting guidelines.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these blue and white paper straws 8 inch suitable for thick milkshakes?
A: With a 6mm bore, they are best suited for thinner liquids like sodas, juices, and cocktails. For very thick shakes, we'd recommend a straw with a wider bore.
Q: How long will they last in a cold drink before going soft?
A: They are designed to remain sturdy for the average time it takes to enjoy a cold beverage, typically around 30-45 minutes, before they naturally begin to soften.
Q: Are these straws fully biodegradable?
A: Yes, they are made from paper and will break down naturally, making them fully biodegradable and a great eco-friendly choice.
Q: Can I use them in hot drinks like coffee or tea?
A: It's not recommended. Paper straws lose their rigidity much faster in hot liquids. They are designed and tested specifically for cold beverages.
Q: Is the ink on the stripes safe?
A: Absolutely. Beaumont uses only certified food-grade, natural inks and glues, so they are completely non-toxic and safe for use in drinks.
Q: Are the straws individually wrapped?
A: No, this is a bulk pack where the 250 straws are unwrapped inside a dispenser box, making them perfect for quick service in a bar or café setting.
Q: What does 'sustainably sourced paper' mean?
A: It means the paper comes from forests that are managed responsibly to prevent deforestation and ensure a continuous, renewable supply for the future.
Q: Will they fit my current straw dispenser?
A: With a standard 6mm diameter, they are compatible with most commercial straw dispensers designed for unwrapped straws.

Explore more from BeaumontMore Than Just Paper: Why 'Food-Grade' Inks & Glues Matter
Ever had a paper straw that leaves a weird taste in your drink? That's often down to the bits you can't see: the inks and glues. Not all disposables are created equal. The term 'food-grade' is your assurance that every single component—from the paper fibre to the glue binding it and the ink making that lovely blue stripe—is tested and certified completely safe for contact with beverages. Think of it like this: you wouldn't wrap your sandwiches in newspaper because the ink isn't safe to eat. The same logic applies here. Beaumont's commitment to using food-grade materials means your customers get the pure, untainted taste of their drink, with no unwanted chemical extras. It’s a crucial detail that ensures safety and quality in every sip.
