Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Perch Café, a bustling independent spot in Bristol, wanted to eliminate all single-use plastics to better reflect their eco-conscious brand ethos. They needed a straw that looked good, worked well, and was genuinely better for the environment.
"Our customers notice the little things. Switching to these kraft drinking straws for cafes showed we're serious about sustainability, and they hold up brilliantly, even in our popular iced coffees. We've had nothing but positive comments since we made the change."
David Chen – Owner, The Corner Perch Café
The café noted a 15% increase in positive online reviews mentioning their green initiatives within three months of the switch.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Storing and Handling
- Keep straws in their original packaging until ready for use to maintain hygiene.
- Store the box in a cool, dry place away from any moisture or direct sunlight.
- Use a clean, dedicated dispenser for easy access for staff or customers.
Disposing Correctly
- Place used straws in a dedicated food waste or compost bin, not general waste.
- To complete the eco-cycle, ensure your waste contractor takes food waste for commercial composting.
- Brief your staff on the correct disposal so everyone is on the same page.
- Always check your local council's specific guidelines for commercial waste.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will these straws go soggy quickly?
A: Thanks to their premium 3-ply paper construction, they are designed to resist softening for much longer than many single-ply alternatives, holding up well in most cold drinks.
Q: Are they suitable for hot drinks?
A: We recommend using these straws primarily for cold beverages like juices, sodas, and iced coffees to ensure the best performance.
Q: What does the 'Kraft' colour mean?
A: Kraft refers to the natural, unbleached brown finish of the paper, which gives it a popular rustic and eco-friendly appearance.
Q: Is the glue and ink used in the straws safe?
A: Absolutely. They are made with 100% food-grade, natural glues and inks, ensuring they are completely safe for your customers.
Q: Can I compost these in my garden compost bin?
A: These are certified for commercial composting, which uses higher temperatures to break them down quickly. Home composting conditions vary and may not be effective.
Q: What is the diameter of these straws?
A: They have a 6mm bore, which is the standard size for most drinks, from fizzy pop to cocktails.
Q: Are the straws individually wrapped?
A: No, these come loose in a dispenser box, which reduces packaging waste and makes them easy for staff to grab during a busy service.
Q: How do these compare to PLA plastic-alternative straws?
A: Paper straws like these break down more easily in the environment if they escape the waste stream. PLA requires very specific industrial composting conditions and won't break down in landfill or the ocean.

Explore more from FiestaWhat Does 'Commercially Compostable' Really Mean?
You see the term 'compostable' everywhere, but the EN13432 certification on these straws is what really matters. Think of it like a professional athlete versus someone who just jogs for fun. While many items might eventually biodegrade, these are specifically engineered to break down under the managed, high-heat conditions of an industrial composting facility. This process ensures that within 12 weeks, the straw fully decomposes into nutrient-rich compost, leaving no harmful residues behind. It guarantees a controlled, efficient end-of-life cycle, preventing it from just sitting in landfill like many other 'green' alternatives.
