COMPOSTABLE
SUGARCANE STRAW MANUFACTURER

Compostable straws serve as eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plastic ones. Crafted from renewable resources, sugarcane, these straws are both biodegradable and compostable, breaking down into nutrient-rich compost within a specific timeframe without leaving harmful residues. Sugarcane-based compostable straws provide a sustainable solution to single-use plastics, promoting environmental health while offering a convenient drinking experience.

Sugarcane straws decompose naturally through a process called composting. When exposed to enough heat, moisture, and microorganisms in a composting environment, the organic materials in the plant-based straws break down into nutrient-rich compost. This compost can then be used to enrich soil in gardens or agricultural fields, contributing to a sustainable ecosystem.

No, biodegradable and compostable are not the same concepts, but several compostable products, like sugarcane straws, are 100% biodegradable straws.

Biodegradable materials break down naturally over time, regardless of the environment, into smaller components through microbial action. In a broader sense, plastics and paper can also be seen as biodegradable. In contrast, compostable materials undergo decomposition specifically in a composting environment, producing non-toxic byproducts beneficial for soil. While biodegradation occurs at varying rates, composting conditions are controlled, ensuring efficient breakdown within a set timeframe that 90% of the compostable products can be decomposed within 180 days.

So, in the debate of compostable vs biodegradable, compostable materials stand out as they are designed to break down more efficiently within a certain timeframe, also contributing to soil health and sustainability.

Yes, Renouvo's commitment to eco-friendliness extends to its packaging materials, which are also compostable. By opting for compostable packaging, Renouvo ensures that its entire product lifecycle, from production to disposal, aligns with sustainable practices.

No, sugarcane straws are not edible. Although they are crafted from natural materials extracted from sugarcane residue and can fully decompose, they are solely intended for use as drinking straws. It is not recommended to consume sugarcane straws after use. Simply discard them, and they will naturally decompose, posing no harm to the environment.
