PAPER: Spirit offers biodegradable and compostable paper straws. The straws are sturdy and long lasting in cold drinks. Customers immediately recognize that the business serving their beverages with a paper straw or sip/stir is environmentally conscious. Our straws are certified compostable by the Pacific Northwest's leading organic recycling company.

BIO PLASTICS: We offer two different categories of bio plastics; degradable plastic and starch-based plastic.

Degradable Plastic: Our full line of straws and sip stirs are available in degradable plastic, with the exception of flex and novelty straws. Degradable plastic straws differ from traditional plastic (polypropylene) straws because they are manufactured with an additive that enables them to naturally degrade when exposed to moderate heat or light and oxygen. The additive is compliant to FDA and CFIA food safety standards and is environmentally safe.

Starch-Based Plastic: We are proud to offer our top-selling products manufactured in PLA. This biodegradable plastic is derived from corn starch, which is a renewable resource. The following products are available in this material and can be produced in most any plastic color except crystal:
