Nature Bio Answers Questions about Our Innovations in Bioplastics

What does Nature Bio do?

For more than a decade, Nature Bio has been creating a cleaner world and a healthier global product marketplace.

We also provide our business partners with research, development and toll-manufacturing services for biobased materials and other applications.

Frequently asked questions about straws

Our sugarcane straws are made from sugarcane fibre and binders such as polylactic acid (PLA), which we extract from sugarcane and cassava. Of course, we also have straws that do not contain PLA（PLA FREE）. When requesting information or quotes, please note which version you desire.

Our Sugarcane Straws are guaranteed and third-party tested and certified to not contain the following plastics or plasticizers:
no polystyrene (PS)
no polyethylene (PE)
no polypropylene (PP)
no polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
no polyethylene terephthalate (PET, PETE)

Yes. Our Sugarcane Straws are certified to be 100% compostable.

As when any natural substance, it will start to slightly bend after some time in water, but don’t worry, our straws hold up for a few hours in room temperature or cold liquids!

They have no flavour whatsoever.

Our products are made in China.

Our multicolored rice straws are colored using fruit and vegetable extract, so are all natural! Our coconut, sugarcane and grass straws have no added coloring.

Our products do not actually expire. Any date codes seen on the products are indicated as best before dates and are placed on box to adhere to specific local production labeling requirements. Because all our products are made from natural materials, over time they may be prone to natural degradation effects such as discoloration, staleness or slight decline in sturdiness. However, all our products are 100% safe for use months and even years after the past end date. We hope you don’t hold on to our straws for too long though – they’re meant to be enjoyed versus as a decorative storage item!

Our NatureBio straws are able to be wrapped in the sugarcane and coffee varieties! Custom printed wrapped straws are available.

As all our products are made from natural and bio-based materials, they indeed are compostable at home. Compared to home composting, the products will break down much faster in an industrial composting facility where temperatures and conditions can be controlled. Hope that helps!
