Biodegradable Plastic Drinking Straws
Flexible plastic straws made with Symphony’s d2w biodegradable technology are indistinguishable from regular plastic.
Our straws can be recycled with regular plastic if collected, but if they do escape collection and end up as litter in the environment on land or sea – they will degrade and biodegrade i.e. be a food source for fungi and bacteria in the same way as nature’s wastes, until there is nothing left.
The ban on plastic straws does not apply to people with medical needs or disabilities. Some disabled or elderly individuals require plastic straws for drinking and alternatives like paper or glass are often unsuitable or unsafe to use.
Care homes, hospitals, schools, prisons and other places of detention can supply single use plastic straws. Registered pharmacies are also allowed to sell plastic straws over the counter or on-line.
