EcoPreps Biodegradable Sugarcane Disposable Straws, Plastic-Free, 150 Count

These straws are awesome. They don't break down and stay sturdy in cold drinks. They're not cute per se, but they're durable and easy to drink from. Good value and good for the environment.

These hold up way better than other paper straws I’ve used. They don’t get soggy as quickly, but keep in mind that they are basically paper so they don’t hold up like plastic. BUT, they’re not plastic so I’m cool with it. Good straws.

Love these straws. I've tried a few bamboo and these don't collapse in my warm/hot drinks! No flavor, hold up just like plastic. Great product!

These straws are strong and sturdy and amazing. I absolutely love that this company has created biodegradable straws that don't fall apart in your mouth. In fact, I use them sometimes all day in various drinks. I absolutely love them and want to support them any way that I can.

I bought these straws to make a shelter for Mason bees to use to lay their eggs. This species lays one egg at a time, and seals it off inside its own chamber, with mud. The solitary female Mason bees like places of the right diameter, to lay their eggs. Straws will work well. I bought a premade shelter, last year, and this year, bought the straws to make an inexpensive homemade bee home. The Mason bees are native to this area, and don’t sting, because after they lay their eggs, they leave them to hatch on their own, so they have no territory to protect. The remaining straws are great for iced drinks, and hold up well. When discarded, they will naturally decompose, so they can go in the composting bin. Inexpensive, and useful to humans who need straws. These are preferable to plastic straws, which become forever garbage. Secondly, they are great for making Mason bee habitat. This would be a fun project, even with a young child, as a way to teach kids about different species of bees we have, and how to help protect them. A project like this is one a child will remember, because he or she is actually able to do it, then later, see it used by Mason bees which will find it. Amazing that inexpensive straws made from biodegradable bamboo, can be used to help kids learn how to protect the environment! I still remember the basic principles about how weather instruments work, because my mom helped me make home-made ones from household materials, when I was in the third grade! These straws, made of bamboo, are just the right stiffness and sturdy enough to be comfortable to use in an iced drink, and also help the environment, by avoiding plastics, and if you’re adventuresome, to use to make your own backyard Mason bee home! (Tip: put the straws in a clean, used can, to protect the straws, and tipped down, so rainwater will drain off, and attach the bee home off the ground, close to flowering plants. Also keep an area close by, where the ground is watered, for the Mason bees to harvest mud to seal off each egg they lay. It’s fun to check back, throughout the summer, and find that bees actually will find the bee home and use it!)
