Why choose Intrinsic Paper Straws?
Sustainable
Our straws are made from sustainably sourced materials which are biodegradable, thus offering a real eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastic straws.
Food Safe
All our printing inks are DFC (Direct Food Contact) approved and are compliant with BfR, EU (1935/2004, 10/2001) and US (FDA) regulations.
Long Lasting
Designed to deliver outstanding drink performance, ensuring shape and integrity of straw is retained for many hours and not fall part instantly.
Sip in Comfort
Product aesthetics (inc. touch / feel) carefully selected in order to create a premium drinking straw that looks great and comfortable on your lip.
All-Purpose
Whether it be fizzy drinks, smoothies, milkshakes or cocktails, our paper straws are fully functional for use with various cold beverages.
Reduced Impact
Paper is a natural fibre that disintegrates much more quickly than plastic, thus reducing their impact on the World around us.
