Smile Beverage Werks® Disrupts Single-Use Straw Market with Biodegradable Straw


Smile Beverage Werks® Disrupts Single-Use Straw Market with Biodegradable Straw

Darien, Connecticut, United States, Oct. 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intending to disrupt the single-use straw market, Smile Beverage Werks® introduces a plant-based plastic alternative. Unlike current substitutes with misleading claims of compostability, Smile’s eco straw is 100% home compostable certified through TÜV Rheinland DINCERTCO. Moving past simply eliminating plastic, the straw is free of petroleum, BPA, and PFAs – an impressive differentiator from current plastic-free straws. Best of all, Smile’s straw is a USDA biobased product and certified carbon neutral by ClimatePartner. Smile Beverage Werks® does not greenwash. We go the extra mile for third-party testing to ensure environmental claims and remove consumer confusion. 

Empowering businesses to reduce waste without sacrificing consumer enjoyment is what Smile Beverage Werks® is all about. To bridge consumer satisfaction and environmental concerns, Smile Beverage Werks® developed this biodegradable straw to be just as strong as plastic. Without going soggy like paper straws, Smile’s eco straw is super strong. For transparency, the straw underwent independent third-party testing following the internationally recognized standard NF T51-800 to ensure that the compost produced from the straw supports normal plant growth. 

“The innovative technology used to create our straws has the ability to alter the single-use plastic industry altogether,” says Co-Founder Frank Schuster. “These straws demonstrate the durability, effectiveness, and convenience of our plant-based material.”

Available in multiple colors and with or without paper covering, Smile’s eco straws can be bought online at SmileCoffeeWerks.com. Wholesale orders are always welcome.
