Biodegradable PLA Straight Boba Tea Straws Made From Plant-Based Materials
Product Spotlights
At Wuhan Century Kingxin Co., Ltd., we are dedicated to providing sustainable packaging solutions that meet the growing demand for eco-friendly products. As a manufacturer established in 2018, we have quickly become a trusted supplier of Biodegradable PLA Straight Boba Tea Straws made entirely from plant-based materials. These straws are designed for businesses that care about the environment without compromising on quality or performance. Whether you are a bubble tea chain, a beverage distributor, or a retail brand, our PLA straws offer a guilt-free straw option that naturally breaks down in industrial composting facilities.
Our straws are manufactured from Polylactic Acid (PLA), a renewable polymer derived from corn starch or sugarcane. Unlike traditional plastic straws that persist for centuries, our PLA straws are designed to decompose under proper composting conditions, returning to the earth as water, carbon dioxide, and organic matter. They are durable enough for thick bubble tea drinks and boba pearls, yet gentler on the planet. Below are the key specifications and details:
| Specification | Details |

| Length Options | 21 cm (standard cup), 25 cm (large cup), custom lengths available |
| Diameter | 12 mm (wide enough for boba pearls, tapioca, fruit bits) |
| Color | Natural translucent white or custom color with eco-friendly pigments |
| Thickness | 0.5 mm – 1.0 mm (optional thick wall for extra strength) |
| Biodegradability | Compostable in industrial facilities (ASTM D6400 compliant) |
| Shelf Life | 2 years under normal storage conditions (dry, cool, away from direct sunlight) |
| Packaging | Bulk 1000 pcs/pack, retail box, or custom private label |
Product Features & Benefits:
- Plant-Based & Non-Toxic: Made from renewable resources, our straws contain no BPA, phthalates, or petroleum-based chemicals. Safe for both consumers and the environment.
- Strong & Durable: PLA material offers excellent strength and rigidity, allowing the straws to pierce through sealed cups and withstand thick smoothies or bubble tea without collapsing.
- Heat Resistance: PLA straws can withstand temperatures up to 45°C (113°F), making them suitable for iced beverages and room-temperature drinks. Note: not recommended for hot beverages above 60°C.
- Compostable Solution: Unlike plastic straws that take hundreds of years to degrade, our PLA straws break down within 90-180 days in industrial composting facilities, reducing plastic pollution.
- Wide Compatibility: The 12mm diameter perfectly fits standard boba pearls, jelly cubes, and fruit bits, ensuring customers can enjoy their drinks without clogging.
- Customizable Options: We offer custom lengths, colors, printing (brand logo), and packaging designs to match your brand identity. Minimum order quantity negotiable.
Our PLA straws are ideal for a variety of applications: bubble tea shops, coffee chains, juice bars, restaurants, catering services, and retail stores looking to transition to sustainable packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Are these straws suitable for hot drinks?
PLA straws have a lower heat resistance (up to 45°C). They are designed for cold and room-temperature beverages. For hot drinks (e.g., coffee above 60°C), we recommend using our paper straws or CPLA heat-resistant straws – please inquire for options. -
How long does it take for the straws to biodegrade?
Under industrial composting conditions (58°C, high humidity), our PLA straws typically degrade within 90 to 180 days. They will not biodegrade in a backyard compost pile due to lower temperatures. -
Can I get custom printing with my brand logo?
Yes, we offer custom printing using eco-friendly inks. Minimum order quantities apply – please contact our sales team for details. -
Do you have any certifications for biodegradable products?
Our products comply with ISO9001 quality management system, and our PLA material meets industrial compostability standards (e.g., ASTM D6400, EN13432). Certificates are available upon request. -
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
MOQ for standard straws is usually 100,000 pieces. For custom sizes or printing, MOQ may be higher. We are flexible for trial orders – feel free to discuss your needs. -
Are these straws safe for children?
Yes, PLA is non-toxic and food-safe. Our straws are manufactured in a hygienic environment and are safe for all ages. -
Can the straws be used with thick smoothies or milkshakes?
Absolutely. The 12mm diameter and sturdy PLA material allow smooth passage of thick liquids and small solid particles like fruit chunks. -
How should I store the straws to maintain quality?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. High temperature and humidity may cause PLA to soften or deform. Best storage temperature: 15-25°C.
