SOLVING THE PLASTIC PROBLEM STARTS WITH THIS STRAW
Products used for minutes shouldn’t be made to last 200 years or more—and now they aren’t.
phade® marine biodegradable, home and industrial compostable straws are the latest breakthrough in sustainable product innovation and they go away in just a matter of months. Click here to see phade, marine biodegradable, home and compostable staws breakdown in a marine environment in just 58 days.
The key to phade® is PHA (short for polyhydroxyalkanoate). It’s a substrate derived from the fermentation of canola oil that maintains the feel and user experience of traditional plastic, but that’s where the similarities end.
Unlike petroleum-based plastics that take 200+ years to go away, PHA is plant-based. PHA products are created from nature and designed to return to nature. So, while nearly every piece of traditional plastic ever made still sits somewhere spoiling our planet, phade offers a bio-based replacement with an honest, end-of-life solution that effectively combats the global plastics crisis.
How does it work? Science! Because of its organic make-up, PHA acts as an energy and food source wherever there is a significant presence of bacteria to devour it. This makes products like phade® marine biodegradable, home and industrial compostable, and have a lower greenhouse gas profile than traditional plastics. That’s a trifecta of eco-friendliness.
If we haven’t made it clear, PHA is a groundbreaking advancement in bio-based alternatives to traditional plastics. We owe it to our planet, and ourselves, to push for smarter alternatives like phade that can go away after use…sustainably returning to the earth.
