Aardvark 7.75" Wrapped Black Jumbo Paper Straws

PRODUCT DETAILS Aardvark paper straws were introduced in 2007 in response to a growing anti-plastic movement. Parent company Precision Products Group, Inc., created an environmentally friendly straw based off the original paper straw invented in 1888 by Marvin Stone. Today, Aardvark offers printed straws, cake pop sticks and bendable Eco-Flex® paper straws that are both earth and marine friendly, food safe, durable, customizable and made in the USA. Aardvarks products provide a sustainable, alternative solution to plastic straw use. Made in the USA with about 30 percent more material than other paper straw brands, Aardvarks durable straws help reduce plastic pollution by decomposing in just 45-60 days. All Aardvark products, being made of paper, are naturally degradable and will compost with no added chemicals or harmful dyes used in the manufacturing process. Aardvark is the only brand on the market thats BPA-free, food safe, and FDA/EU compliant. Not only are plastic straws bad for our ocean, but they are also harmful to humans. Bisphenol A (BPA), commonly found in plastic straws, is a chemical building block used to make polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resins. Studies have linked BPA to hormone disruption, increased breast and prostate cancer cell growth, and early onset puberty, and obesity. In the US alone we use 500 million plastic straws each day. Per year we use over one BILLION plastic straws. Thats a lot of plastic straws and a lot of very unhappy sea turtles, fish, seabirds, seals, sea lions and even whales and dolphins.
