We help companies eliminate single-use plastic waste. We do that by manufacturing the world's only water resistant paper straws™ that stay sturdy and last longer without falling apart.We are a registered Minority Business Enterprise with the Mountain Plains Minority Supplier Development Council and the State of Kansas.It was the Summer of 2018 when single-use plastic pollution was all the news. Television programs like "Blue Planet" documented the impact of single-use plastic on our environment. We all saw the images of the sea turtle with a plastic straw stuck in their nose. Those images made us think and ask ourselves how we could make a difference.At that time, there was only one paper straw manufacturer in the USA. So we decided to get into the business. We book flights to find all the necessary equipment needed to setup a paper straw factory.They say there are no coincidences in life.One morning during the trip, a man sat across the breakfast table. He was the creator and patent holder of a water resistant paper - the world's only water-resistant and grease-resistant food grade kraft paper. He told us how his paper was food safe, 100% recyclable, compostable and biodegradable and how it could be used to make paper straws that lasted longer.Soon thereafter, we began manufacturing water-resistant paper drinking straws™ at our Manhattan, KS, USA location. Our paper straws are FDA and EU Food Grade Compliant and safe for food use. They are sold under the Astraws® brand name.We sell to food and hospitality organizations across the USA.Using water-resistant paper straws means that your straw will last longer while sipping your favorite beverage. And you help rid the world of single-use plastic.We invite you to try our Astraws® brand paper drinking straws.
