\u201eThere is clearly a great demand for our product, which fulfils the sustainability criteria and also offers outstanding user-friendliness. Like all Sulapac materials, the 100% straw is microplastic-free. It is designed to mimic nature - if it accidentally ends up in the sea, it behaves like a birch leaf and does not harm the ecosystem,\u201c explains Sulapac CEO\u00a0Suvi Haimi<\/b>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The straws are based on on a material innovation<\/strong> from Sulapac, for which a patent is pending. The main components are Renewable raw materials such as wood and plant-based binders<\/strong>. The straw is designed for recycling through industrial composting.<\/p>\n

\u201eThis renewable and biodegradable material can replace fossil materials and contribute to the fight against plastic waste. Our collaboration with Sulapac allows us to explore new types of innovative and scalable materials and expand our range of renewable solutions,\u201c explains Marcus Dehlin<\/b>, Head of Business Partnerships at Stora Enso.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the first phase, thehe straws in Europe<\/strong> and further launches will follow. The sustainable straws are produced using machines that were originally developed for the production of plastic straws, meaning that a Switching to the renewable variant is easy<\/strong> possible.<\/p>\n
