Biodegradability...

is a material’s capacity to be converted into carbon dioxide (CO2) through

the action of micro-organisms, under the same process occurring in

natural waste.

Disintegratability namely fragmentation and invisibility in

the f inal compost absence of visual contamination

Absence of negative ef fects on the composting process

Almost complete absence of heavy metals and the absence of

negative ef fects on compost quality

Compostability

is the capacity of an organic material to be transformed into compost

through the composting process This process exploits the biodegradability

of the initial organic materials to transform them into a f inished

product called compost This allows for the waste to add back to the

planet rather than detract from it

We believe in testing all our

products to our own as well as

industry standards. This is to make

sure all our products are best in

the market for how and why they

are used.

Paper straws are tested against:

• Liquid absorption of different

acidities and sugars

• Strength and diameter testing

• Durability with contact to

varying liquids

• Ink leakage into liquid after

set periods of time

• All Paper Straws are PFA free

We strive to make sure that our

straws that enter the market match

the level of quality we expect from

all Utopia products.
