Sephra ECO Plant-Fibre Straws 12×210mm
Sephra ECO Straws are made from natural wheat fibre and starch, offering a sustainable, eco-friendly alternative to plastic straws. These 12×210mm plant-fibre straws are perfect for bubble tea, smoothies, milkshakes, and drinks with toppings like popping boba or tapioca pearls. Unlike paper straws, they provide the strength and feel of plastic, making them more comfortable for drinking without the worry of sogginess.
These straws are compostable and biodegradable — they break down naturally, helping your business reduce its carbon footprint without sacrificing quality. Perfect for cafés, bubble tea shops, and dessert parlours, these straws provide a more sustainable way to serve your drinks while meeting eco-conscious consumer demand.
Compostable and Biodegradable
The terms biodegradable and compostable are often used interchangeably, but they have distinct meanings.
• Biodegradable refers to materials that can break down naturally through biological processes over time, but it could take years to fully decompose, and the process might leave behind harmful residues.
• Compostable, however, means a product is designed to break down in a composting environment (like a compost heap or commercial composting facility), typically within 3–6 months, leaving no harmful residues and turning into nutrient-rich compost.
Sephra ECO Straws are compostable under industrial composting conditions (85°C - 90°C) and will break down within 180 days, meeting ASTM D6400 and EN 13432 standards. While ideal for industrial composting, they may still break down in home composting conditions, but the process will be slower.
Durable, Sturdy, and Comfortable
Sephra ECO Straws are designed to be stronger than paper straws, lasting longer without becoming soggy in cold drinks. They have a smooth, neutral texture, feeling closer to plastic than paper, which provides a comfortable, consistent experience for your customers. These straws are durable enough to withstand thicker drinks and toppings like popping boba, ensuring your customers enjoy their drinks without interruption.
Eco-Friendly Alternative to Plastic
Switching to Sephra ECO Straws means you’re replacing plastic straws with a more sustainable plant-based option. They help reduce plastic waste and offer an environmentally responsible solution, all while keeping your drinks looking and tasting great.

Q: What are these straws made from?
A: Sephra ECO Straws are made from natural wheat fibre and starch, bonded with a water-based adhesive. They are fully compostable and biodegradable.
Q: Are these straws stronger than paper straws?
A: Yes. Unlike paper straws, which often soften quickly in drinks, these plant-fibre straws hold their shape for longer and provide a sturdier drinking experience.
Q: What do these straws feel like?
A: Sephra ECO Straws are smooth and sturdy, with a neutral feel in the mouth. They are closer to plastic than paper, without the scratchy texture or sogginess of paper straws. They don’t transfer taste, making them comfortable for most customers, including those sensitive to textures.
Q: Are they suitable for bubble tea toppings like popping boba?
A: Yes. At 12mm wide, they are perfect for popping boba, tapioca pearls, fruit jellies and other bubble tea toppings.
Q: Are they compostable?
A: Yes. These straws are fully compostable and biodegradable under standard composting conditions, breaking down naturally without leaving harmful waste.
Q: Do these straws contain gluten?
A: The straws are made using wheat fibre and starch, so they may contain trace amounts of gluten. Although they are food-contact products (not meant for direct consumption), they have been tested for protein residues, including gluten, and have passed the SGS Protein Residue test at 10 PPM. However, those with gluten sensitivities should still consider the possibility of trace amounts.
Q: Can these straws be used in hot drinks?
A: Sephra ECO Straws are designed for use with cold drinks, such as bubble tea, smoothies, and milkshakes. While they are durable and hold up well in colder beverages, they may soften in hot liquids (above 60°C). For hot drinks, we recommend using straws made specifically for high temperatures, such as stainless steel or reusable glass straws.
Q: What’s the difference between biodegradable and compostable?
A: Biodegradable products break down naturally over time but may take years to fully decompose and leave harmful residues. Compostable products break down much faster (typically within 180 days) in composting environments into nutrient-rich compost, leaving no harmful waste. Sephra ECO Straws are compostable and meet ASTM D6400 and EN 13432 standards, ensuring they break down quickly in industrial composting conditions.
