Overview:

The PLA Spoon Straw is a versatile, eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastic straws, specifically designed for thick beverages like smoothies, milkshakes, and frozen drinks. Made from PLA (Polylactic Acid), a biodegradable and compostable material derived from renewable plant-based resources such as corn starch, this straw offers the functionality of both a straw and a spoon in one convenient product. Its sturdy design and spoon-like shape at the end make it ideal for scooping and sipping thick drinks, making it a perfect choice for cafes, juice bars, and restaurants committed to sustainability.
