WHAT'S NEW IN THE WORLD OF BIODEGRADEABLE STRAWS

Multi-use household items: toothpaste, biodegradable edible straws, tea and more!

Can plastic eating bacteria solve our problems?

There’s a plastic island twice the size of Texas floating around in our oceans. Who knows, perhaps it’s even bigger now. Our beaches are littered with plastic, and our landfills are chock full of the stuff.
