Corn Next is shaking up the sipping game with biodegradable straws made from cornstarch that blend sustainability with a splash of fun. Guided by the philosophy of "harmony with nature," these straws deliver a planet-friendly experience without sacrificing strength or style.
The Trouble with Traditional Straws
- Plastic straws add to the 500 million tons of ocean waste annually and linger for centuries.
- Bioplastic straws (PLA/PHA) often demand specialized composting facilities, limiting their eco-impact.
- Paper straws turn mushy fast, leaving users with a soggy sipping experience.
- Corn Next’s answer? Cornstarch-based straws that:
1) Break down in 30–60 days into nutrient-rich compost—no microplastics, just nature’s cycle.
2) Stay strong for 2+ hours, perfect for iced lattes, thick smoothies, or boba tea. CornNext-17 straws resist sogginess better than paper straws, addressing a common consumer complaint.
Why Corn Next Stands Out
- Genuinely Sustainable
Unlike bioplastics requiring industrial composting, Corn Next straws break down naturally in any environment—backyards, landfills, or oceans—leaving no trace or harm. - Vibrant and Tasty
Infused with natural flavors like blueberry, orange, lime, lemon, and strawberry, Corn Next straws offer a fun twist compared to standard PLA or paper straws. Their bright, bold colors appeal to kids, cafes, and social media enthusiasts. - Cost-Effective and Versatile
Priced at $0.06–$0.10 per straw, they compete with brands like Aardvark and Footprint. Available in 5.25” to 10.25” sizes, they suit everything from cocktails to bubble tea. - Tapping a Growing Market
With the global straw market projected to hit $150 billion by 2032, driven by plastic bans in 25+ U.S. states and 50+ countries, Corn Next targets major players and institutions like schools and hospitals. - Proudly Made in the USA
Sourced from local cornstarch, Corn Next supports American farmers and minimizes supply chain vulnerabilities.
