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:
Break down in 30–60 days into nutrient-rich compost—no microplastics, just nature’s cycle.
Are FDA-approved for safe use with any drink, hot or cold.
Stay strong for 2+ hours, perfect for iced lattes, thick smoothies, or boba tea.
What Makes Corn Next Special?
1. Truly Eco-Friendly
Unlike bioplastics that need industrial composting, Corn Next straws decompose naturally anywhere—from your backyard to a landfill or even the ocean, leaving zero harm behind.
2. Flavorful and Fun
- Natural flavor infusions like mango, raspberry, or mint elevate your drink without synthetic additives.
- Bright, bold colors add a playful vibe, making them a hit with kids, cafes, and Instagram feeds.
3. Affordable and Adaptable
- Priced at $0.06–$0.10 per straw, they’re competitive with brands like Aardvark and Footprint.
- Available in sizes from 5” to 10”, ideal for everything from cocktails to bubble tea.
4. Riding the Market Wave
- The global straw market is set to reach $150 billion by 2032, fueled by plastic bans in 25+ U.S. states and 50+ countries.
- Targets major food chains (Starbucks, Dunkin’), retailers (Walmart, Amazon), and institutions like schools and hospitals.
