Introducing the extra tall 9.8" paper wrapped skinny reed straw, a sophisticated and sustainable alternative for the foodservice and hospitality industry. Individually wrapped in a paper sleeve for convenience and hygiene, these eco-friendly straws are great for extra tall to-go drinks or for anyone that requires wrapped straws. Our line of reed stem drinking straws are made from the stems of the common reed plant (Phragmites australis), a naturally abundant, fast-growing plant that thrives in wetlands across the globe.  Reed is not only abundant but also biodegradable, ensuring that these straws leave minimal environmental footprint throughout their lifecycle. Furthermore, Reed plants are grown without the need for intensive farming, artificial irrigation, or chemical fertilizers. After use, our reed straws will naturally biodegrade on land or at sea, leaving no traces of harmful chemicals, microplastics, or residual waste. This stands in stark contrast to plastic and some bioplastic drinking straws, which can take up to 1,000 years to decompose
