For Individuals

Perfect for parties, family gatherings, or everyday use at home. Naturally compostable and ready for use without washing or maintenance.

Production Process

Wheat straws are made entirely from natural wheat stems, making them fully biodegradable. Workers collect the stems based on their size: length and diameter, sorting them accordingly. The outer husk of the stems is then peeled off and sent for the first wash.

 

In this stage, the stems are cleaned with fresh water and left to dry naturally. When the stems reach about 30% moisture, they are sent to the special cutting machine. After cutting, the wheat stems are collected according to the buyer’s requirements. The stems then go for a second wash, where boiled, filtered water is used.

 

Finally, the wheat straws are dried in a dryer, and once fully dried, they are placed in a cupboard for sterilization, where ozone is used for this process. It is essential for staff to wear gloves during the measuring process after sterilization.

 

The bundles are placed in boxes, which are stored in a cool and dry place. During the packaging process, a final quality check is performed, and the straws are placed in the box, one by one per bundle.

Production Process

1st Step: Harvesting
Farmers manually harvest the mature grass, ensuring it meets the specified size requirements.

 

2nd Step: Washing
After harvesting, the grass is thoroughly washed with water to remove any impurities. Workers process the grass in a sterilized environment.

 

3rd Step: Cutting
The cutting machine is set to chop the grass into 20 cm pieces.

 

4th Step: Cleaning
A special tool is used to clean the interior of the grass to remove any remaining impurities. The grass is then washed again before the drying process.

 

5th Step: Washing Again
After the last traces of impurities are removed, the grass is washed once more before drying.

 

6th Step: Drying
The straws are dried in an oven until their moisture content is minimized.

 

7th Step: Sanitization
The dried straws are moved to a room where they undergo sanitization using UV radiation (removing bacteria and mold).

 

8th Step: Inspection and Packaging
After drying and sanitization, workers perform a quality check on the straws and package them according to customer requirements.

Food-grade paper is used, often from recycled or FSC-certified paper, specifically designed to withstand moisture.

 

Adhesion with Natural Glues
The paper sheets are coated with safe, non-toxic glue suitable for food contact.

 

Spiral Wrapping
The paper is tightly wrapped in a cylindrical shape around a metal or plastic mold, forming the body of the straw.

 

Drying and Cutting
Once thoroughly dried, the straw is cut to the desired length, usually 19–20 cm.

 

Quality Control & Packaging
Before packaging, the straws are inspected for stability and cleanliness. They are packaged either in bulk or individually wrapped, ready for use.

Production Process
  • Bamboo is cut and left to dry naturally under the sun for several days before being transported to the workshop. There, it is cut into the appropriate sizes and then shaped into smaller, smoother pieces.

 

  • After the bamboo stalks are cut from their natural form, they are trimmed into suitable lengths for straws. Once cut, the pieces are sanded (with sandpaper), filed, and engraved to achieve a smooth, natural finish.
Care Instructions

To keep the bamboo straw in excellent condition:

• Rinse with lukewarm water after use
• Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture
• Allow it to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area
• Optionally, disinfect periodically with a little vinegar or boiling water
• Store in a dry place
