Wheat Straws Benefits with Pipet
Pipet are an Australian-based company that offers an extensive range of sustainable products for households, including silicone baking mats, silicone food bags, reusable food cover and drink bottles.
However, their most notable sustainable product is their wheat straws.
Today I will be outing some of the benefits of wheat straws, and why these should be high on your list when looking for sustainable products for your household.
100% natural and home compostable:
Traditional plastic straws unfortunately take up to 200 years to decompose, which causes massive environmental impacts to our oceans and marine life.
Wheat Straws from Pipet are thankfully home compostable and take around 6 weeks to break down in a home compost.
Suitable for hot and cold drinks:
Unlike their paper straw counterparts, Pipet wheat straws don’t absorb liquids or disintegrate when left in drinks.
Paper straws tend to lose their stiffness and bend when left in drinks for too long. Thankfully, wheat straws maintain their strength and can be used in hot or cold drinks.
Chemical Free:
Unlike traditional plastic and paper straws, The Pipet wheat straws are free of nasties and chemicals.
Plastic straws are generally made with a chemical called Polypropylene, which is a petroleum by-product and does not degrade in the environment. This chemical can also leach into your liquids, especially when exposed to heat.
When looking for sustainable products, straws are often an overlooked household item. Plastic straws are an incredibly devastating product for our environment that pollutes our oceans and waterways, as well as releasing chemicals into the soil, air and water when broken down into smaller plastic particles.
Thankfully, Pipet wheat straws are completely natural and 100% home compostable, meaning you can stress a little less the next time you enjoy that iced coffee.
