Amidst the global effort to reduce plastic waste, eco-friendly straws from Vietnam are emerging as a sustainable, innovative, and high-quality solution for the international Food & Beverage (F&B) and retail industries.
Leveraging its abundant agricultural resources, Vietnam offers several lines of naturally sourced straws that are completely biodegradable and absolutely safe for consumption.
1. VIETNAMESE ECO-FRIENDLY STRAW
Vietnamese manufacturers have effectively utilized indigenous raw materials to create unique straws that meet stringent export standards (such as FDA, SGS, and European regulations):
| Straw Type | Primary Material | Key Features | Applications |
| Grass Straws | Lepironia Articulata grass from the Mekong Delta. | 100% natural, no chemicals. Does not disintegrate in hot or cold liquids. Suitable for single-use or short-term reuse. | Cafés, juices, high-end restaurants/hotels. |
| Bamboo Straws | Natural, sustainably harvested bamboo. | Reusable for multiple cycles (4-6 months). High durability, naturally antibacterial. Can be custom laser-engraved with logos. | Coffee shops, sustainable retail chains, corporate gifts. |
| Rice Straws | Rice flour and tapioca starch, colored naturally with vegetable extracts (beetroot, spinach, black sesame). | Edible after use. Fully biodegradable in nature within a short period (a few months). | Cold beverages, soft drinks; popular in the Asian market. |
| Sugarcane/Coffee Grounds Straws | Byproducts of sugarcane or coffee processing. | Good rigidity, remains intact in liquid. Utilizes agricultural byproducts, enhancing sustainability and reducing industrial waste. | Hot/cold beverages, smoothies, milk tea. |
