Vietnamese Rice Straws are pioneering the shift away from single-use plastics in the global Food & Beverage industry. Developed from the country’s abundant rice reserves, these straws offer a novel solution that is 100% natural, fully edible, and completely biodegradable.
1. INGREDIENTS AND PRODUCTION: THE VIETNAMESE ADVANTAGE
Vietnam leverages its position as a leading global rice producer to create this innovative product:
- Natural Composition: Rice Straws are made primarily from rice flour (bột gạo) and tapioca starch (tinh bột sắn), ensuring they are gluten-free and safe for human consumption.
- Natural Coloring: Instead of artificial dyes, vibrant colors are achieved using natural extracts from local vegetables and spices :
- White: Natural color of rice.
- Green: Spinach or Pandan leaves.
- Purple/Pink: Beetroot (Củ Dền).
- Black: Black Sesame (Mè Đen) or Charcoal.
- Safety & Compliance: The production process adheres to strict quality controls, with many manufacturers achieving international certifications such as FDA, SGS, and HACCP/ISO 22000, confirming their safety for global export.
2. UNIQUE SELLING POINTS (USPs) FOR GLOBAL PARTNERS
Rice Straws stand out from other eco-alternatives (like paper or PLA) due to their distinctive benefits:
- Fully Edible: They do not just decompose; they can be consumed! This is a unique and attractive feature for the final consumer, especially in Asian and novelty markets.
- Fast Biodegradation: In composting or natural conditions, Rice Straws break down completely within 90 days, leaving no harmful residue behind.
- Superior Durability in Liquid: Unlike paper straws, Rice Straws maintain their structural integrity and shape when immersed in cold drinks for 30 minutes to over 2 hours (depending on the formula). They are also suitable for hot beverages.
- Neutral Taste and Smell: Rice Straws do not impart a strong taste or odor to the beverage, ensuring the pure flavor of the drink is preserved.
