These OMAO cocktail straws are made from PHA, a naturally occurring biopolymer derived from vegetable oil, and are marine biodegradable — meaning they break down naturally in soil, freshwater, and ocean environments. They never get soggy, are food-contact safe, and will not fall apart in your drink or alter the taste. These straws look and feel like traditional straws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompact and narrow, they're sized specifically for cocktails and bar service.

Unlike conventional plastics or most compostable materials, PHA breaks down in a wide range of natural environments — including soil, freshwater, and marine settings — without requiring industrial composting infrastructure.
