01.MATERIAL

Our manufacturing technique supports various kinds of plant fiber, including coffee grounds, coconut fiber, palm fiber, etc.

We chose bamboo to be our main material because of its sustainability. Unlike trees, bamboo reaches maturity in 3 years, therefore collecting them adequately benefits the bamboo ecology. There are 185 thousand hectares of bamboo forest in Taiwan, only 11 thousand hectares of bamboo forest is needed to supply the 600 billion straw usage in the entire world annually, the burden on the world’s natural resources is minimal.

03.USAGE

Pulp products like paper straws turns soggy and dissolves easily in water and beverages. Certain thickness or plastic film is applied to expand its durability. On the other hand, the YOLLY Natural Bamboo Fiber Straw is able to hold over 24 hours in drinks and have the heat resistance of -20°C to 100°C.

02.MANUFACTURE

Paper straw is a popular and common plant fiber straw on the market now, but the process of pulp making results in massive amount of water pollution. It has a great amount of strong acid that causes strong erosion and produces poisonous chemicals.

“Dry processing and forming” is our latest and one of a kind invention. This technique does not require any chemical to destroy the plant structure, but rather by only grinding plant into powder and processing them into natural bamboo fiber. The whole process does not produce any water pollution. The processing temperature is also strictly controlled under 200°C to effectively ensure low carbon emission.

04.DISPOSAL

YOLLY Straws can be disposed as general waste, and can also be decomposed in natural environment and water. The straw does not produce any toxic gas during waste incineration. By burying in the ground or processing through landfill, the straw starts breaking down in 45 days. After 90 days, the straw is almost completely decomposed by micro-organisms in the environment. Furthermore, the more micro-organisms there are in the water, the faster the decomposition of the straw. Since the ingredients are all natural, the dissolved substances are returned to the environment and become the Earth’s nutrients.
