FAQ

Q

What does the Superstraw taste like?

The apple pulp gives the Superstraw a sweet, tart taste. It will not alter the flavour of your drinks but may take on the flavour of the drink itself. The Superstraw will soften in your beverage and become the perfect consistency to be eaten.

Q

What about compostable plastic straws?

Compostable plastic straws will only break down if they end up in an industrial composing facility, so they will not break down if they are thrown in the garbage or recycling. Unfortunately many restaurants and bars do not have proper composting facilities and the straws are thrown in the garbage. Even if the compostable straws were composted properly, they just break down into smaller plastic particles which contaminate our ground water and leads to further health problems.

Q

Is the Superstraw gluten free

The Superstraw is not gluten free as it does contain durum wheat semolina, but the Superstraw is plastic free!

Q

When is Canada implementing the ban on single-use plastics?

The government is planning on having the ban in place by 2021. However many municipalities have already implemented this ban. At the time of the ban 57 million plastic straws were being used every day in Canada.
