Green Smart Products manufactures drinking straws and beverage stirrers in PLA, PHA and recyclable PP — made in the USA for distributors, foodservice operators and private label programs.
Materials
Each line is certified — or not — on its own terms. We state exactly what each material is, so your claims stay accurate downstream.
Industrial compostable only
Certified BPI, ASTM D6400 and DIN TÜV for industrial composting. PLA straws are industrial compostable only.
Best fit: Foodservice operations and markets with access to commercial composting collection.
Industrial + home compostable + marine biodegradable
Certified BPI, ASTM D6400 and DIN TÜV (industrial compostable), plus Home Compostable and Marine Biodegradable certified.
Best fit: Venues and markets without industrial composting access, and waterfront or outdoor operations.
Recyclable — not compostable
Conventional plastic. Recyclable. Not compostable and not biodegradable.
A biodegradable PP grade is also available on request. Specification and supporting documentation are provided per project. The biodegradability of biodegradable PP straws should be independently confirmed, as certifications for the straws are not available yet.
Best fit: Buyers who need a conventional polypropylene straw and have recycling streams that accept it.
Please note: PLA straws are industrial compostable only and require a commercial composting facility. PP straws are conventional plastic — recyclable, not compostable and not biodegradable.
Domestic supply chain
Because production stays in the United States, US customers ship a domestic leg only — with no ocean or air freight in the chain.
US customers ship a domestic leg only, so the product is not exposed to container rates or airfreight surcharges.
A shorter domestic route means rising fuel costs move landed cost far less than an import chain does.
Domestic manufacturing removes tariffs from the cost structure.
Priced and paid in US dollars, with no foreign exchange fluctuation between order and delivery.
Faster speed to delivery than an overseas order with an ocean crossing and customs clearance.
Performance
Our straws are made to feel and perform like conventional plastic. They hold a liquid barrier and resist saturation during use, so they keep their shape and their bore from the first sip to the last.
Size range
Six standard sizes cover most beverage programs, in wrapped or unwrapped formats.
Manufacturing
Extruded, cut, wrapped and packed in the United States. Domestic production keeps lead times and specifications under our control.
