Evanesce, an American sustainable serviceware producer, is set to initiate the production of the first 7.5 million drinking straws made from Biodolomer, a limestone-based compostable material.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The material is said to possess most of the qualities of plastic but is environmentally sustainable.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is manufactured by Gaia Biomaterials in Sweden.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gaia Biomaterials CEO Peter Stenstr\u00f6m said: \u201cThe US market is 500 million straws \u2013 per day, and we offer a material that gives the feeling that customers want. The potential is enormous.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n

The production of these compostable straws will take place at Evanesce\u2019s South Carolina facility, where extensive trials with Biodolomer have been conducted.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Evanesce CEO Douglas Horne said: \u201d There is a strong demand from consumers and brands for affordable, sustainable solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
