UK’s #1 SUPPLIER

What Straws Are Available?

Our collection of eco-friendly straws includes several options to suit different types of drinks and business needs. We provide paper straws, a widely recognised biodegradable option that works well for most cold beverages. For thicker drinks such as smoothies or milkshakes, our smoothie straws and thick straws ensure that customers can enjoy their drinks without any frustration. We also offer clear plastic straws, which are fully recyclable and cater to businesses looking for a sustainable yet practical solution.

With the hospitality sector constantly evolving, businesses such as cafes, juice bars, restaurants, fast-food outlets, and event caterers are looking for ways to reduce their plastic consumption. Our range of eco-friendly straws allows businesses to meet sustainability goals while still providing customers with high-quality, functional drink accessories.

Paper Straws

As one of the most widely adopted alternatives to traditional plastic, paper straws offer a biodegradable and compostable option for businesses looking to reduce their environmental footprint. Unlike plastic straws, which take hundreds of years to break down, paper straws decompose naturally, making them a responsible choice for the planet. They are particularly well-suited for serving soft drinks, cocktails, and juices, making them a great fit for cafes, bars, and restaurants. Our paper straws are designed for durability, ensuring they do not become soggy quickly, which is a common issue with lower-quality paper alternatives. Choosing paper straws not only demonstrates a commitment to sustainability but also reassures customers that your business is taking active steps towards reducing plastic waste.

Smoothie Straws

For businesses that serve thicker beverages, smoothie straws are an essential option. Designed with a wider diameter than standard straws, they allow customers to enjoy smoothies, slushies, and frozen drinks with ease. Regular straws often struggle with the thicker consistency of blended drinks, making smoothie straws a necessary alternative for juice bars, coffee shops, and fast-food outlets that specialise in these types of beverages.

Our eco-friendly smoothie straws are available in recyclable and compostable materials, ensuring that businesses can make sustainable choices without sacrificing functionality. As consumers become more conscious of their environmental impact, providing an eco-friendly straw option for smoothies and other thick drinks can enhance your business’s reputation and encourage customer loyalty.

Thick Straws

When serving drinks such as bubble tea, milkshakes, or beverages with added fruit pieces, standard straws simply won’t do. Our thick straws are designed to accommodate drinks with solid ingredients, ensuring that customers can sip their drinks without frustration. Bubble tea, for example, contains tapioca pearls that require a wider straw to allow smooth consumption. Similarly, milkshakes and dessert drinks with thick consistencies benefit from the use of thick straws that offer easy flow.

Businesses such as bubble tea shops, dessert cafes, and ice cream parlours find that offering eco-friendly thick straws is crucial for customer satisfaction. At Ambican, we provide high-quality thick straws made from sustainable materials, helping businesses maintain their commitment to the environment while still providing the necessary functionality.

Clear Plastic Straws

For businesses that still prefer a more traditional option, our clear plastic straws offer a strong and flexible alternative while being fully recyclable. These straws provide the transparency and durability of conventional plastic while ensuring that they can be disposed of responsibly. Many fast-food chains, event caterers, and takeaway businesses find clear plastic straws to be an ideal choice because they maintain the look and feel of regular straws while offering a more sustainable disposal method.

While some businesses prefer paper options, certain drinks, particularly carbonated beverages, can cause paper straws to deteriorate quickly. In such cases, clear plastic straws serve as a practical solution, offering the best of both worlds by maintaining strength while being an environmentally responsible choice.
