KYIV, Ukraine, Dec. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Ukrainian company YES STRAWS has launched a unique eco product from cane stems. Biodegradable drinking straws are the company's response to the harmful single-use plastic straws that damage our environment and do not decay for decades. Cane straws are single-use eco-friendly straws. Extra durability allows to use them with both cold and hot drinks. They come in 3 sizes (depending on the diameter: small 5-8 cm, medium 9-11 cm, and large 12-14 cm) and short and long length (14 cm and 20 cm). Small straws can be used for any kind of drinks, medium straws suit fresh juices and smoothies well, and large straws are the best for bubble teas.
YES STRAWS is a conscious company that aimed to create a product comfortable for people and planet. Since 2018 they have been doing it with their eco-friendly alternative. YES STRAWS were marked as an outstanding product on the domestic market as well as in Europe and America.
As for December 2019, the company has developed a customer network of up to 300 clients, including various distributors, coffee houses, hotels and restaurants. YES STRAWS produces 2 million drinking straws per month working with domestic and external (Europe, America) markets.
"Today people constantly face air, water, and land pollution. More and more animals die losing their natural habitat or being damaged by waste. And plastic is one of the biggest problems here due to its low ability to decompose. Therefore every company and individual must care about the produced and consumed products. We can see a positive tendency of opting for eco alternatives and moving to conscious consumption," said company's Chief Operating Officer Olesya Vershigora. YES STRAWS satisfies the demand for compostable eco-friendly straws. The straws are made of natural biodegradable material: cane stem. These stems are usually treated as waste in agriculture processes so using these by-products helps to save natural resources and provide farmers in poor regions with extra earnings.
YES STRAWS is a Ukrainian start-up founded in 2018. The production is located in Ukraine as well. The cane straws production technology is patented. The company started with 2 people in staff expanding this quantity to 20 by spring 2019. Today YES STRAWS produces 2 million straws every month serving 300 client companies.
