About The Happy Turtle Straw

The Happy Turtle Straw produces edible and compostable drinking straws made from 100% natural, plant-based rice. The straws are taste-neutral, fully biodegradable and serve as an alternative to plastic and paper straws with the aim of protecting marine life and oceans. The company sells its products in the B2B sector to gastronomy, hotels and foodservice operators and offers sample provision, a reseller/distribution program as well as partnerships and sponsoring. Communication and the website are available in English and French. The company itself reports on metrics such as plastic straws replaced, plastic waste reduced and CO2 emissions saved, as well as on its support of five UN Sustainable Development Goals.
