A biodegradable, renewable, fiber-based solution for paper straws, enabling the food industry to provide consumers with an alternative to single-use plastic straws.
Ahlstrom's CelluStraw™ is a fiber-based solution made of renewable materials. It is specially designed to address emerging initiatives to phase out single-use plastic straws. Paper-based materials will enable key players of the food industry, such as fast-food chains, to demonstrate their high level of commitment to better protection of the environment, while continuing to offer a convenient drinking experience to consumers.
CelluStraw™ consists of specialty paper grades respectively developed for the inner and outer plies of paper straws.
Sustainable credentials
Renewable, biodegradable and safe for direct-food contact, CelluStraw™ is a fiber-based solution for paper straws offering a sustainable alternative to non-renewable materials. CelluStraw™ is made of virgin fibers sourced from responsibly managed forests. CelluStraw™ papers carry BPI Compostability certification.
High-speed converting for straight and U-shaped straws
CelluStraw™ runs particularly well on high-speed converting machines. Its high wet strength and mechanical resistance deliver good product integrity, ensuring that paper straws remain in excellent condition once converted and will withstand liquids for a sufficient amount of time.
The range encompasses Cellustraw™ for straight straws and CelluStraw™U for U-shaped straws.
This expanded offering provides the converting industry with an outstanding degree of folding flexibility, required by the U-shaped design straws used in aseptic beverage cartons.
