Our top-selling eco-friendly straws — fully compliant with EU single-use plastics regulations and ready for the French market.
France has long been a leader in environmental policy within the European Union. Since the implementation of the EU Single-Use Plastics Directive (SUPD) in 2021, French businesses — from Parisian bistros to large-scale food service distributors — have been actively seeking sustainable alternatives to conventional plastic straws.
Sugarcane straws, made from the fibrous residue (bagasse) left after juice extraction, have emerged as one of the most practical and commercially viable solutions. They are 100% compostable, food-safe, and perform comparably to plastic in terms of durability and user experience.
From Lyon's vibrant café culture to Bordeaux's world-renowned wine bars and Marseille's bustling beach kiosks, sugarcane straws are becoming the go-to choice for operators who want to align with France's green economy goals without compromising on quality or customer experience.
