British Attitudes to Plastic Straws are Changing
Consumer attitudes to single-use plastic are changing worldwide. The UK is no exception. A YouGov poll revealed half of UK consumers would pay more to avoid single-use plastic, while over 80% of Brits think businesses are not doing enough to tackle plastic pollution.
With government initiatives in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and England outlawing single-use plastics in 2021, now’s the time to transition from plastic to sustainable paper straws. And at Tembo Paper, our expertise and innovative technology can help you make the change.
Our Wholesale Paper Straws are Different
We are a paper straw manufacturer with a difference. Our innovative methods and quality materials ensure that our wholesale paper straws meet the highest standards. And, by developing the paper spiraling technology behind our machines, we’re uniquely placed to adapt to every customer’s demands.
- Each straw uses only three paper layers and less than 4% adhesive. Our straws combine durability, a low environmental footprint, and an optimal user experience.
- Our biodegradable paper straws stay firm in liquid for over three hours. That means no deformed or soggy straws – and no loose ends.
- Telescopic, straight, or U-shaped straws. Our paper straw machine produces straws to a range of shapes and sizes.
- A range of lengths and diameter. We make straws at 3-10mm diameter, and 116-260mm length – to suit your requirements.
- Technology developed by Tembo Paper. We make the straws and the machinery that produce them – including the world’s first paper straw machine to achieve paper straws at 3mm diameter.
- Fully biodegradable and manufactured from sustainable paper.
