Corn Next Offers Eco-Friendly Drinking Straws

Corn Next has developed a next-gen eco-friendly drinking straw that’s plastic-free, non-toxic, and made from U.S.-grown corn. The 100% natural solution are made with corn starch and enzymes and should be used with caution by those allergic to corn ingredients.

Their patented CornNext-17 material looks and feels like plastic but breaks down naturally, leaving no microplastics behind.

Made with food-based ingredients derived from natural origins, Corn Next products make a positive impact with sip. With a mission to combat plastic wastes and preserve our planet. Corn Next offers a guilt-free natural alternative to plastic products that decomposes completely in any environment--soil, water and even your own backyard.

Corn Straws are available in plain and fruit flavors (like lemon, lime, orange, strawberry and blueberry) and a gluten-free. I sampled both the non-flavored and lime varieties.

The straws stay sturdy in drinks for hours—making them a new favorite among bartenders and beverage brands. For children under three years of age, adult supervision is required.

The shelf life for the straws is 24 months and the sturdy recyclable box is stamped with the production date. There are 50 individually-wrapped pieces per box and measure 7.75 inches by 6 mm. The distributor is at 18003 Sky Park Circle in Irvine, California. (cornnext.com)
