LOLISTRAW
LOLISTRAW is the world’s first edible, seaweed-based material straw aimed at replacing plastic.
LOLISTRAW is the world’s first edible, hypercompostable straw aimed at replacing the 500M plastic straws used every day in the US.
LOLISTRAW is made from LOLIWARE’s patent-pending, seaweed-based material technology and is 100% PLASTIC-FREE, Hypercompostable, marine-degradable, and non-GMO. Seaweed is a renewable resource that does not require land resources and actually absorbs CO2, which is why a seaweed-based product has an environmental advantage. 8MM tons of single-use plastics, including plastic straws, enter our oceans each year. LOLISTRAW is a sustainable (and FUN!) alternative to plastic straws that cannot be captured by recycling waste streams.
