The hospitality and foodservice industries are in the midst of a profound transformation. Rising consumer eco-awareness and stringent single-use plastic bans across the EU, U.S., and other major markets are forcing businesses to rethink their supply chains. This shift is not a passing trend—it’s a structural change that is reshaping procurement strategies, brand positioning, and customer expectations.
The global eco-friendly straw market is projected to reach $25.1 billion by 2035, growing at 7.3% CAGR. For B2B leaders—hotels, cafes, restaurant groups, and distributors—this is both a challenge and an opportunity. Choosing the right straw solution is no longer about just “replacing plastic”; it’s about compliance, performance, brand image, and long-term cost efficiency.
The Industry Landscape: Lessons from Competitors
In recent years, brands such as Greenprint have entered the market with agave-based and PHA straw solutions, positioned around circular economy principles and performance durability. These products have gained visibility, especially for their resistance to sogginess compared to traditional paper straws.
However, the market still faces three recurring pain points:
- Performance Issues – Many alternatives fail under prolonged use in hot or cold drinks.
- Greenwashing Concerns – Products marketed as “eco-friendly” without full compostability or recyclability certifications.
- Supply Chain Gaps – Inconsistent availability and limited customization options for bulk B2B buyers.
