Plastic straws are being adopted throughout the world and many plastic straw producers are switching to polylactic acid (PLA )plastic straws.
To biodegrade, PLA requires a laundry list of conditions to effectively break down.
Specifically – oxygen, a temperature of 140+ degrees, and a 2/3 cocktail of organic substrate.
You cannot expect your PLA straw to biodegrade in your local dump, let alone your backyard compost heap.
