PLA Extra-Wide Straws — 9 Inch | ½ Inch Diameter | Case of 2,000

The straw your customers feel good about using — and your kitchen feels good about stocking.

These 9-inch PLA straws are built for the beverages that demand a wider draw — boba, bubble tea, thick smoothies, acai bowls, blended frappes, and any drink where a standard straw simply doesn't cut it. At half an inch wide (12mm), these straws are sized to pull through tapioca pearls, fruit chunks, and thick blended beverages without effort, without bending, and without the environmental guilt that comes with traditional plastic straws.

PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a plant-based, compostable material derived from renewable resources like corn starch — making these straws a genuinely responsible alternative to conventional plastic without compromising on performance. They hold their structure through cold beverages, resist collapsing under sipping pressure, and maintain their shape from the first sip to the last — giving your customers the same reliable drinking experience they expect, now with a material they can feel good about.

At 9 inches long, these straws reach comfortably to the bottom of tall cups, large boba cups, mason jars, and high-volume beverage containers — no straw that's too short, no awkward sipping angle. At 2,000 straws per case, you're stocked for serious volume without constant reordering slowing down your operation.

Built for boba shops, smoothie bars, cafes, juice bars, and any foodservice operation making the move toward more sustainable disposable supplies — these straws deliver on every level.

Make the switch. Your customers will notice.
