WinCup’s phade Straw Shows Complete Biodegradation in a Controlled Marine Environment in Just 58 Days in New Time-lapse Video

August 17, 2021 WinCup

The video and report are the result of a project conducted by Keypoint Intelligence, a product testing firm, that involved placing phade® in two unique saltwater tank environments and monitoring the biodegradation process. While petroleum-based plastic straws are estimated to take at least 200 years to biodegrade, this project showed that phade®, made with PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoate), a substrate derived from the fermentation of canola oil, achieved complete biodegradation in just 58 days.
