PHA Coffee & Cocktail Stirrers
The plastic stirrer replacement that actually biodegrades. Certified home compostable, industrially compostable, and marine degradable — with the same performance as conventional plastic.
Why PHA? Not Paper. Not Bamboo.
Paper stirrers go soggy in seconds. Bamboo splinters and leaves fibers in drinks. Conventional plastic stirrers last 500+ years in the environment. PHA solves all three problems at once — it looks and performs like plastic, but microorganisms in soil and marine environments consume and break it down completely.
PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoate) is a bioplastic produced through bacterial fermentation of canola oil. Bacteria naturally produce PHA inside their cells as an energy reserve — we simply extract and form it into stirrers. The same microorganisms that made it can also consume it at end of life, which is why PHA holds genuine marine degradability certifications that petroleum plastic never could.
The result is a stirrer that works in any bar or cafe setting today — and disappears cleanly in any environment tomorrow.

Everything You Need. Nothing You Don't.
PHA stirrers deliver the full performance of conventional plastic — with three certified end-of-life pathways that no petroleum stirrer can match.
Home & Industrially Compostable
Certified compostable in both home and industrial composting environments — no facility required. Drop a used stirrer in your backyard compost and it breaks down completely.
Marine Degradable
Unlike conventional plastic stirrers that persist in oceans for centuries, PHA stirrers are recognized and consumed by marine microorganisms — zero microplastic residue left behind.
Cocktail & Coffee Ready
Rigid enough to stir thick cocktail mixers, muddle fresh herbs, and blend coffee drinks without bending or snapping. Performs exactly like conventional plastic stirrers.
Plastic-Free & BPA-Free
Made entirely from PHA bioplastic — no petroleum inputs, no BPA, no phthalates. Safe for food and beverage contact in hot and cold applications.
Hospitality-Grade Quality
Available in volumes that suit high-throughput hospitality environments — bars, restaurants, hotels, event venues, coffee chains, and catering companies.
100% Plant-Derived
PHA is produced through bacterial fermentation of canola oil. No fossil fuels. No synthetic chemicals. Just bacteria, plant oil, and the same polymer they would make in nature.
For Every Venue, Every Drink
PHA stirrers are purpose-built for the hospitality industry — from craft cocktail bars to hotel room service to large-scale corporate events.
Cocktail Bars & Speakeasies
Serve craft cocktails with stirrers that match your premium presentation — and your sustainability values. PHA stirrers handle citrus, bitters, and spirits the same as plastic.
Coffee Shops & Cafes
Stir lattes, cold brews, and specialty drinks without the plastic guilt. PHA stirrers are heat-tolerant, rigid, and certified plastic-free for your eco-conscious customers.
Hotels & Resort Bars
Upgrade your bar program and align with your hotel's sustainability reporting goals. PHA stirrers are an instant plastic-out swap that guests and auditors will both notice.
Events & Catering
Sustainable events start with the details. Replace thousands of single-use plastic stirrers at weddings, corporate events, and conferences with a certified compostable alternative.
Three End-of-Life Pathways. All Certified.
Unlike paper or bamboo alternatives that only partially break down, PHA stirrers carry verified certifications across every real-world disposal scenario.
Home Compostable
Breaks down in backyard or countertop composters — no industrial facility required. The most accessible end-of-life option for residential and small-business users.
Industrially Compostable
Certified for commercial composting facilities. Compatible with municipal organics programs where available, meeting the strictest processing-temperature and degradation standards.
Marine Degradable
Recognized and consumed by microorganisms in open ocean environments. One of only a handful of materials to hold verified marine biodegradability certification.
