These leftovers currently have little to no value, so our process gives them a very important second life. With 11 generations of expertise in working with this succulent plant, we have the unique opportunity to educate the world on the viability of agave fiber as a sustainable alternative to other materials. The debut of our biodegradable, agave-based drinking straws is a new step in utilizing the full potential of this very special Mexican agricultural product. Our PolyAgaver® straw is made from upcycled agave which decomposes 200 times faster than regular plastic.
