Black System launches straww for the care services, the straw respectful to nature and specially formulated for the hospital environment. The straws are heat resistant up to 70°C and can be folded like plastic straws to allow patients to drink.
This straw is made from the thermoplastic material Liquidwood, obtained from lignin, a by-product of paper production, and cellulose. Cellulose wood fibres come from controlled European reforestation and 50 million tonnes of Liquidwood are produced worldwide every year.
Liquidwood is a biopolymer of lignin and cellulose, invented by the Fraunhofer Institute.
– Lignin = by-product of the paper industry
– Cellulose = wood fibres from controlled European reforestation (beech and spruce), flax, hemp, sisal…
The product is of organic origin and compostable in a domestic environment, as required by the Europeen environnemental laws.
