Empowering Sustainability

Transforming Waste into Worth

At Straw-cycle, we envision a world where every plastic straw used—over 182.5 billion annually in the U.S.—doesn’t end up in landfills or oceans. Instead, these straws are given a second life, transformed into valuable materials that support industries and reduce our reliance on virgin plastics. This is the future we’re building.

Plastic straws are ubiquitous, but they are rarely recycled due to their small size and lightweight nature, often being overlooked by traditional recycling programs. Instead of being recycled, they end up clogging landfills, harming marine life, and contributing to the growing global plastic pollution crisis. Cities spend millions of dollars every year on recycling efforts that still fail to capture these straws.
