WinCup, a leading manufacturer of disposable foodservice to-go ware, is launching phade™, a new line of straws and stirrers made from Danimer Scientific’s Nodax™ PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoate). Nodax™ PHA is derived from canola oil and is a marine biodegradable, soil biodegradable, and home compostable material. WinCup is the first manufacturer in the U.S. to successfully produce commercially sellable straws from this unique material. Plans for a national rollout of this innovative new straw are underway and product will be available later this year. Increased consumer demand for more soil and ocean-friendly disposable products spurred the company’s exploration into a viable solution.
