The key differences between biodegradable and compostable straws lie in how they break down and the conditions required for their decomposition:

Biodegradable Straws:
Biodegradable straws can break down naturally into smaller, non-toxic elements like water, carbon dioxide, and biomass through biological processes. However, the time and conditions required (such as heat, moisture, and microbial activity) can vary. Biodegradable straws may not need specific conditions, but they can still take a long time to degrade, and in some cases, they may leave microplastics behind.
Compostable Straws:
Compostable straws are designed to break down under specific composting conditions, usually in industrial composting facilities. They decompose fully into non-toxic, organic matter like water, carbon dioxide, and nutrient-rich compost within a set timeframe. Compostable straws typically break down faster than biodegradable straws and leave no harmful residue, making them more eco-friendly.
In Summary:
Biodegradable: Breaks down naturally, but may take longer and leave residues.
Compostable: Breaks down quickly under composting conditions, leaving no harmful residue.
