Vanua Eco Straws was born out of a simple discovery — straws made from rice and tapioca starch, already in everyday use, that break down naturally instead of lingering in landfills and oceans for centuries. As a father, watching my son's love for animals and the outdoors made it clear: the beaches, wildlife, and waterways he loves shouldn't have to compete with plastic waste.

California has already led the way with local plastic straw bans across the state — Vanua exists to make compliance easy, without sacrificing quality or performance. Every straw we bring in is plant-based, functional, and built for real food-service use, so businesses can do right by their community without any extra hassle. We're proud to bring a better option to California's cafes, juice bars, and restaurants — one straw at a time.
