The World’s First Truly Water-Soluble Straw

  • What is TimeStraw?

    TimeStraw is the world's first molecularly polar straw—meaning it naturally reacts with water, its primary trigger for degradation. However, thanks to our patented time-programmable polymer technology, TimeStraw maintains the strength and functionality comparable to conventional plastic for exactly 12 hours (even if it doesn't feel precisely like traditional plastic). After this period, water initiates a controlled hydrolytic reaction, causing the molecular bonds to destabilize, leading to complete dissolution. This process ensures zero waste, zero microplastics, and zero harmful residues left behind in the environment. TimeStraw is crafted from advanced alcohol-based copolymers blended with natural cellulose, enabling it to perform remarkably like traditional plastic, yet allowing it to break down naturally and seamlessly reintegrate into the environment, much like leaves or wood.

  • How It Works?

    Strong When You Need It, Gone When You Don’t

    Designed for both hot and cold beverages, TimeStraw maintains its integrity during use.

    Once discarded, if in water, it naturally dissolve, eliminating the need for toxic recycling or landfill waste.

    Unlike paper straws, TimeStraw does not get soggy or break apart while in use.
