As more companies look for alternative products for a greener future, we stand at the forefront of an adhesive breakthrough. We are introducing AP1052WE, a water-based adhesive tailored for paper straw manufacturing.

We've seen a lot of news surrounding the topic of paper straws over the last couple of years. Companies like Starbucks, Hyatt, and American Airlines are working to move away from single-use plastic straws completely. 

As companies work diligently to make environmentally conscious choices, paper straws are definitely going to become a part of everyday life.

The Straw Free Campaign is continuing to impact how customers and manufacturers think about one-use plastics. Major restaurant chains and hospitality providers like Starbucks, McDonald’s, and Hyatt have pledged to stop using plastic straws and find an alternative. From uncooked noodles to bamboo, people have come up with some pretty creative ways to slurp up drinks, but the most popular option by far is the paper straw.
