How can we use laboratory tests to predict what will happen in the ocean?

Scientists have begun working on this issue. They have made it easier to evaluate how to use biodegradation rates determined in laboratory conditions to what that actually means for diverse, real-world marine conditions.

Isn't phade still harmful to marine life until it biodegrades?

A phade straw should NEVER be disposed of in a marine environment, but in the unfortunate circumstance where a phade straw might end up in an ocean, it will be consumed by the bacteria in the ocean.

PHA products vs. "natural" alternatives in the marine environment

PHA-based products show greater potential for environmental sustainability than other biopolymers and can be more effective in some environments than non-plastic options promoted as "natural" products.

What about microplastics?

Microplastics in our oceans and food chain are a cause for concern. However, marine PHA-based products, like our Phade straw, do not contribute to microplastic pollution.

What is the proper way to dispose phade straws?

The proper way to dispose of a phade straw is through composting. A phade straw will completely biodegrade in both home and industrial environments, making it a sustainable choice.
