The Straw Looked Simple

Until we tried to replace it. Eve explores what one familiar purchase asks of Purchasing, Operations and the system after use.

What’s one disposable you already buy that could do more for you?

The straw used to look really simple, until we tried to replace it. Now we have paper, fiber, PHA, mineral-filled, and hybrid alternatives. Each has possibilities, but each raises questions like, does it work in service? Can the local system actually compost it? If not, where does it really go?

The straw taught us something important. Even a simple purchase can become a complicated material decision. I have a lot of experience in hospitality and understand how each purchasing decision has to do more. And now, responsibility is part of that decision, too. Different laws, same direction.

This is where we help. We look upstream at materials, supply, and documentation, and downstream at operations and likely disposal outcomes. We don’t choose your disposal system, but we can make your material decisions fit the one you have.

So, tell me the item. What’s one disposable you already buy that could do more for you? Let’s look at that decision together.
