Startup Spends 2 Years Crafting The Perfect Eco-Friendly Straw
What started as a joke turned into a passion for finding perfection. Startup imPASTA announces its first product launch, The Perfect Straw, made of seeds.
“If there is one thing everyone can agree on during these crazy times, it’s that paper straws SUCK, and not the way they’re supposed to.” Said Adams Chimera, Co-Founder of imPASTA. “We needed to make a straw that wasn’t just an eco-friendly alternative to plastic straws, like paper is; it had to be the best bloody straw that ever existed!”
According to Acumen Research and Consulting, plastic straws make up 99% of the global drinking straw market that is US$ 3 billion. With the growing demand for plastic alternatives, along with the increasing level of government bans on single-use plastic, the founders of imPASTA set out to develop a material made of food-based materials that could have all the benefits of plastic, with none of the eco consequences.
imPASTA is a material made from gluten-free grains and seeds that:
• Lasts 2 hours+ in your drink
• Has perfect mouthfeel
• No sogginess
• 100% flavorless
• Always hard
• Gluten-free, vegan, compostable, and biodegradable
• Truly sucks
“This baby will stir your bloody mary like nobody's business,” says Nick Kabesto, Director of Food & Beverage at Hilton Hawaiian Village. “It’s really the most premium straw we’ve ever used; It’ll even clink a glass!”
imPASTA Straws are available online at www.beimpasta.com or Amazon.com, and the team is in the process of building new partnerships with local restaurants around the South Bay in Los Angeles, amongst other venues and locals.
