In 1888, a man named Marvin Stone invented the original paper straw and patented his idea.
Aardvark paper straws were re-introduced in 2007, in response to a growing anti-plastic movement. Restaurants, hospitals, and other services industries, the main buyers of plastic straws in the US, were forced to look for more sustainable, eco-friendly options.
As a leading US manufacturer of small-size cylindrical tubing solutions, Precision Products Group Inc. was asked to create a straw that was more environmentally friendly. The answer was in their archives: Marvin Stone's original 1888 patent for the first paper straw. Putting a modern spin on Stone's original concept, Aardvark was able to create a straw, using natural papers, that was more sustainable and more durable than any other paper straw on the market.
Today, Aardvark paper straws are the only paper straws on the market that are made in the USA, use only FDA compliant, food-grade materials, and are marine degradable and compostable.
