Pillow Wad Barley Straw is 100% biodegradable including the outer bag! However, this may be supplied in standard plastic wrap, depending on the availability of bio-wrap - but still contains the same lovely straw inside! If you have any queries on this, please get in touch

Please note that although this straw is branded as being 'unchopped', it is mechanically cut to a chop length that facilitates automatic bagging. If you require a longer straw length, we'd recommend Deans Straw.
