What Biodegradable Means for This Straw
A paper straw is only a credible plastic replacement if the whole construction breaks down, not just the marketing. These straws are made from food-grade paper bound with a non-toxic, food-safe adhesive, and the manufacturer's own product documentation describes the finished straw as biodegradable, compostable and recyclable.
In the manufacturer's own comparison material, a paper straw left in the environment degrades naturally in about three to four months. That figure is stated in the manufacturer's comparison material; what that data does and does not cover about a paper straw in a drink is set out in depth in do paper straws get soggy. The PLA straw page documents a different material on its own published figures, and the sourced paper versus PLA comparison sets both materials' figures side by side.
