About DP Eco-Collective®

Sustainable consumables, redefined.

Premium sugarcane straws for cafés, juice bars, bubble tea shops and hospitality groups across the UK and US.

Our story

I started DP Eco-Collective to make sustainability practical for real businesses. The industry was stuck between paper straws that give up halfway through a drink and harmful plastics, so we set out to create a better alternative: one that delivers both performance and environmental responsibility.

We supply cafés, juice bars, bubble tea shops and hospitality groups across the UK and US with consumables that are clean, consistent and built for scale.

Premium eco-durability.

Built to last the whole drink. Certified compostable when it’s done.

Why sugarcane?

Sugarcane is one of the world’s most renewable, fast-growing crops. After harvesting, the leftover fibre, called bagasse, is usually treated as waste. We turn that fibre into something better.

Our bagasse sugarcane blend gives you:

  • ✓The strength and feel of traditional plastic
  • ✓The clean, premium finish customers expect
  • ✓Durability that paper straws simply can’t match
  • ✓A lower-impact, plant-based footprint
  • ✓No odours or tastes
  • ✓No intentionally added PFAS (BPI certified)

Sugarcane grows quickly, regenerates naturally and produces a material ideal for high-quality consumables. It’s eco-friendly without sacrificing performance, and that’s exactly what modern hospitality needs.
