Roc Paper Straws

Roc Paper Straws is a family-run, eco-conscious paper straw manufacturer based in Rochester, New York, dedicated to providing sustainable alternatives to plastic straws for businesses and individuals. Founded in 2019 by Karrie and her daughter, Roc Paper Straws emerged from a desire to combat plastic pollution and a commitment to responsible manufacturing. Recognizing a significant gap in the US market for high-quality, readily available paper straws, the company embarked on a three-year journey of research, experimentation, and strategic partnerships to establish a reliable supply chain. From its humble beginnings, Roc Paper Straws has grown to become the only paper straw manufacturer in New York, prioritizing eco-friendly practices throughout its operations – from sourcing sustainable materials and utilizing recycled packaging to minimizing waste. The company’s mission is rooted in a simple yet powerful belief: that small changes, like switching to a biodegradable paper straw, can collectively make a significant impact on the health of our planet. Roc Paper Straws is proud to be a Women Owned and Operated business, committed to creating a more sustainable future, one straw at a time.
