PLQ (PLantastiQ) is a plastic-free compostable granule developed and patented by Cyclups in the Netherlands. PLQ is made by upcycling agricultural residues such as wheat (cane) into a pellet. This pellet is available in different strengths and compostability times and can be used to replace ‘traditional’ plastics. PLQ is compostable, meaning that after 12 weeks at least 90% of the original mass is smaller than 2MM, this is hereafter food for the soil, so no waste. Premium PLQ drinking straw 15 cm ø 6 mm brown .
