ADA Biotech: Sipping Your Way to Cleaner Oceans

ADA Sip Straw

Founded in 2019, ADA Biotech (ADA), a Malaysian company is on a mission to combat pollution by creating environmentally safe products. Its primary strategy is to manufacture revolutionary biodegradable products with 100% plant-based ingredients. Biodegradable products can be decomposed by bacteria or other living organisms, thereby avoiding pollution.

ADA Straws

Plastic straws are one of the most commonly used and discarded plastic items. Because of the chemicals used in their manufacture, many varieties cannot be reused or recycled. In addition, most plastic straws are non-biodegradable, meaning bacteria or decomposers cannot break them down. Scientists estimate about 8.3 billion plastic straws pollute coastlines around the world.

 ADA Boba Straw and ADA Natural Straw

ADA straws are made of broken rice and tapioca starch, are environmentally friendly, ocean safe, edible, have zero PLA, no preservatives and decompose in 100 days. ADA has developed straws for nearly every type of use. Offerings include ADA Natural Straw, ADA Boba Straw and ADA Sip Straw. They also come in different packaging, which is customisable.

Sustainable Development Goals

The other central theme of ADA is Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). ADA has already committed to 5 of the 17 UN SDGs, which are:

• No.9 - A company with innovative technology and international standard quality certifications.
• No.11 - Be the pioneer of sustainable living to create awareness of pollution and lead the people around us to a more sustainable lifestyle.
• No.12 - Producing products that do not harm the environment and with modified automation machinery.
• No.14 - ADA straws do not harm marine life because it is edible and decomposes in 100 days naturally.
• No.15 - ADA straws do not need any artificial environment or landfill, to be disposed because of its natural ability to decompose.

Future Plans

ADA hopes to encourage people to swap from single-use plastic products to biodegradable products, and to this end, it plans to develop multiple new offerings. They include:

• ADA Stirrer
• ADA Chopstick
• ADA Spoon
• ADA Forks
• ADA Cup
• ADA Cup Lid
• ADA Plate

They are also keen on partnerships or joint ventures with like-minded organisations to develop new products in line with the SDGs.

Currently exporting to Japan and Singapore, ADA has set its sights on creating a global footprint and sustainable future.
