Eco-Friendly Restaurant Supplies for Los Angeles

Compostable Straws and Utensils That Meet LA’s Plastic Ban

Los Angeles County’s single-use plastic ordinance requires all food service containers, cups, dishes, and cutlery distributed by restaurants and food facilities in unincorporated areas to be recyclable or compostable. The ban took effect in May 2023 for permanent restaurants, November 2023 for food trucks, and May 2024 for temporary food facilities, catering companies, and farmers markets. Violations can result in fines up to $100 per day per violation.

KGPeco bamboo fiber straws and compostable utensils give LA restaurants a straightforward path to compliance. Our products are made from natural bamboo fiber and plant starch — home compostable, biodegradable, and durable enough for everyday foodservice use. No more scrambling to find compliant alternatives when inspectors come through.

Why LA Restaurants and Boba Shops Choose KGPeco

Los Angeles has one of the densest concentrations of boba tea shops, food trucks, and diverse restaurants in the country. Each of these businesses needs compostable supplies that actually work — straws that don’t dissolve in drinks, utensils that don’t snap under pressure.

KGPeco bamboo fiber straws are engineered for durability. Our wide boba straws handle tapioca pearls without collapsing. Our regular straws hold up in hot coffee and iced drinks alike. And our compostable utensils are strong enough for everything from pho to pad thai. We’ve been in the supply chain business since 1979, importing directly and distributing from our own warehouse — which means reliable inventory, competitive pricing, and direct delivery across Greater Los Angeles.
