OUR STORY
WASTE TO PURPOSE | BORN AT UC BERKELEY
Earthline Inc. began with a simple question: What if agricultural waste could be transformed into something beautiful, functional, and sustainable?
As UC Berkeley students passionate about climate solutions, we discovered a troubling pattern — in rice-producing regions of India, millions of tons of rice husks are discarded or burned each year, releasing harmful emissions and contributing to environmental degradation.
Instead of letting that waste go unnoticed, we turned it into a solution.
Rice husks and tapioca are upcycled starch into biodegradable straws — durable, plant-based, and 100% free of plastic and harmful chemicals. Earthline straws naturally decompose after use, leaving no trace behind.
What started as a student project at Berkeley has grown into a mission-driven company supplying cafés, campuses, and foodservice providers with straws that do more than sip — they make a statement.
Because we believe sustainability isn’t just a trend. It’s a responsibility.
