As more and more people become aware of the devastating consequences of plastic straws on the environment, especially on marine life, there are global calls for a complete ban on plastic straws.
As this movement gains momentum, individuals and businesses alike are exploring alternatives to plastic straws. Some of these alternatives include bamboo, paper, stainless steel, and PLA straws.
While the above alternatives are by far more sustainable than plastic straws, not all alternatives are popular with everyone.
Reusable straws are often considered unsanitary, and paper straws can become soggy after a period of use. So it's no wonder that PLA straws may seem like the perfect solution! They are clear, functional, and feel just like plastic straws.
Advantages
PLA straws have many benefits. Not only are they made from renewable, plant-based materials, but they require 68% fewer fossil fuel resources to produce than traditional plastics and can be composted commercially. This makes them a more sustainable option compared to plastic. They are also strong, hold up well in beverages and are considered more hygienic because they are disposable.
