Plastic straws are one of the most often used and discarded plastic products. Because of the chemicals used in their manufacture, certain varieties of straws cannot be reused or recycled. Most plastic straws are often non-biodegradable.
Straws are particularly prone to ending up in our waterways, and ultimately the oceans, due to beach littering, the wind that transports the lightweight objects from trash cans and trash collection facilities, and barges, boats, and aquatic transport vehicles. These straws and other single-use plastic materials pose a grave threat to animals, plants, people, and the environment.
There are several non-plastic straw alternatives available if you or your loved one is required to use a straw for medical reasons, or if you choose to drink your drinks with straws. Simply replacing cheap and disposable plastic straws with reusable stainless steel, glass, or biodegradable paper alternatives is an easy way to cut down on plastic pollution.
