When people became aware of the pollution of plastic straws to the Marine environment, they began to look for other straws that could replace plastic straws. Paper straws were once thought to be an alternative to plastic straws, but when paper straws were actually put on the market, new problems followed.
According to the sun on April 23, McDonald’s introduced a new eco-friendly paper straw in its UK and Ireland stores in September last year to replace plastic straws, causing some consumers to boycott. The eco-friendly paper straws are known to “dissolve” in milkshakes, causing complaints among consumers. Thirty thousand people have now signed a petition asking for plastic straws back.

A twitter user wrote: ‘I use this eco-friendly paper straw purely to save turtles, but the McDonald’s paper straw is actually just a piece of paper that rolls up into a straw and thickens it!! I took two sips and the straws started sticking together.”
Others complained: ‘these new straws are horrible, they get soaked so easily and they feel weird in your mouth. Isn’t there a better alternative?’
This is a problem because paper straws tend to soften and even dissolve in the drink under a lot of conditions, and they don’t taste good in the mouth and dry out the lips.

In addition, paper straws are made from trees, which require more logging, leading to desertification, lack of oxygen supply, and lack of a sand barrier, destruction of the biosphere, and irregular changes in climate due to rising temperatures. Although reduced Marine pollution, but is another damage to nature.
So, besides paper straws, are there any other straws we can choose from?

As you know, every time you go to Starbucks for coffee, you definitely need to use a straw. Around the world, 2 billion straws are consumed every day, most of these straws are disposable and discarded after use.This is causing very serious damage to the environment.

Worldwide, more than 790,000 volunteers picked up more than 430,000 plastic straws from shore in 2015, according to the Ocean Conservancy.These straws that you throw away at the beach are a life hazard for Marine animals. When the plastic straws are thrown away, the plastic parts in the middle oxidize and break down into small particles, making it difficult for Marine life to separate them from food. Around a million birds and 100,000 sea creatures die each year in the UK from eating plastic or getting tangled up in it. The volunteers also found a lot of plastic in the bodies of sea creatures near the beach.

Not only is there a huge amount of pollution from plastic straws, but there is also one possible problem with using plastic straws — health

The regular straw material is mainly food-grade plastic: polypropylene, commonly known as PP, can withstand the high temperature of about 80℃, and will not emit plastic smell when heated.

There may be a lot of harmful substances inside, and can not meet the requirements of health licensing, harmful to the human body.The telegraph reports that queen Elizabeth ii has banned plastic straws and bottles from all royal estates.
