Introduction
Before discussing these biodegradable straws in detail, we need to understand the reasons behind the emergence of these environmentally friendly, degradable straws, why they have a market, and why they are so popular. Only by analyzing these reasons can we truly understand whether these biodegradable straws are good or bad.
Advantages of paper straws
Environmental protection
Almost all cardboard drinking straws can decompose naturally in a very short time (90 days), unlike plastic straws which take hundreds of years to degrade. This makes them a much more environmentally friendly product, and this is where their value lies.
Policies
Due to environmental pressures, many countries, such as the United States, Australia, and those in Europe, have successively issued plastic bans and corresponding legal provisions to restrict the use of plastics. Therefore, earth-friendly straws are undoubtedly one of the best products available.
Image
Many companies, in addition to making profits, also need to have a sense of social responsibility. Choosing environmentally friendly eco-friendly paper straws can better showcase the company’s image, allowing consumers to feel the company’s sense of mission and thus increase goodwill and brand awareness.
Disadvantages of paper straws
Easily softens
Biodegradable plant-based straws are very prone to collapsing and softening during use, especially when soaked in hot drinks for extended periods. High temperatures accelerate the softening and collapse of the product. We generally conduct product testing, but for environmental reasons, we do not add excessive harmful ingredients or adhesives to avoid affecting human health. In this case, product softening is inevitable, and we can only try our best to control the softening time during manufacturing.
Poor texture
Many customers using biodegradable slush straws report a papery taste, and the texture is not as smooth as plastic straws. Many customers initially provide negative feedback, but with technological advancements, we are continuously improving the materials used to make the straws to enhance the customer experience. However, this less-than-ideal texture does not mean our products are harmful or unsanitary.
High energy consumption
The energy consumption during the production of cardboard straws is relatively high. Our products originate from forest trees, which are first processed into paper. This food-grade paper comes in different thicknesses and colors, and is then used to make straws of varying lengths and sizes. Because the manufacturing process is relatively complex, the energy consumption and cost are higher than that of plastic straws.
