Reasons for switching to paper straws:
1, data show that in 2018, global plastic production was as high as 360 million tons, of which one-third was produced domestically. Packaging, construction, automobile manufacturing, etc. Are the downstream industries of plastics, of which packaging is the field where plastics are widely used.
2. Traditional plastic straws include polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride and so on. These materials not only consume petrochemical resources in the production process, but also are difficult to degrade. It takes hundreds of years for a discarded straw to completely degrade in the natural environment.
3, in order to alleviate the white pollution caused by plastics, countries around the world have issued a "plastic limit order", businesses and consumers have begun to look for environmentally friendly alternatives to plastics.
4, in the plastic application of very many packaging fields, the current common alternatives are mainly paper products, with paper bags instead of plastic bags, paper straws instead of plastic straws.
