What are the advantages and disadvantages of paper straw, ordinary plastic straw and PLA straw?
Most of the traditional plastic straws are produced from PP material, which is characterized by high temperature resistance, cheap price, transparent and odorless. Of course, the disadvantages are also obvious. According to statistics, the annual usage of plastic pollution is more than 10 billion yuan, and it has become the biggest harm.
Paper straw, from the raw material is also a degradable straw, after all, the paper itself is also degradable. Paper straws, which are slightly more expensive than traditional PP straws, are being phased out because of their poor taste, especially their softness after immersion in liquid, which seriously affects smoking.
Biodegradable straws are generally referred to PLA straws, and some high temperature resistant biodegradable straws are also added with PBS. PLA and PBS are both biodegradable raw materials, which effectively ensure the degradation performance of the final product. Biodegradable straws not only meet the degradable performance, but also can almost be comparable with PP straws in taste. The only disadvantage is that they are too expensive and relatively brittle.
Of course, at present, the PLA degradable straws have been widely recognized by all factors, and the traditional PP straws and paper straws are also being phased out in the market.
