Single-use plastic straws are facing bans across the world as governments and businesses seek to reduce their plastic waste and protect the environment. However, there is a question over whether we should be replacing disposable plastic straws with biodegradable paper straws.
Do we actually need to drink through straws at all?
Well, the fact is that certain members of our societies depend on straws to make their lives easier and protect their dignity. This includes the elderly and people with particular medical conditions, who find it difficult to drink straight from the cup or glass.
In addition, with the popularity of takeaway drinks unlikely to fall any time soon, it’s important that there is an eco-friendly alternative to plastic straws available.
