A movement towards green consumption lead to the appearance of paper straw


Food and related industries actively looked for the alternatives to plastics straw.

Finally paper straw made its debut as the most efficient alternative in the late 2010's.

Paper straw sales exploded in a short time and still continue to grow.

Paper straws have become almost ubiquitous in bars and fast-food outlets as the hospitality industry has rushed to ditch plastic in response to a consumer backlash. But while they may not linger in the environment for 300 years or so like those made of plastic, paper straws leave a lot to be desired.


Then, what about Paper Straw?


Is it safe or not?

Paper Straw is a greener option, but not a green one. 

It's production emits more CO2 and wastes more water than the plastic straw. Even worse it contains toxic chemicals, too.
