The biodegradable nature of paper straws is conducive to resource utilization

The raw materials of paper straws mainly come from renewable pulp, which is usually sourced from sustainably managed forests. This means that when producing paper straws, the felling and planting of trees are carefully planned to ensure the sustainability of forest resources. By adopting responsible forestry management, manufacturers can ensure that they maintain ecological balance and protect biodiversity while meeting market demand.
In the process of producing paper straws, manufacturers generally use relatively less energy and water resources, and the environmental footprint is significantly smaller than that of plastic straws. This process mostly does not require the use of high temperature and high pressure processes, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and, in turn, greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the production process of paper straws increasingly uses environmentally friendly materials and technologies, such as water-based coatings, further reducing the impact on the environment.
The biodegradability of paper straws allows them to return to nature safely after use. When paper straws are put into the soil, microorganisms break them down into organic matter, providing nutrients and promoting soil health. This is in stark contrast to traditional plastic straws, which take hundreds of years to degrade and can cause serious pollution to soil and water sources in the process.
The degradable properties of paper straws can help reduce the ecological pressure caused by plastic pollution. The harm caused by plastic straws in the ocean to marine life has become a global concern. The promotion and use of paper straws can effectively reduce plastic waste in the ocean, protect the marine ecosystem, and reduce the risks faced by marine life that accidentally ingest plastic.
