Plastic straws are more than just drink accessories—they’re instruments of environmental harm, taking up to 200 years to decompose and posing a particular risk to marine life. The damage begins from the process of resource extraction and continues all the way to the release of toxins into your beverage. Micro/nanoparticles are also released from the straw and can be ingested or inhaled during use. While biodegradable straws are often considered a better option, not all alternatives are equal. For instance, coconut leaf straws offer a sustainable drinking straw solution, but paper straws may not be a true alternative. When paper straws become soggy, they leach chemicals into your drink, and they are much worse for the environment than previously thought, wasting up to 100 times more precious water to produce than traditional petroleum-based plastic straws.
