Alternatives To Plastic Straws
Plastic straws aren't recyclable and end up in landfills or the ocean. It is estimated over 60 million straws are consumed per day around the world. There are, however, alternatives to disposable plastic straws:
- Paper straws
- Bamboo straws
- Bioplastic straws
- Glass straws
- Stainless steel straws
There are campaigns in the United Kingdom (Straw Wars) and United States (The 1:1 Movement) which encourage alternatives to plastic straws and/or to not ask for straws when ordering drinks.
