understand the difference between common straw
products and the associated environmental effects.

Plastic Straws

• Plastic straws have a short life-span because
  they are designed as a single-use product, which
  we use to consume the drink before it is tossed
  carelessly.
• It is a well-known fact that a single plastic
  straw can take up to 200 years to decompose. When
  the straws begin to break down, they release
  harmful toxins that pollute the environment. When
  exposed to hot water or streams, plastic straws
  can easily melt and leak toxins.
• It is easy to do your part to prevent the use of
  plastic straws Do not buy them in the
  supermarket and when ordering a drink, ask for a
  non-plastic straw.

PLA Straws

• Naturally, one would assume that since PLA straw
  is derived from natural ingredients, it would be
  better for the environment.
• The issue with PLA straw is that people feel that
  they are buying environmentally friendly
  products.
• Although PLA is biodegradable, PLA Straws are
  another one of plastic straws that will take
  several hundred years to break down in landfills
  and oceans.

Stainless-steel Straws

• Stainless-steel straw is the way to go so that
  you should reduce plastic waste and help save the
  environment. However the most expensive option
  when compared to its plastic and paper
  counterparts, you will not buy another pack of
  straw again.
• Stainless-steel straws are made, as its name
  suggests, stainless steel. It is the same
  material used to make cutlery, so it is safe to
  use and is chemical-free.

Paper Straws

• Paper straws are by far the most environmentally
  friendly alternative. Paper straws quickly break
  down and become compostable.
• However it is important to research the brand or
  conduct customer reviews before purchasing a
  paper straw product.
• Although paper straws may cost a little more,
  fresh drinks will give you good feeling only if
  you know that your straw will not have a negative
  impact on the environment.
