One of the advantages of plastic, and basically the reason why people started to use plastic in the production process, was its longevity. In today's world we know its negative effects on the environment. People began to look for more environmentally friendly variants of products that protect our planet.
Plastic straws end up on the beaches, in the sea, which is why the European Union has passed a law banning the production and sale of disposable plastics. One plastic straw decomposes for about 200 years.
What about its ecological variant - a paper straw?
Decomposition process of paper straw
Due to forces from the outside environment, the paper begins to smudge and peel, breaking it into smaller pieces. Subsequently, the paper is mixed with plant and animal residues. The last phase of decomposition process of the paper straw consists of bacterial decomposition of the mixture and the composting process. The resulting product is old compost, which serves as an excellent source of nutrients for plants. Plastic straws, on the other hand, never decompose completely. The decomposition of plastics is a long-lasting process that ends in the decomposition of the material into small particles, the so-called microplastics that are harmful to both animals and humans.
Not all paper straws dissolve in your drink immediately
INIPEX paper straws are created with modern technology, which allows us to produce a million straws every day. However, it does not mean that the quality of our products is lower. For the production of straws we use paper of the highest quality from renowned manufacturers from Germany and Sweden. We produce paper straws in three-layer and four-layer designs according to your requirements.
Three-layer paper straws last 60 minutes in the drink, while four-layer paper straws are thicker, stronger, but more durable. Thanks to this, you don't have to worry. They won't immediately fall apart in your drink.
