Are paper straws actually better than plastic straws?

Telling Paper

Disposable paper straws are made from plant material, so they don’t produce any waste when used and can be recycled. They also have a small ecological footprint, which is good because a smaller footprint means less environmental impact. One of the benefits is that paper straws are compostable.

Why do people not use plastic straws?

Plastic straws are not recyclable, so they end up in landfills and incinerators, and litter our streets, parks, and roadsides, clogging our drains, rivers, lakes, streams, and polluting our environment where they can last for more than 200 years.

Plastic straws are a particular hazard. They’re so small and light that they end up stuck in the turtle’s nostril and through the penguin’s stomach.” Whether fully formed or broken down into small pieces, the plastic straws that pollute our oceans continue to harm wildlife and, by extension, the environment.
