PLA Biodegradable Straws Help You Find Your Love for Milk Tea

Under the national ban on plastic straws, major coffee and milk tea beverage shops seem to have replaced paper straws overnight. But what I didn't expect was that the paper straw was broken due to the liquid being softened, or the paper scraps were left in the drink, and it was drunk into the belly. Netizens, represented by the control of milk tea, were ranting about it.

Paper straws or not the optimal solution

Under the plastic restriction order, paper straws may not be the best solution. After all, the consumer experience is not good, and the manufacturing cost has also increased a lot. Therefore, some restaurants have chosen Compostable PLA Straws. Although the cost is slightly higher, the user experience is no different from traditional plastic straws, and it is also environmentally friendly.

Today, the editor takes everyone to learn about PLA biodegradable plastics and how WACKER VINNEX® additives used in PLA plastics can improve the material characteristics and processing performance while maintaining the biodegradability of the material, so that it can be processed And use it is more environmentally friendly.

PLA biodegradable straws VS paper straws

PLA is a new type of biodegradable material, which is made from the starch raw materials proposed by renewable plant resources such as corn.

From the processing point of view, PLA biodegradable plastic has good mechanical properties and high stiffness. It also has high visual transparency, which can be described as the coexistence of strength and beauty.

From the perspective of processing methods, PLA degradable plastics can be degraded in only 90 days under industrial composting conditions. The environmental performance is remarkable.

PLA biodegradable plastic straws compared with paper straws:

Use experience: PLA straws are too strong, which are more stable than paper straws, and will not be softened and bent when exposed to (warm) water, and there will be no residues such as paper scraps mixed into the drink.

Knocking on the blackboard: Most importantly, the PLA straw can suck up the pearl taro coconut... It will not get stuck in paper straws due to adhesion.

Environmental protection: PLA, like paper straws, can be completely degraded by microorganisms in nature after use, and eventually carbon dioxide and water will be generated.
