2021/02/14
As the ban on plastic straws approaches at the end of 2020, major catering companies and consumers are experiencing a transformation regarding straws. According to the regulations of the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the catering industry nationwide will no longer use non degradable disposable plastic straws. This policy is known as the "ban on plastic pollution" in the industry, aiming to further strengthen the control of plastic pollution.
Various environmentally friendly straws have been launched one after another
Faced with the challenge of the ban on plastic straws, many businesses are seeking alternatives. Paper straws have become a popular choice in the market, not only because of their environmental attributes, but also because some consumers believe that drinking beverages with paper straws has a sense of returning to tradition. In addition, there are various replacement options available in the market, such as biodegradable straws made from corn starch emulsion, bamboo straws, glass straws, stainless steel straws, etc.
The business opportunities brought by environmentally friendly straws
The popularity of eco-friendly straws has also driven a wave of new business opportunities. Some rural '90s generation' utilize local resources to produce high-quality wheat straw straws and sell them online, opening up a new path of entrepreneurship. In addition, some companies take this opportunity to vigorously promote their own environmentally friendly straws, which are not only environmentally friendly but also have extremely high "appearance value". The colors on the straws are printed with soybean oil ink, ensuring safety and security.
Challenges in Consumer Adaptation Process
However, consumers' acceptance of paper straws is not consistent. Some consumers have reported that paper straws have natural disadvantages in terms of water resistance and durability, and are not suitable for consumers who drink hot drinks or like to bite straws. In addition, the cost of paper straws is higher than that of plastic straws, which also limits their popularity in the market.
conclusion
Although the ban on plastic straws has brought many challenges, it has also driven the entire society to pay attention to and take action on environmental issues. With the continuous advancement of technology and changes in consumer attitudes, we believe that there will be more high-quality environmentally friendly straw alternatives in the future market, making our planet a better place.
