PLA straw material refers to the raw material used for disposable drinking straw products made from this material. Compared with traditional plastics, PLA straws have good environmental performance and can be completely decomposed into water and carbon dioxide under natural conditions, making them environmentally friendly.
Features
- Biodegradability: PLA straws can be completely degraded by microorganisms under industrial composting conditions in a few months to one year, without causing long-term environmental pollution.
- High safety: as a food contact material, PLA straws meet many food safety standards and are harmless to human body.
- Good transparency: the appearance is close to ordinary plastic straws, with high transparency, giving people a clean and hygienic feeling.
- Excellent processing performance: easy molding and processing, according to the need to produce different colors and shapes of products.
- Limited heat resistance: compared with traditional plastics, PLA has a narrower temperature resistance range (usually no more than 60°C), and is not suitable for overheated beverages.
Applications
- Catering industry: With the increasing concern of reducing single-use plastic pollution globally, many countries and regions have started to restrict or even ban the use of non-biodegradable single-use plastic products. In this context, PLA straws have become one of the ideal choices to replace the traditional plastic straws, which are widely used in fast food restaurants, coffee shops and other places.
- Daily life at home: In addition to commercial use, more and more families are inclined to buy and use these environmentally friendly straws to support sustainable development in a practical way.
- Special occasions: For events such as birthday parties and weddings, the use of colorful and safe non-toxic PLA straws not only adds to the festive atmosphere, but also reflects the organizer's support for environmental protection.
