01 Paper straw production process

In the production process, the production workshop generally uses paper straw machines for large-scale paper straw manufacturing. The manufacturing process includes steps such as splicing, gluing, rolling, cutting, and packaging.
When selecting raw materials for production, since paper straws are mostly used in food-related industries, food-grade paper should be used as raw materials during the production process.

02 Advantages and disadvantages of paper straws

As the first product to replace traditional plastic straws since the "Plastic Restriction Order" was promulgated, paper straws naturally have their advantages. First of all, this product conforms to the concept of environmental friendliness. Compared with the degradation time of plastic straws which take decades, most paper straws only take 3-4 months to degrade. Due to the strict indicators in the production process of paper straws, the products that pass the quality inspection will theoretically not precipitate any harmful chemical components.

However, paper straws still have many shortcomings that restrict its widespread popularity. First of all, consumers’ recognition is not high: on the one hand, the strength of paper straws is lower than that of plastic straws, making it difficult to poke open the beverage packaging, and it is easy to soften during use; on the other hand, affected by raw materials, paper straws The straw itself carries a slight odor.

03Estimation of the development of paper straws

Although paper straws are easy to degrade and are environmentally friendly, their shortcomings have affected their own effectiveness. It has been proved in the past two years that paper straws are not the best answer to the "plastic restriction order". Many beverage stores have replaced paper straws with PLA straws or other biodegradable straws.
