Reed straws—paper straws—plastic straws, eventually evolved into polylactic acid (PLA) straws

Straws are an ordinary object in our daily life. However, such a very common thing has condensed the wisdom of human beings for thousands of years.

There is not much information about the history of straws, but a poet more than 1200 years ago left clues about straws for everyone. The poet Du Fu once wrote a poem when he saw off his younger brother Duya. There is a line in the poem: "Yellow sheep's chicken does not smell, and it is drunk with reed wine." The "reed wine" is the wine that is sucked in a wine barrel with a reed pole.

In the Ming Dynasty, Yang Shen also explained reed wine in the article "Yilin Cutting Mountains Lu Wine": "Reed wine is made of reeds, sucked and drunk. Today's sucking wine is also." Very fond of home brewed wine.

Evolving to modern times, in 1888, American cigarette manufacturer Marvin Stone got inspiration from cigarettes and invented paper straws. (Cigarettes and straws can actually communicate with each other!!!)

In 1866, after the invention of plastic, plastic was gradually applied to the production of straws. In the middle and late 19th century, plastic straws with strong flexibility and beautiful appearance gradually replaced paper straws.

Today, the ubiquitous plastic pollution makes people realize the role of environmental protection. More environmentally friendly materials are needed to replace plastic straws, and polylactic acid straws have gradually entered everyone's field of vision. Friends who love to drink milk tea may have discovered that the straws for drinking milk tea have all become biodegradable PLA straws.

Henan Techuang Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is a modern green and environmental protection enterprise integrating R&D, production, sales and technical services, providing services for biodegradable plastic bags and products.
