Is this only in the US or in the EU as well?
The other day I was really happy to see Pans&Co use all paper based packaging, including somewhat paper straws. Now thinking that those straws could contain these chemicals scares me a bit. Although the staws I used could only be used once or twice, they get all mushy after a bit (which is a good sign, hopefully).
- airstrike 4y agoDemand for straws in the EU is nowhere near the US. I'd wager the latter represents most of global straw consumption Some quick googling shows Europe consuming ~24 billion straws / year⁰ while the US consumes anywhere between 64–142 billion¹ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 0. https://www.statista.com/statistics/989916/consumption-of-plastic-straws-by-country-in-europe/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/989916/consumption-of-pl... 1. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/19/business/plastic-straws-ban-fact-check-nyt.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/19/business/plastic-straws-b...
