Some disposable non-degradable plastic straws are harmful to human body, and plastic straws are difficult to recycle.

Disposable plastic straws are plastic products made of polymer compounds such as polypropylene, polystyrene and polyvinyl chloride. It has strong plasticity, low toxicity, high melting point and low production cost, but there are also many harmful factors.

firstly, it is harmful to human body. Toxic substances contained in the materials used to make disposable plastic straws will be dissolved and absorbed at higher temperature. When food is used by human body, these toxic substances will enter the human body, causing slight harm. Once it is used for a long time, harmful substances will accumulate in the human body, which will greatly damage human health. If the harmful substances in the raw materials exceed the standard, the damage will be even greater.

the second is the pollution to the environment. The polystyrene in the raw materials of disposable plastics makes the degradation cycle of disposable plastic products longer, and the time can be as long as 211 years. With the development of fast food and take-away industries, the demand for disposable plastic products has increased. Before developing more ideal materials, the plastic waste we produced has already reached an unpredictable value. Such refractory materials are extremely polluted, destroying the resilience of nature and destroying the environment, whether in the ocean or on land.

Finally, regarding the sanitary problems caused by disposable plastics. The price and cost of disposable plastic products are low. Among them, some unscrupulous merchants and factories often produce inferior products for profit, and the inferior products are mixed into the market for everyone's use, which makes it difficult to guarantee the quality of disposable plastic products. Inferior products will cause poor hygiene and quality monitoring, so it will bring great harm to the public.

in view of the numerous hazards caused by disposable plastics, and the large number of people who need them, it is very necessary to ban disposable plastic products, and to develop and popularize safer and more reliable materials.
