According to the "Opinions on Further Strengthening the Control of Plastic Pollution" issued by the state, by the end of 2020, the use of non-degradable disposable plastic straws will be banned in the catering industry throughout the country. This measure is good for the earth and future mankind. To protect the global environment and reduce garbage pollution, plastic products need to consume a lot of valuable oil resources. Restricting the use of plastic products can greatly save petroleum resources. With the formal implementation of the plastic ban on straws, the catering industry has stopped using non-degradable plastic straws and replaced them with paper straws and PLA polylactic acid degradable straws in response to the national call. Almost twice the size of a paper straw. Although the cost of a single straw is very low, the number of straws consumed by tea shops is huge. Considering the cost, many milk tea brands start with paper straws, because each non-degradable plastic straw costs about 1 cent, and each paper straw costs about 3 cents, while PLA polylactic acid degradable straws cost the highest, about 5 cents each, nearly twice as much as paper straws. ?

But for consumers who drink milk tea drinks, it undoubtedly greatly reduces the pleasure of drinking milk tea. It is difficult to pierce the milk tea mouth and drink milk tea. Drink milk tea for a long time, the straw will be a little rotten, and the food in milk tea will not be sucked up. Moreover, the paper straw has obvious expansion. If you touch it with your hands, you will feel soft and easily deformed. Users who have milk tea paper straws said that the straws will gradually soften during use, and the sudden dispersion of drinking paper straws will greatly affect the taste of milk tea. Drinking milk tea with a paper straw is like eating a sanitary paper core. Many milk tea consumers complain about the poor experience of using paper straws. Although high-quality straws are environmentally friendly, the use experience needs to be improved. The most important way to solve this problem is to step up efforts and develop new materials and processes as soon as possible. The price may be lowered after mass production, which requires the joint efforts of the government, scientific research units and enterprises.
