Bamboo instead of plastic new opportunities for the development of the straw industry

The latest policy, the national government and other departments jointly issued the "three-year action plan to accelerate the development of "bamboo instead of plastic", clearly put forward to strengthen policy guidance and scientific and technological support, and promote "bamboo instead of plastic" products in more fields and in a wider range of alternative plastic products. Specifically, it includes improving the certification system of laws and regulations, increasing policy support, encouraging public institutions to actively purchase relevant "bamboo instead of plastic" products, giving full play to the role of industry associations, and fully ensuring the development of "bamboo instead of plastic".

The implementation of this policy has also promoted the development of the environmental straw industry to a certain extent.

According to the latest report of the United Nations Environment Programme, "From Pollution to Solutions: A Global Assessment of Marine Litter and Plastic Pollution", a total of 9.2 billion tons of plastic products were produced globally between 1950 and 2017, of which about 7 billion tons became plastic waste, however, the global rate of plastic waste** is less than 10%. A 2018 scientific study published in the journal Open Science of the Royal Society found that plastic waste in the ocean is now at 07.5 billion - 19.9 billion tonnes, or 85% of the total weight of marine litter.

Such a huge amount of plastic waste is a wake-up call for humanity. Without effective interventions, the amount of plastic waste entering water bodies is expected to nearly double each year by 2040 to reach 23 million to 37 million tonnes per year.

As of 2022, more than 140 countries have clearly formulated or issued relevant plastic ban and restriction policies. There are also many international conventions and international organizations that are also taking action to support the international community to reduce and phase out plastic products, encourage the development of alternatives, and adjust industrial and policy policies to reduce plastic pollution.

At the moment,Finding plastic alternatives is an effective way to reduce the use of plastic at the source and reduce plastic pollution, and it is also one of the important measures to deal with the global plastic pollution crisis.

The PLA straw machine designed by the founder Mr. Ling Hongjun and the R&D team is dedicated to the production of environmentally friendly straws - biodegradable PLA straws.

plaStrawsIt is a straw made of PLA (polylactic acid) material, a degradable material extracted from starch, and this straw canIt naturally decomposes within a certain period of time and eventually becomes a non-toxic and harmless substance。What's more, it also has a similar feel to use as traditional plasticsIt is an ideal alternative to traditional plastic straws

The environmental protection straw machine in the picture below adopts the patented screw design of BM separation type + pineapple nail structure, which is suitable for the mainstream straw materials on the market, and improves the mixing and plasticizing effect of raw materials in the production process to ensure the quality of the PLA straws produced.
