Biodegradable pla straws are not only used for takeout, office, banquet, family reception, etc., but also for drinking coffee, alcohol, soy milk and other beverages. Plastic straws are cost-effective and easy to use, making them the first choice for many people. However, plastic straws are difficult to degrade in the soil and cause great harm to marine life. Straw manufacturers use green and environmentally friendly PLA degradable straws to replace common plastic straws. So what are the advantages of PLA degradable straws compared with plastic straws?

PLA (polylactic acid) is a new type of biodegradable material. Its production method is: starch is extracted from renewable plant resources (crops such as cassava and corn), and the starch raw material is saccharified to obtain glucose, which is then metabolized and fermented by bacteria to produce high-purity lactic acid, and then high-molecular-weight polymerized lactic acid is obtained by synthesis, and then processed and formed into various biodegradable straws with good performance.

Biodegradable pla straws have good biodegradability, degrade to generate CO2 and H2O, do not pollute the environment, and can meet the needs of industrial composting. The degradable pla straws after high-temperature extrusion have good thermal stability and good solvent resistance. The gloss, transparency and feel of the product can replace petroleum-based products. The physical and chemical indicators of the product can meet the requirements of local food safety regulations. Therefore, it is widely used and can basically meet the needs of most beverages on the market.

Degradable pla straws have good moisture resistance and airtightness and are stable at room temperature, but they will automatically decompose when the temperature is higher than 45°C or when they are rich in oxygen and microorganisms. Pay special attention to the temperature during the transportation and storage of the product. Long-term high temperature will cause the PLA straw to deform.

Due to the limitations of raw material properties, degradable pla straws cannot be used for hot drinks during use. They are more suitable for cold drinks. I believe that in the future, with the continuous improvement and innovation of technology, we will gradually develop pla compostable straw products that are both high-temperature resistant and environmentally friendly.
