Listen, I’m totally down for bioplastic straws. They’ve got a different texture and are far more brittle, but still compostable and lasts more than long enough for me to enjoy my drink.
I don’t get why customers at my work hate them so much. To the point some will bring their own straws if we don’t have the regular plastic milkshake straws.
It’s weird…
Saw in an Italian LIDL, noodles repackaged as straws. Didn’t try them but they should taste terrible, especially with hot drinks (and lethal for celiac people)
I tried them once, liked them. Ate them after using them once, as it is impossible to keep them from rotting in the long run. They were just a bit too expensive, though, so I probably won’t repeat that experience.

Compostable garbage is still garbage. In a landfill it doesn’t decompose properly and causes methane, which is worse than CO2.
Point is, the whole thing is stupid unless we do proper composting. So I kinda get byo-straws.
What about a noodle shaped into a straw? Even if you toss it out the window at least it’s biodegradable.

As long as it goes out the window and not into a landfill, that’s good
You heard it here, throw your biostraws into a ditch!
Yes!
Except most of those are only compostable in industrial compost settings. Side of the road isn’t hot enough.
With climate change, it soon will be.
