Global Biodegradable Straws Market Definition

So, you've probably heard of PLA, right? That's just a fancy name for those biodegradable plastic straws made from plant stuff – mostly corn starches and oils. Because they're made from plants, they're supposed to break down naturally, but mostly in special commercial compost facilities. Here's the deal they're not quite as tough as regular plastic straws. But! They do feel a lot like plastic. You know, that familiar plastic-y feel.

Think about ita plastic straw is practically free (around half a cent), but a paper one can cost around 2.5 cents! Plus, get thismaking all those "eco-friendly" straws means cutting down a lot of trees. That's made environmentalists, governments, and activists pretty angry. Less forest equals more pollution, so... yeah. It looks like the paper straw market is going to have a tough time in the future.
