The oldest drinking straw in existence, found in a Sumerian tomb dated 3,000 BCE, was a gold tube inlaid with the precious blue stone lapis lazuliand In the 1800s, the rye grass straw came into fashion because it was cheap and soft.
Plastic straws became commonplace after World War II. The materials used in their manufacture were cheap, and the restaurant dishes they were paired with became more affordable and popular.
But plastic pollution is a problem if plastic waste is discarded indiscriminately, and they can be transported through the water to soil ecosystems and other ecosystems where they break down into smaller, more dangerous pieces than the original plastic straws. Water can break down plastic waste into microplastic and nano plastic particles. These particles are capable of spreading harmful substances, or they may themselves prove to be dangerous as they have been shown to negatively impact the surrounding environment.
It’s time to consider using eco-friendly straws. Sugarcane straws are a good choice.
Sugarcane is unique in that it helps turn ordinary sugarcane, a highly renewable resource, into a virtually zero-waste resource.
Since 2016, MOMOIO has been making straws from the highest quality materials. These sugar cane straws are plastic-free, BPA-free, plant-based, fully biodegradable certified organic, 100% compostable, and guilt-free to use every day.
Why are sugarcane straws ECO-Friendly?
When sugar cane is harvested and processed, one of the by-products is fiber or bagasse. Bagasse is basically crushed sugar cane or what is left over after all the juice has been pressed out of it.
Recently, MOMOIO has developed a way to use this leftover bagasse to make straws. Not only does this eliminate the need for sugar producers to remove the waste, but it also helps turn sugarcane into a zero-waste crop.
Momoio is an environmentally oriented company whose mission is to provide guilt-free, disposable, and reusable alternatives that you can use every day. We use the highest quality materials that are sustainable and biodegradable, leaving no impact. They are plastic-free, BPA-free, plant-based, and fully biodegradable.
Why are sugar cane straws greater
There are a lot of reasons why sugar straws are great – and that’s why people choose them! Let’s take a look at some of their benefits.
They’re cheap
Unlike metal, glass and bamboo straws, sugar cane straws are quite affordable. They cost a little more than plastic straws, which is a good price for the utility they provide. But there’s no guilt in using them.
They don’t soggy
Our bagasse straws don’t get completely soggy like paper straws that sit in the drink for hours and hours. Our straws can be resistant to soggy for over 24 hours.
You can just throw them away.
There are undeniably some conveniences to using and throwing away products. It’s nice to know that once you’re done with a straw, you can toss it in the trash without any regrets. These straws will slowly decompose and will not harm any animals.
You don’t need to wash them.
Unlike reusable straws, you don’t have to worry about cleaning sugar cane straws. As mentioned earlier, you can either throw them away or eat them. There is no need to take home wet straws in a wet bag or to clean them in the bathroom of a restaurant with a small straw cleaner.
They don’t harm the environment
Cane-based straws use mostly natural products, so they are sustainable and don’t have a huge impact. Throw them in the garbage and they will be sent to the landfill, where they will rot after a while.
Therefore, we can say that sugar cane straws are by far the best choice, the optimal alternative to plastic paper straws and paper straws.
