About the straws:

NATURAL STRAWS: These natural, eco-friendly straws are made from sugarcane fiber. They are tasteless and have a light, sweet aroma, so you can enjoy a scented biodegradable straw without changing the flavor of your beverage. They come in a variety of sizes, including wide for specialty drinks and boba tea. Plus, they never get soggy!
BIODEGRADABLE & COMPOSTABLE STRAWS: These are compost-friendly, biodegradable straws. Toss them in your garden or compost bin after use! Our sugarcane straws are a wonderful alternative to plastic because they are safe for the earth. Also, unlike plastic drinking straws, our eco-friendly straws contain absolutely no chemicals or toxic materials.
LONG-LASTING & FUN: Paper straws often become soggy and begin breaking down while you are using them, leaving paper bits in your drink. They also sometimes have a strange taste. Our sugarcane straws are durable and can be used multiple times a day in any beverage. They are speckled light brown and are washable for reuse within one day.
HIGH-QUALITY: Our world-class team is passionate about sustainability and quality. We are proud to have strict manufacturing, quality-assurance, and quality-control standards in place for our trusted, exceptional products. Our products are so easy to switch to and so high-quality that you may not notice the difference between them and traditional plastic products.
SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS: We want to build a sustainable future. All of our products maximize existing natural resources and by-products to minimize waste. They leave the earth as naturally as they enter it. Our products are sourced from regions that support local farming initiatives. We strive to support the community as much as we do Mother Nature.

            @mckayver: Exactly what I just did a couple of weeks ago after running out of my stash of Hungry Jacks and Maccas plastic straws. Bought 200 (should be very similar to HJ's/Maccas plastic straws in dimensions) for ~$5 AUD delivered.

                @mckayver: These are the ones I bought (the black ones, which were the cheapest at $2.49 per 100 at the time). The bendy straws are cheaper but I specifically wanted the straws to be just like HJ's/Maccas plastic straws (straight straws with dimensions like that - ~19cm long/~6mm wide) and these were the cheapest I could find that actually listed the dimensions.

                Should last me a while. I should've bought a while back actually, as I now have to keep hand washing my last plastic straw while I wait for them to arrive haha.

        Removing single use plastic straws has little to no positive affect on the environment & increasing the production of impractical stainless steel straws is worse. It's not a solution.

        The environmental impact of steel production

        Steel production has a number of impacts on the environment, including air emissions (CO, SOx, NOx, PM2), wastewater contaminants, hazardous wastes, and solid wastes. The major environmental impacts from integrated steel mills are from coking and iron-making.

        Climate change

        Virtually all of the greenhouse gas emissions associated with steel production are from the carbon dioxide emissions related to energy consumption.

        Emissions to air

        Coke production is one of the major pollution sources from steel production. Air emissions such as coke oven gas, naphthalene, ammonium compounds, crude light oil, sulfur and coke dust are released from coke ovens.

        Emissions to water

        Water emissions come from the water used to cool coke after it has finished baking. Quenching water becomes contaminated with coke breezes and other compounds. While the volume of contaminated water can be great, quenching water is fairly easy to reuse. Most pollutants can be removed by filtration.

        Waste

        Slag, the limestone and iron ore impurities collected at the top of the molten iron, make up the largest portion of iron-making by-products. Sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide are volatized and captured in air emissions control equipment and the residual slag is sold to the construction industry. While this is not a pollution prevention technique, the solid waste does not reach landfills.

        Gaseous emissions and metal dust are the most prominent sources of waste from electric arc furnaces.

          But buying the enviro straws makes us feel good.

          There are two environmental concerns here which you're blurring the line between. One is the environmental carbon and atmospheric pollutant impact. Which you're right - in many cases alternatives to plastic products are detrimental to this. But the other one is the sustainability of ecosystems due to non-degradable plastic waste accumulation.

          A single plastic straw takes 50 years to disappear. Think about it. Every single packet of chips you've ever had in your lunchbox for your entire life is still out there somewhere sitting in dirt. Already in some places this pollution is so bad that it has blocked water from reaching the water table. It's an unnatural material that nature has not found a way to effectively and rapidly decompose. At our current usage rates we'll choke off ecosystems that provide food and destroy biodiversity.

          So to say a single straw doesn't count - it's the same as saying a single vote doesn't count in an election. Every vote counts. Because you have your sphere of influence which collectively can move things in the right direction. 'Sustainable' is not a politicised word used by hippies. It's a scientific measurement that the current rate of progress cannot continue without adverse effects.

            @Jatacid: So we get less plastic in landfill and the oceans but more CO2 in the atmosphere.
            Perhaps the acid rain from the CO2 will dissolve the plastic

            At least the air will be cleaner because there won't be extra CO2 in it because of the metal strawers being produced.

          It's about plastic pollution which has a disastrous effect on wildlife. Turtles with plastic straws stuck in their nasal passages. Birds with can rings around their wings etc.

          Best solution is to not even use straws if possible.

            • spaceflight on 26/09/2021 - 09:47

              @dufflover: No the best solution is to not use them.

              Not littering them if you use them is the next best thing.

              Using them still means they can get into the environment. Just because you put it in a bit doesn't mean that is magically taken care of so that it doesn't cause any extra environmental damage.

            It does not mean that plastic straws are the worst thing. The alternative could be worse.

      Thank the greenie who inserted a straw up a turtle's nostril for his fake video by never voting Greens.

      I rarely get McDonalds but every time I have their paper straws expire before the drink is finished. What is it about McDonalds… their food doesn't taste like food, and even their straws are awful. It's not like it's some difficult technology to make a decent paper straw, because straws used to be paper long before USA junk food brought plastic straws to Australia with them. I remember anywhere you bought milkshakes had waxed paper straws. Maybe that's why… McDonalds is too damn cheap to pay the 1 cent per 100 straws it would take to wax coat them.
