What Kind of Recyclable Paper Straw Can MVI ECOPACK Provide?

Inrecent years, people have paid more and more attention to the environment onwhich we live, and the awareness of environmental protection is constantlyimproving. Consumers are more concerned about food safety and health,especially food packaging. Traditional plastic packaging has gradually beeneliminated. This article mainly introduces sustainable and environmentallyfriendly alternatives to plastic straws.

Accordingto report, all plastic packaging in the EU should be reusable or recyclable by2030. Environmentally friendly packaging with barrier coatings makes this goalachievable. The rising strain on the environment caused by plastic packaging isa major challenge at present. Therefore, the circular economy, which theEuropean Union launched with an action plan back in 2015, is an important step.

Plasticsare remarkable materials with a wide variety of properties and are durable, inert,and moldable. The problem arose when plastic became a single-use, disposablematerial on a daily basis. The world produces more than 400 million tons ofplastics every year, and 36% is destined for single-use materials, such aspackaging, which in turn generates 300 million tons of waste (UNEP 2018). Ofthat amount, only 9% is recycled, 12% is incinerated, and the remaining 79%accumulates in landfills and dumps or is littered in the environment, with halfof this amount coming from packaging waste (Geyer et al. 2017).

Ours uses 1piece of water barrier coated paper (100% recyclable and environmentallyfriendly), adopting ultrasonic heat-sealing technology without glue. Manypeople think that traditional paper drinking straws are recyclable because theyare made from paper, but this actually a big misconception.
