The Plastic Crisis: Understanding the Impact
Every day, over 500 million plastic straws are discarded in the US alone – enough to circle the Earth 2.5 times. With global legislation tightening against single-use plastics, businesses need viable alternatives. Sugarcane straws have emerged as a leading solution to this environmental challenge.
