The eco-friendly straws are made from the stems of a plant (Levillonia) that was cultivated in the suburbs of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Even after using a straw, the tube is not wrinkled, not wet and still strong as plastic straws.
As a completely natural and biodegradable product that does not contain any chemical substances, it can be used as livestock feed or agricultural fertilizer after use.
The center of the levillonia stem is hollowed out, and the process is completed with high temperature sterilization and UV sterilization.
It has passed high hygiene standard inspections in terms of quality and sanitation.
The texture is smooth to the touch. It is also very popular for its unique appearance and the slight scent of grass.
Plastics will take 100-200 years to decompose to natural. A lot of plastic goes into the ocean every day from improper disposal, therefore causing pollution
The impact on marine life is a very serious situation. It is reported that by 2050 the combined weight of plastic will weigh more than the weight of marine fish.
Against this background, proper management of plastics, including de-plasticization, has become a global issue.
The government and private sectors therefore work together to develop alternative products such as paper straws or biodegradable straws etc.
In recent years, Vietnam has maintained its economic growth. However, in Ho Chi Minh City, nearly one-third of the working-age population lacks stable, non-seasonal employment.
The widespread use of grass straws has led to employment for local rural communities and young people, where employment is declining.
It will also be a fair trade product that is purchased and sold at a fair price without extreme price reduction.
