Some Italian bars serve their beverages using environmentally friendly pasta straws
The European Union has voted to ban single-use plastic items across the EU by 2021 in order to reduce plastic usage and safeguard the environment. Some Italian bars serve their beverages using environmentally friendly pasta straws instead of single-use plastic straws. In addition to biodegradable pasta straws used by Stroodles, a London-based firm, in Italy also employs these alternatives.
As a single-use plastic, plastic straws contribute approximately 4% of worldwide plastic pollution. Plastic alternatives are a positive development because of this.
