    Everyone already hates stupid paper straws. The question is whether we can make disposable straws out of materials that don’t have pfas. For example — corn starch plastic, pfas? Bamboo — coated like the paper straws?

      The report includes bamboo straws as a source of PFAS as well. Their ultimate recommendation is metal straws which do not have PFAS, are reusable and recyclable

      I have reusable bamboo straws and love them. They’re a little thick but work well and clean up good. Never gets soggy like paper!
