While plastic has many valuable uses, we have become addicted to single-use plastic products — with severe environmental, social, economic and health consequences. One of these items is the plastic drinking straw, billions of which were given out in the coffee shop and restaurants, or as part of takeaway meals, years ago because of its cheap cost.
In recent years, sustainability is becoming a strong pervasive trend in the word when more and more people prefer using paper straw instead of plastic straw to reduce negative affects to the environment. It requires all straw manufacturers need to be changed their direction to be sustainable.
As a pioneer in sustainability, Henkel offers AQUENCE® ST - an innovative, sustainable water-based adhesive solutions for paper straw manufacturing.
