Recent News:
- Several manufacturers of paper straws announced improvements in biodegradable coatings in August 2024, which increase water resistance and strengthen paper straws. The fresh coatings prolong the workable life of a paper straw when placed in a beverage, particularly thicker ones like smoothies and milkshakes, where people always complain of sogginess.
- Announcing Expansion of Production Capacity in August 2024, a few key players in North America and Europe announced the expansion of their production capacities owing to the growing demand for paper straws due to the ban on plastics. This includes adding new production facilities and investing in automation to smoothen production.
- During the EU Compliance Surge in July 2024, European manufacturers scaled up production in line with the European Union's single-use plastics directive, which requires a full phase-out of plastic straws by mid-2024. Most SME players moved into paper alternatives well ahead of demand in most areas of the region.
