There is no denying that coffee culture is here to stay. People love to gather in their favourite coffee shops to see and be seen while enjoying their favourite beverages. However, it would be irresponsible not to consider the impact of these activities on the environment. Plastic is an oh-so-convenient commodity, but its environmental effect continues to be a massive cause for concern. So, read on to learn more about why coffee shop owners are increasingly turning to green packaging and paper straws for their businesses.
A Commitment To Reducing Plastic Waste
The use of plastic straws has been shown to harm the environment. According to WWF Australia, they can take up to 200 years to decompose. In addition, they frequently find their way into the ocean, causing untold harm to marine life. Paper straws, by contrast, are biodegradable and will be turned into compost in as short as two months, leaving no ecological impact.
Superior Sipping Experience
If you are worried about negatively impacting your clients’ sipping experience by switching to paper, fear not. Despite what you might think, they are durable enough to last as long as it takes to enjoy a drink and won’t turn to mush. Your clients will have a reliable and enjoyable sipping experience every time.
Design Versatility
Paper straws are not boring; they are now available in various design options to suit your establishment. From candy stripes to art designs, multiple colours and thicknesses that are suited to both hot and cold drinks are available.
Why Choose Paper Straws?
Remember that your customers also care about the environment, so by switching to paper, you are aligning your brand with sustainable practices that will appeal to your eco-conscious consumers. It is a win-win situation with a positive planetary impact and a boost for your business.
Sipping responsibly with paper straws is more than a trend; it is a movement towards a cleaner, greener future. At Planet Friendly Packaging, we are committed to helping you on your green packaging journey, and you can start one sip at a time by choosing paper over plastic for your coffee culture clientele.
