Plastic Straw
Waste
In recent years, concern has mounted over the increasing
quantities of single-use plastic items that are becoming part
of our everyday lives. One of these items is the plastic
drinking straw, billions of which are given out in cafés and
restaurants, or as part of takeaway meals, every year.
Plastic can be used to save wildlife, but it can also be
extremely dangerous, especially when we over-produce,
over-use, and over-consume and then fail to reuse, recycle,
and/or dispose of it properly.

 5 NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF PLASTIC

STRAW

TAKES UP SPACE PRODUCES CHEMICAL

The weight of plastic is only a fraction of the
problem. Most plastic waste is lightweight, but
takes up space, so the volume or the space that
plastic waste takes up is a bigger problem.
POLLUTION
Plastics are essentially made from oil and gas.
Mining these nonrenewable resources produces
harmful chemicals like benzene, toluene, and etc.

Kills Ocean Life KILLS TERRESTRIAL

This plastic debris affects all kinds of ocean life,
from sea turtles to ocean birds to sharks to fish
and everything in between
CREATES MICROPLASTICS
WILDLIFE
Plastic also harms the environment by
killing land animals. Just like their water-
dwelling counterparts, land animals
haven’t evolved to deal with ocean
pollution

Microplastics have been shown to affect

soil quality, the microbes that live in it,
and the tiny insects responsible for
decomposition.

 5 SOLUTIONS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE
Metal Straw
Metal Straws are the most popular choice of
reusable straw. Made with high quality stainless
steel, they are super durable so won't break or
bend, plus they are non-toxic, stain-free, rust proof,
scratch proof and 100% recyclable.
Volunteer
Community Volunteer means a person who
engages in an activity or performs a service for or
on behalf of, without profiting monetarily
Recycling
Recycling is the process of collecting and
processing materials that would otherwise be
thrown away as trash and turning them into
new products.
Reduce waste
Waste reduction is anything that reduces waste by
using less material in the first place. Reducing waste
can be as simple as using both sides of a sheet of
paper, using ceramic mugs instead of disposable
cups, or buying in bulk rather than individually
packaged items.
Proper Waste
Proper disposal means placement in a
designated waste receptacle, or other suitable
container, and discarded in a refuse container
which is regularly emptied by the municipality
or some other refuse collector;

Functional Art Product
I present to you my own creative bag that is
made from used plastic straw. I like to call it
"SUTURE" (su-chur) because by this bag we
sustain the natures health in this case we try to
eliminate or reduce the plastic straw waste that
helps us with different solution to our problems.
This bag is also artsy for the creativity of the
process I exert.
