Are there paper straws really better than plastic straws? 

英国的麦当劳于2018年 9 月淘汰塑料吸管，改用可以回收再利用的纸吸管。号称能够被轻易的分解，无需特殊处理，就算流进海洋中，也能够自然溶解。
McDonald's in the UK eliminated plastic straws in September 2018 in favor of paper straws that can be recycled. Which called will easily break down, without special treatment, and can be dissolved naturally even if flows into the ocean.

 

但有不少顾客反应由于纸吸管的材质太软，没多久就在饮料当中溶解。麦当劳为了全面提升纸吸管的「口感」，推出了第二代加厚版纸吸管。
But some customers complained that straw was too soft and so soon dissolved in the drink. McDonald's has introduced the second generation of thickened paper straws to improve their taste.

虽然纸吸管可以回收，但是加厚版的吸管，却由于材质太厚无法再次进行加工，也只能先当一般垃圾丢弃。
Although the paper straws can be recycled, but the thickened version of straws, used too much paper material, thicker can’t processed again. Only be discarded as general garbage.

许多食品企业纷纷表示淘汰塑料材质产品改用可回收的纸质产品，最初目的是为了绿色环保的社会环境贡献力量。可是，为了满足顾客的需求一再加厚吸管，未充分考虑后续的回收和处理，这可能给公共垃圾管理系统带来潜在的问题，从而导致更高的社区处理成本并且与当初的理念大相径庭。所以，纸吸管也不见得比塑料吸管更加环保。

More and more food companies have said that the original purpose of replacing plastic products with recyclable paper products is to contribute to the environment. However, repeated thickening of straws to meet customers' needs and insufficient consideration of subsequent recycling and disposal may lead to potential problems for public waste management systems, resulting in higher community disposal costs and a departure from the original concept. So, the paper straws aren't more greenery than plastic straws.
