A few cities around here have required paper straws and they almost immediately turn to mush. I've used paper straws in other countries, they were typically waxed so they didn't just fall apart.
For some reason I've seen ads for a company selling a collapsible metal straw called "Final Straw". Seems like overkill, where it comes in a case along with a cleaning brush like the ones I used to clean baby bottles. Also comes in a variety of anodized colors.
There are other makers of reusable metal straws.
The reason they no longer make metal canteens for water is that they eventually rust inside. I don’t want to drink out of a possibly rusty straw.
We do need a plastic alternative. It’s gotten into our food supply. You can’t trust sea salt anymore. And fish are eating it.
