Eco-friendly paper straws contain more toxic ‘forever chemicals’ than plastic straws, study finds

A new study found that a vast majority of so-called “eco-friendly” paper straws contain more toxic “forever chemicals” than plastic straws.

European researchers examined 39 brands of straws available in Belgian stores. The study analyzed straws made of paper, bamboo, glass, stainless steel, and plastic. The study sought to determine whether the straws contained a harmful group of synthetic chemicals known as poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances or PFAS.

PFAS are a class of between 12,000 and 14,000 human-made chemicals that are made by combining fluorine and carbon.
