"Eco-friendly" paper drinking straws contain long-lasting and potentially toxic chemicals, a new study has concluded. In the first analysis of its kind in Europe, and only the second in the world, Belgian researchers tested 39 brands of straws for the group of synthetic chemicals known as poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). PFAS were found in the majority of the straws tested and were most common in those made from paper and bamboo, found the study, published in Food Additives & Contaminants. PFAS are used to make everyday products, from outdoor clothing to non-stick pans, resistant to water, heat and stains. However, they are potentially harmful to people, wildlife and the environment. They break down very slowly over time and can persist over thousands of years in the environment, a property that has led to them being known as "forever chemicals." They have been associated with a number of health problems, including lower response to vaccines, lower birth weight, thyroid disease, increased cholesterol levels, liver damage, kidney cancer and testicular cancer.

(since no one is reading my tags or other reblogs): this post has an addition. the addition is specifically about co-mingle recycling in most usamerican cities. always check your local guidelines for recycling. the point of this post was not to tell you what you can or can’t recycle, anyway. the point was that a lot of recycling gets thrown out because it’s fucking contaminated. if you can’t clean your recyclables to keep them from contaminating a whole bin, just put it in the trash. you don’t need to feel guilty about it... that's it. that's why i wrote the post.

#this is not a character judgement against him btw i'm just surprised #working at a landfill and recycling plant no matter how short a time will seriously turn you into the kind of person #who un-contaminates recycling bins #i'm in there digging plastic straws and bags and food-soiled containers out of the recycling #because otherwise the entire bin will be trashed

पेपर स्ट्रॉ की बढ़ी मांग, ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों में भी कर सकते हैं ये मुनाफे का व्यवसाय

1 जुलाई 2022 से भारत सरकार नें सिंगल यूज प्लास्टिक के उपयोग पर प्रतिबन्ध (Single Use Plastic Ban) लगा दिया है, इसके कारण बाजार से प्लास्टिक की वस्तुएं गायब हो रही हैं. प्लास्टिक के इन्हीं उत्पादों में से एक “प्लास्टिक स्ट्रॉ” (Plastic Drinking Straw) है. प्लास्टिक ड्रिंकिंग स्ट्रॉ का उपयोग अक्सर पेय पदार्थो के लिए किया जाता है.

प्लास्टिक की वस्तुओं पर बैन लगाने के सरकार के इस फैसले से देश में पेय पदार्थ उत्पादक कंपनियों को बहुत नुकसान हुआ है, और इसी का असर है कि अब प्लास्टिक ड्रिंकिंग स्ट्रॉ की जगह पर पेपर स्ट्रॉ (Paper Drinking Straw) की मांग में तेजी आई है. बाजार में पेपर स्ट्रॉ की बढ़ती मांग के कारण पेपर स्ट्रॉ निर्माण एक बड़े व्यवसाय का रूप लेता जा रहा है.

एसी स्थिति में ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों में भी पेपर स्ट्रॉ निर्माण बिजनेस का एक अच्छा विकल्प हो सकता है, जिससे लाखों कि कमाई हो सकती है.

लेकिन प्रश्न है कि कैसे पेपर स्ट्रॉ का बिजनेस शुरू कर सकते हैं ?

व्यवसाय प्रारंभ करने के पूर्व लेनी होगी सरकार से निम्नलिखित बिंदुओं पर अनुमति :

• सूक्ष्म, लघु और मध्यम उद्यम मंत्रालय से रजिस्ट्रेशन • जीएसटी रजिस्ट्रेशन • रजिस्ट्रार ऑफ कंपनीज • फर्म का रजिस्ट्रेशन • दुकान अधिनियम लाइसेंस • IEC कोड (The Importer -Exporter Code (IEC)) • एक्सपोर्ट लाइसेंस • आग और सुरक्षा • ESI (Employees’ State Insurance Corporation) इ.एस.आई. • प्रोविडेंट फंड (Provident fund (PF)) • प्रदूषण बोर्ड से No Objection Certificate • स्थानीय नगरपालिका प्राधिकरण से व्यापार लाइसेंस

किसी भी होटल, रेस्तरां या उत्सव में कोल्ड ��्रिंक, नारियल पानी या लस्सी के लिये स्ट्रॉ का इस्तेमाल किया जाता है. छोटे जूस व्यवसायियों से लेकर बड़ी बड़ी डेयरी या सॉफ्ट ड्रिंक कम्पनियां तक स्ट्रॉ का इस्तेमाल करती है. अब जब सरकार ने प्लास्टिक स्ट्रॉ पर भी प्रतिबन्ध लगा दिया है, तो पेपर स्ट्रॉ की मांग और ज्यादा बढ़ गयी है.

पेपर स्ट्रॉ निर्माण के लिए सामग्री :

पेपर स्ट्रॉ निर्माण का व्यवसाय शुरू करने के लिए कुछ चीजों की आवश्यकता होती है, जिसमे सबसे जरूरी कागज रोल और स्ट्रॉ बनाने वाल��� मशीन, दूसरी पेपर कटिंग मशीन. इन चीजों से पेपर स्ट्रॉ का कारोबार प्रारंभ किया जा सकता है. इसके लिये रंग भी महत्वपूर्ण सामग्री होता है, जिससे स्ट्रॉ को रंगीन और आकर्षक बनाया जाता है.

पेपर स्ट्रॉ बनाने का तरीका :

सबसे पहले पेपर रोल व रंग अथवा स्याही को पेपर स्ट्रॉ बनाने वाली मशीन में डालते हैं, जिसके बाद मशीन दोनों को मिलाकर स्ट्रॉ का निर्माण करती है. पहली मशीन से तैयार हुए स्ट्रॉ के मिश्रण को दूसरी मशीन में रखा जाता है, जिसमें निश्चित आकार व नाप के अनुसार टुकड़ों में काटा जाता है, और इसके बाद पेपर स्ट्रॉ बनकर तैयार होता है.

अगर किसी अलग डिजाइन या नए तरीके का पेपर स्ट्रॉ बनाना चाहते हैं तो इसके लिये मशीन की सहायता लेना होता है.

पेपर स्ट्रॉ के निर्माण के बाद इसका सही ढंग से पैकेजिंग करना होता है ताकि बाज़ार तक पहुँचाया जा सके. 25, 50 या 100 की गिनती में स्ट्रॉ का एक-एक बंडल बनाया जा सकता है. पैकिंग सामग्री के क्षमतानुसार बंडल बनाया जाता है, जिसे बाजार में बिकने को भेजा जाता है.

Hi there! I was looking to purchase some of your prints, but on Society6 it says that you haven't uploaded any designs even though you have it says you have 103 designs on your profile. Is this intentional? Or is something with the shop not quite working?

I pulled all my designs from the shop earlier this year when the site implemented a new policy that significantly cut into the already meager profits of artists. I'm not currently selling anything anywhere. I had planned to relocate to inprint but I haven't set it up yet.

#sorry! I should get cracking with that #I had heard rumors of the quality of society6/redbubble goods declining over the years so I had been feeling apprehensive for a while #they also consistently used more plastic in their products than I would've liked but that's a pet peeve thing #the reworking of the payment model was the last straw #answered #anonymous

When plastic straws were banned, new alternative straws of paper, bamboo, and glass were advertised as more sustainable, eco-friendly, and healthy. Groffen’s team wanted to know if they hold up to the hype, but they found that the majority of them do not. With the exception of the stainless steel straws they tested, all of the brands they examined—which are commercially available in Belgium—contained chemicals that are harmful not only for the environment, but also for people. Known as PFAS, which stands for poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances, and dubbed forever chemicals, these compounds don’t break down under heat or sunlight and dissolve in neither water nor oil. For a few decades these PFAS were the darlings of the chemical industry, used in everything from fire-resistant cushions to water-repellant clothing and from nonstick pan coating to disposable plates. Unfortunately, what makes PFAS so durable in kitchenware and other products is also what makes it last so long in the environment. More importantly, in recent years, scientists have linked them to a gamut of damaging health effects, including thyroid disease, high cholesterol, pregnancy problems, liver damage, and several cancers. They have also been linked to adverse reproductive, developmental and immunological effects in animals. The team found PFAS to be present in 90 percent of the paper straws, 80 percent of bamboo, 75 percent of plastic, and 40 percent of glass ones.

Heart really likes to chew on rubbery things (ex: pencil grips) and has a strong bite, Mind really likes to chew on soft fluffy things (ex: sweater) and has a soft bite, and Soul really likes to chew on hard crunchy things (ex: plastic) and has a medium bite

Also hms all also communicate with growling, purring, ect.

bad straws

pros and cons about straws

Plastic straws:

CONS: can never be properly recycled, last for centuries, never fully degrade, single-use, pollution, harmful to wildlife, plastic poisoning / micro plastic have a direct route to body

PROS: single use so slightly more hygienic, good for some disabled people who have issues with motor skills

Paper straws:

CONS: cant be recycled, sometimes contain plastics, emit greenhouse gas when they break down, can be bitten through by those with issues with motor skills, can go soggy fast

PROS: biodegradable, renewable, safe, hygienic and durable

Metal straws:

CONS: can conduct heat and become very hot if used with hot beverages, stiff, hygiene issues,

PROS: highly durable, can be cleaned 100% via boiling (cleaner then plastic!!) non toxic, long lasting, reusable, recyclable if broken

Silicon straws:

CONS: sometimes have a plastic taste similar to single use plastic, food can stick to them, sometimes aren't bendable,

PROS: non toxic, very easy to clean, long lasting, non plastic, reusable, safe, come in all sizes and shapes

wood/bamboo straws:

CONS: can spoil and rot, not as safe, deforestation especially if not bamboo, least hygienic, stiff, greenhouse gas when it breaks down

PROS: reusable, can break down, if bamboo it will be naturally antibacterial, so they're hygienic.
