Straws are important products in both developed and developing countries. In recent years, the food service packaging industry has developed rapidly. While bringing convenience to people's life, more and more randomly discarded plastic straws and similar products begin to burden the environment, while paper straws gradually show their advantages because of their recyclability.

Paper straw is a kind of environmental protection straw, which can degrade and disappear in the soil after a few months of use. The global paper straw market can be geographically divided into North America, Asia Pacific including Japan, Latin America, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.

In March 2018, the UK and other developed countries issued a "plastic restriction order" to reduce the pollution caused by plastics. Subsequently, some other developing or developed countries, such as India, South Africa, Thailand and Costa Rica, also took similar measures to restrict the use of plastic straws and promote the importance of paper straws. Customers' choice of environmentally friendly packaging is the main driving force for the growth of paper straw market. However, due to the higher cost and slightly higher price of paper straw than plastic straw, it may become an obstacle to the development of paper straw market.
