The researchers sampled 39 brands of straws made of paper, bamboo, glass, stainless steel and plastic. Of those, 27 were found to contain PFAS, though the concentrations were low.

Paper straws, on the other hand, were the most likely to contain PFAS, with 18 out of 20, or 90%, of paper brands testing positive. They were also found in four out of five bamboo straws, three ...

One study out of the University of Antwerp in Belgium showed that paper straws — as well as those made of glass and bamboo — are coated in PFAS, aka "forever chemicals." Here's what to use ...

Drinking straws that are made from materials like paper and bamboo are often promoted as more eco-friendly than their plastic counterparts. However, a new study has found that these supposedly ...

Meanwhile, bamboo straws — another highly touted green alternative — clocked in second with 80%, followed by 75% of plastic straws, 40% of glass straws, and none in steel straws. 4.

The bamboo straws demonstrated compressive strength of 16.42–19.01 MPa and bending strength of 14.21–15.02 MPa, surpassing the performance of paper and PLA straws.
