According to reports from the "Japan Today" website, Japan has recently made greater progress in reducing single-use plastics. Watermi, a major chain of residential food houses in Japan, is undergoing important changes. They will gradually eliminate plastic straws from their inventory and replace them with bamboo fiber straws to help Japan reduce plastic use and protect the ecological environment.
Bamboo fiber straws are called bamboo straws, which are completely biodegradable within a few months. Even if people accidentally ingest it, they are safe for the human body.
Bamboo straws can not only help protect the ecological environment through natural degradation, but the use of bamboo raw materials can also help eliminate the potential drawbacks of bamboo forests in Japan. Although bamboo forests are very beautiful, they also have some potential problems. Their underground stems grow very fast and tend to crowd out or even strangle other plants. Sustainable use of bamboo can effectively solve similar problems.
At present, the bamboo raw materials of chain residential restaurants such as Watermi are mainly imported, and the quantity is limited. Such bamboo straws will be provided only when the guests request. Therefore, if you are dining in such a chain store, please request to use bamboo straws.
