Bag to Basic’s Perfection meet Creativity!

Plastics straws are everywhere. Two Australian scientists, Denise Hardesty and Chris Wilcox estimated that there are between 473 million and 8.3 billion plastic straws on the world’s shores and beaches. These straws take up to 200 years to degrade making it impossible to eliminate plastic straws from the environment. To help reduce the problem, the group team came up with an eco-friendly product that is mostly made up of recycled drinking straw with affordable price but will not make you look cheap. The main purpose of this innovative recycled bag is to lessen the disposal of plastic straws that may block the drainage, go into the oceans and harm the marine life.

Of all the plastic products that we use everyday, plastic drinking straws are the most unnecessary. It is designed for single-use and discarded after. Straws are made of polypropylene, which degrades slowly and is not easy to recycle. They may break down but only into smaller pieces and will definitely scatter through other places, leading to negative impact on the environment. This straws divert to unintended destination such as drainage that blocks the water from flowing and oceans that harms the marine organisms by being mistaken for food. After researching about the common and long-term problem, the team proposed a solution that will not totally resolve the big problem but hopefully lessen the problem and ease the effect to human, animals, and environment. This product is called fastrawnista. It is a fashionable bags that is mostly made of used drinking straws. This product aims to help in conserving resources and lessen the disposal of straws in stylish way.
