Donald Trump President has signed an executive command to end the US government effort to replace plastic straws with paper.
Immediately the current order reverses a measure signed by the former president Joe Biden, called the “crisis”.
Last week, he sold Trump plastic plastic straw in the 2020 election campaign – he said “do not work” and dissolve “disgusting” in the mouth of consumers.
In 2024, the Biden gradually promised the purchase of plastic straws, as well as plastic cutlery and vessels.
Trump Directives has ordered the government agency to stop buying paper straw and require a strategy to remove them from national level.
“We return to plastic straw,” Trump said reporters on the white house on Monday.
“These things don’t work, I’ve been doing it, and sometimes they explode. If something hot, they don’t have a very long time, sometimes a few seconds. It’s ridiculous,” Trump said.
As part of a broader effort to focus on plastic pollution, the Biden Administration reported 2027 food containers, operations and events and from all 2035 federal operations.
Trump has been a long-time critic for paper straw.
Finally, when he chose President in 2020, he sold “Trump” plastic plastic straw.
In total, the campaign gave about $ 500,000 from the straw sales in the first few weeks.
Some statistics Use the amount of drinking straw used In the US 500 million days – although this figure is very controversial and true that this could be about half.
Several US Cities and States – Seattle, including Washington; California; Oregon; And New Jersey – They have taken the rules that limit the use of plastic straws or provide companies only after customers requested.
The UN environmental program statistics show that 460 million metric tons are produced every year, which contributes to the ocean and microplastics that can affect human health.
Some studies have shown that paper straws, however, that there are significant amounts of “permanent chemicals”, such as polyfluoroalkol substances or PFA.
PFAs can be in the environment for decades, infect water supply and can cause many health problems.
