President Trump plans to issue an executive order reversing former President Biden's initiative to phase out plastic straws in the federal government. Trump criticizes paper straws for being ineffective and calls for a return to plastic.
President Donald Trump will try to put an end to what he calls a "ridiculous push" for paper straws ."I will be signing an Executive Order next week ending the ridiculous Biden push for Paper Straws , which don't work," Trump posted on social media Friday. "BACK TO PLASTIC!" Trump ’s executive order will undo measures taken by former President Joe Biden, who planned to phase out plastic straws across the federal government.
But paper straws aren’t holding up well in the environmental debate, either, research has shown. A study from the University of Antwerp in Belgium found that paper straws have more PFAS, better known as "forever chemicals," than plastic. The chemicals are linked to serious health problems like cancers, liver and heart damage, compromised immune systems, high cholesterol and developmental issues in kids. PFAs also take hundreds to thousands of years to break down in the environment.
