Ethical drinking straws include reusable options like stainless steel, silicone, and glass, which reduce waste over time. Biodegradable straws made from bamboo or paper are good for single-use situations but may not always hold up well. Plant-based straws like PLA offer a lower environmental impact but need industrial composting. Edible straws, such as those made from wheat or seaweed, are a fun, eco-friendly choice. Consider longevity, functionality, and disposal when choosing the best option for your needs.
