BACK TO EARTH 2.0

摘要

The old adage about the best defense being a good offense has probably never felt more real than for traditional plastic straw manufacturers right now, with single-use plastic straw bans becoming ubiquitous - including in Canada, where the federal government plans to eliminate them this year. For Brant-ford, Out-based Stone Straw Ltd. -whose namesake founder patented the artificial drinking straw back in 1888, and which currently is North America's largest independent dedicated straw manufacturer - the defense began almost two years ago, with the launch of its first version of ''Back to Earth'' straws made with compostable biopolymers.
