Conventional plastic straws and corn plastic straws did not decompose after 120 days under marine conditions. They have preserved their shape and lost only 5% of their total weight. In the meantime, eco-friendly straws developed by the research team lost more than 50% of their weight after 60 days and decomposed completely after 120 days.

100% biodegradable paper straws that do not become soggy

For their artificial fairy, Hao Zeng and Jianfeng Yang got inspired by dandelion seeds.
