Environmentally friendly drinking straw
A drinking straw includes an elongated tube formed of fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) resin, the elongated tube including an inclined surface at a first end, the inclined surface having a curved member wherein a sidewall of the elongated tube is at a first predetermined angle with respect to the inclined surface. The first predetermined angle is between 45-degree and 60-degree.
The invention relates to drinking straw and more particularly to an environmentally friendly drinking straw having an elongated tube formed of fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP).
2. Description of Related ArtA drinking straw is a small pipe that allows a user to more conveniently consume a beverage. The drinking straw is a thin tube of paper, bamboo, stainless steel, plastic, or other material and is used by placing one end in the mouth and the other in the beverage. Drinking straws can be straight or have an angle-adjustable bellows segment. Several countries, regions and municipalities have banned plastic straws to reduce plastic pollution.
The invention aims at providing an environmentally friendly drinking straw.
