Summary

This study developed biodegradable drinking straws from seaweed-based bioplastics using low-speed homogenization, demonstrating that optimizing blend formulation and mixing dynamics produced straws with improved water resistance, hydrophobicity, and biodegradability compared to commercial paper straws, offering a more sustainable single-use alternative.

Seaweed-based bioplastic straws produced by low-speed homogenization show improved water resistance, hydrophobicity, and biodegradability, offering a sustainable alternative to commercial paper straws.
