Honestly cardboard and paper replacements have been working fine for everything except straws. Unless it can do that better I’m not seeing much point

We already have compostable straws made from plant-based plastics.

What about the pasta straws? I’ve seen it mentioned once, but nothing since.

Sure try it, but keep in mind it won’t work for celiacs, and some folks won’t enjoy the extra starch leeching into their drink as it soaks

Airtight packaging? I don’t see many things not sold in plastic wrapping.
