The end of our long paper straw nightmare is in sight.

Students to the rescue. I don't know why those paper straws were so badly designed either.

I wish it would explain better how it works and what it does. This is rather general.

Yes. I wonder if that's intentional. This other article mentions enzymes and has some photos taken over three time periods. https://the-european.eu/story-60626/meet-the-earth-prize-winning-teenager-tackling-the-worlds-microplastic-crisis.html

thing is with the pictures if its still visible it should be larger than even microplastic size.
