if you go to plastic to paper straws. paper straws are more expensive. there is quite a range out there. i see them from half a a cent. the good news. the amount a typical food establishment spends on straws is less than 1% of their operating cost. if this portion increases but with it going on request it looks like that is going to offset that cost increase in many if not most cases. if you have a 50% reduction in use and you are paying 30 to 50% more, 50/50 is a wash. here is an example of outer lands that found a 90% reduction in their use of straws by going on request. it was a net savings for them. another example of a bar that used a lot of straws and plastic straws and picks. they switched to paper and wood. one of the things a lot of places found was because of the plastic straws and picks that often had food on them, they couldn't compost the food. they weren't going to separate it. it was all going to the trash. by switching to wood and paper they were able to reduce their trash service. they are actually saving $900 a month, $10,000 each year.
