Also, at least in the EU, the laws have not just banned public straws but also a bunch of other single-use, non-degradable items. Plastic cutlery, qtips, and takeout food containers were banned too or severely limited. And there’ve been a lot of improvements that incentivise reusable containers over throwaway ones too.
The thing with single use containers is, that its not really existent. Its not enforced and a lot of restaurants don’t care. I’ve never seen a single reusable food container in my entire life.
