The straw leftover from harvested wheat has many applications as an alternative to plastic and tree-based paper products. Wheat straw is generally treated as the agricultural waste that remains after grain and juice is extracted from crops. In many countries, a common disposal method for wheat straw is field burning which releases harmful substances into the air and contributes to air pollution. Utilising wheat straw for other purposes instead of disposing it through burning, aids in offsetting carbon, N₂O, and dust emissions. Apart from high greenhouse gas savings, it does not compete with food supplies nor damage ecosystems. This sustainable, biodegradable resource can be used to create various products which are suitable for everyone’s lifestyle.
Wheat straw is a valuable resource and can be utilised to create products such as kitchenware - food storage containers, bowls, lunch boxes etc.
