Plastic straws are to be replaced by recyclable paper straws, edible or biodegradable material, individually packaged in “hermetically sealed envelopes made of the same material.”

According to the resolution, those who do not comply with the law will be fined, and the amount may be doubled in cases of recurrence.

The amount collected will be used for environmental programs.

In São Paulo’s capital city, straws have been banned since June 25th.
