Everyday about 500 million plastic straws are used world wide and it is one of the least recycled items of the plastic waste thus demanding ban on these straws world wide including India. The plastic straws dumped at beverage points and tourist places such as beaches, mountains and forests are creating problem for the environment as well as biodiversity. Replacing the plastic straws with wheat based straws will not only serve ecosystem but will also provide additional income to farmers. Pusa Srijan has been developed through indegenous breeding efforts. This genotype is an ideal choice for making single-use biodegrable straws due to its unique traits. The plant stands about 140 cm tall with four average number of tillers. The internode length and diameter are just perfect to cut them into variable size of hollow pipes. The storability of the wheat straw has been found unaffected at ambient storage conditions. The wheat straws don't leave any undesirable color or odour in the different beverages having pH range of 4.0 - 7.5. The strength and flexibility are just perfect.
