A new reusable straw corrects a key design flaw found in most reusable straws currently on the market. The straw, called One Bubble Straw, has a seam running from top to bottom that can be opened for easy cleaning. Once you’ve cleaned it using a standard sponge—or even just a paper towel—it rolls back into place.

一款新的可重復使用的吸管彌補了市場現(xiàn)有的大多數(shù)可重復使用吸管的一大設計漏洞。這款吸管名為One Bubble 吸管,有一條從上到下的接縫,打開之后很容易清洗。用標準海綿或僅僅用紙巾清洗過后,就能重新卷成原狀。

The straw is from Green One Lab, a sustainable product design and development incubator out of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The Lab has launched a Kickstarter for the straw, and plans to ship in October.

這款吸管來自Green One實驗室,那里是香港理工大學的可持續(xù)產(chǎn)品設計及研發(fā)中心。實驗室為這款吸管發(fā)起了Kickstarter眾籌,計劃于10月份上市。

The straw has a few added bonuses for bubble tea drinkers. It's extra wide to fit those boba pearls, has a beveled edge so that it can puncture plastic, and is sturdier than similar silicone straws that bend when you try to punch through a plastic seal.

對于喝奶茶的人來說,這款吸管有一些附加好處。它特別寬,容易吸到珍珠,吸管一端是斜的,可以刺破塑料,而且比類似的硅膠吸管更耐用,硅膠吸管在刺破塑料膜時會變彎。

The straw is, unfortunately, made from plastic. But it's foodsafe and 100% recyclable—and that's after you wear it out, which could take a while. It can be opened for cleaning at least 1,000 times. It's also dishwasher safe.

但這款吸管的缺點是它是塑料制成的。但是它具有食品安全性,而且用壞了之后100%可回收——當然要把它用壞得花上一段時間。它至少可以打開清洗1,000次,也可以用洗碗機清洗。
