Brief Innovation

Green Joy is replacing plastic straws with environmentally friendly, natural straws made of Lepironia grass, which is abundant only in the Mekong Delta of Viet Nam. The production process is eco-friendly, with 90% of the process being automated and relying on solar energy, reducing electricity and water consumption and resulting in minimal carbon emissions. We are also piloting AI technologies in the sorting process to automate the production line.
