這個創業故事相當有啟發性。通過利用蒲草、廢耕農地、農村勞動力這三個元素，台灣初創企業玩艸植造種植及銷售天然吸管給不同店家，推廣循環經濟，協助台灣實行在2030年全面禁用一次性外帶飲料杯及塑膠吸管的目標。
玩艸植造用被廣泛視為雜草的蒲草製造天然吸管。蒲草不但質地硬實，遇水不易軟爛，還可耐100度以上高溫以及完全自然分解。在越南，蒲草已經被拿來製成吸管。這種種植更加重啟廢棄農地循環利用，吸納面對農村老化的青農。

[Sustainable Development Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production] Taiwan Natural Straw Start-up Wonder Greener Promotes Circular Economy
This story is very inspirational. By making use of the three elements of bullrush, waste farmland, and rural labor, Taiwan’s start-up Wonder Greener is planting and selling natural straws to different stores, promoting circular economy, and assisting Taiwan to fully implement the goal of banning disposable take-away beverage cups and plastic straws by 2030.
Bullrush, which is widely regarded as overgrown weed, is used by the start-up to make natural drinking straws. Bullrush is not only hard in texture and difficult to soften when exposed to water, but also can withstand high temperatures above 100 degrees and completely decompose naturally. In Vietnam, bullrush has been used to make straws. This kind of planting further makes use of abandoned farmland for circular economy, and attracts the young farmers who reside in rural areas that are facing the aging of population.
