Don't laugh, apparently back in the day of steel wheel tractors 'heating wood chips' would produce a gas (methane?) that would allow an internal combustion engine to 'run'.
The big fins on the back were there to divert the lead compounds from entering the passenger compartment.
Let's leave lead out of the equation, the elite are still drinking their booze from containers made from glass with lead in them. (so all the carving can be done without the bottle shattering) Of course it leads to insanity but they have no clue that they are insane, as least the ones going that way from contaminated water are aware that something is not right.
By the sound of it you catch the first ounces that should be tossed away as it is a poisonous substance that will induce a lot more bad side effects than a splitting hangover.
I notice the Moonshiners finally started using potatoes for the mash. Wonder where that idea came from.
This is a garden from a single guy in some unnamed country.

Please tell me you used silver for soldier rather than lead based. (just so I take that into account when reading your posts)
Is that some sort of kinky sex thing that you do out on the Lone Pray-ree?
But of course.
Only the best for MY stills!
You really are misinformed aren't you? Where do you think all that plastic ends up? Look up Great Pacific Garbage Patch and you'll find out. From there it goes into the ocean food chain and eventually, if you eat fish, into your stomach. There is no longer "us" and "them" in regard to pollution. When any nation pollutes we all end up sharing it. A far better and less expensive solution is to not pollute in the first place rather than endlessly recycling throw-away products.
And then there is this little problem.

For decades they were the only type of straw available.
Simple - I doubt that any developing nation manufactures much in the way of plastic products. If there are no plastic straws they will switch to something else.
Did we? Manure pollution was a major problem in large cities, one the automobile solved. And then, of course, there is the fact that without modern transport, modern civilization could not exist.
Sounds exactly like the BS spewed by the tobacco industry in the 1960s and similar BS spewed by the oil industry regarding gasoline pollution.
That is one of the original uses of straw.

That and house construction. As codes improved, we moved from building houses with straw to building them with sticks and ultimately, using bricks.

So the plastic ban is mandatory now? I thought it was voluntary, anyway do you think these plastic manufacturers will shut down just because? Besides are the replacements on the market already? Are they cheaper? Who is invested in the new products to put all this pressure on plastics to be banned?
The paper shopping bag was deemed ecomurder through funding by the Koch bros who just happened to have a paraffin plastic bag ready to fill the gap.
Is the UK running out of that type of plastic and the PR spin is 'this crap'? Considering their next fighter is supposed to be a drone the straws might be the material used to create the 'swarm'.
