What do you mean "used to be"? Go to Amazon. Paper straws definitely exist.

Georgia Pacific (now Koch Industries) in Crossett AR where I grew up used to have a bunch of such equipment. And a milk carton factory, too. Probably all sold to scrap by now. Milk carton production was a big process, but straws, not so much. Someone could knock out paper straw manufacturing easily. As someone stuck with a lot of pulpwood at $7/ton, paper straws are at least a start.
