      I did read some argument that for certain foods, if they removed the plastic wrapping, the expiration would happen so much faster that food waste would increase by a lot. I honestly have no idea if waxed paper would work as well though.

      I do agree that hopefully alternative solutions can be found in any case…

        These plastics are single-use. The vast majority of plastic I come across in my groceries is destined for the garbage, not the recycle.
