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…

The sheer amount of plastic that goes in the trash any time I take a trip to the grocery story

Do people not recycle plastics in your country?

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