    Ok. Find me a single product that’s coated in 100% wax. Not one that’s coated in 98% plastic with a 2% wax additive.

      No more goalpost-moving, don’t ask another question until you’ve done an iota of research. Are you trolling?

      100% pure wax coatings are an entire multi-billion dollar sector of the packaging industry. Spend a second to research it yourself before making plastic-licking comments.

      Wax-Saturated Corrugated Produce Boxes are the heavy-duty boxes used to ship wet ice-packed broccoli, celery, and seafood across the country are submerged in cascades of 100% pure petroleum or natural wax. It completely saturates the cardboard to make it waterproof without a single drop of plastic film.

      Mini BAbybel cheeses are wrapped in a blend of paraffin and microcrystalline waxes, with zero plastic polymers. It’s designed to act as a breathable, protective crust that is completely non-toxic.

      Brands like Ulta Bravo make highly popular commercial kitchen wraps using organic cotton coated strictly in a blend of pure beeswax, tree resin, and jojoba oil.

      Thousands of examples

        Wild to complain about goalpost moving and then using checks notes corrugated boxes as an example of non-plastic coffee cups.

        I do remember using tree resin in coatings. It was part of the polymer of course, but we did write bio based eco friendly on the label.

            No, you simply listed a bunch of stuff that’s coated in plastic and insisted that it’s not plastic.

            Reminds me of this time I went to a plastic conference and watched the organizer cut the mic from a presenter and kick him out for showing evidence plastic recycling wasn’t real.
