That waxy coating is very likely just plastic. Wax coating of paper products has dropped out in favor of plastic and that makes those paper products unrecyclable.
- jacobolus 8y agoWax-coated paper is also unrecyclable. We are talking about biodegradable here, not recyclable. Disposable plates and paper boxes covered in grease and food bits or soggy with liquid also shouldn’t be tossed in the recycle bin (except in places which explicitly accept them), with or without a coating.
