Yes people are generally interested in Japan, it's an interesting place.
This story is also interesting because:
Nestle is a huge company
KitKat is very popular within and outside of Japan
Changing the wrapping from plastic to paper, for this product, in this volume, is a big deal.
If this link was for a similarly large market, meaning its environmental impact was similar, I would read it and be impressed, regardless of where it's from.
Yes Japan is fetishised by westerners but this story would still be interesting without it being related to Japan.
