Probably depends on the product. My local butcher sells most things wrapped in paper, but sausages come in a plastic bag (I have no idea why).

- logimus 4y agoDo you really think paper is more sustainable? In my place they burn the rubbish and paper even if recycled is more questionable.
- woodruffw 4y agoI didn't state a position on that. I only said my butcher uses both.
- aziaziazi 4y agoPaper comes from trees that extract carbon from air. Trees have a lifecycle wayyyyyy shorter that oil so when you use paper you’re on a ~50y removable scale which is more human manageable that the oil one.
- logimus 4y agoTakes oil and other non renewable to cut it and process. Plastic is more or less a side product of the oil industry. https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/sustainable-shoppingwhich-bag-best/ https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/sustainabl...
