There are some countries where prescription medication is dispensed using brown paper bags instead of the low grade plastic carriers used in S'pore. However, the reality is that paper is less biodegradable than low grade plastic.

Some of that wood could be recycled industrial plywood, bleached with chemicals.

Just bring your own chopsticks to eat McDonalds Big Breakfast.
