Paper vs Plastic Packaging: Which One Should You Choose?

The paper-vs-plastic debate is more nuanced than you'd think. Paper wins on carbon footprint but plastic sometimes wins on cost per unit and durability. In this deep-dive we compare 8 SKUs on price, insulation, leak-proofing, shelf life and compliance with FSSAI norms. Our verdict: use paper wherever the food-contact time is under 45 minutes; move to bagasse or PLA-lined paper for hot gravies; retain aluminium for oven-reheated products.
