A use case is already stated in the article:

"So far, paper packs have been the most common alternatives to plastic containers. But business experts have pointed out that consumers are less willing to buy goods in paper packs because they cannot see the contents. Transparent paper could overcome this problem, but bringing the material to market will require factories with the technology to mass-produce it."



What are paper packs? I can't think of anything that could be qualified of "paper pack" and be currently in use as a replacement for a "plastic container".

I know I don't want to use paper BAGS because they break super easily when carrying goods but that doesn't seem to be what the article is talking about.


Some consumers. In the context of e-commerce, product is on a screen, does it matter?
