This is only popular here in HN because of japan. A lot of countries have used non-plastic paper for ages. But the ah always so mysterious japan makes it seem so interesting.

It really doesn't seem necessary to rip on people for being interested in things.
The green packaged one is for sale now here, but now i learned there is a black one. (which they dont sell at our local supermarkets)
slightly off topic, the black kitkat, those are dark chocolate kitkats? The green packaged one is for sale now here, but now i learned there is a black one. (which they dont sell at our local supermarkets)

Try searching HN for titles with "Japan" in them vs. for example, nearly any African country.
What makes paper "origami paper"?

Also will initially be applied to only 30% of the Kit Kats sold in Japan (5 types), they will change the packaging for the rest by 2022.
KitKats always used to come with metal foil (not plasticised) and a paper covering. I remember making small squares out of that paper and making origami models. http://www.heatspaceandlight.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/...
Is that the case in all markets? Japan, from all I hear, tends to wrap products in a lot of unnecessary plastic, so I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Japanese KitKats are wrapped with plastic to align with Japanese consumer expectation. Given that the article quotes a specific amount of plastic that Nestle is expecting to save though this substitution, I'm almost certain that their packaging is currently plastic.

It's especially annoying in Japan, as they also have super strict garbage policies and no possibility to dispose of things in public. That by itself is a great idea, if only they would stop giving me so much unnecessary garbage to carry around.
