I gguess he meant glass as container and Al/paper for covers, otherwise it doesn't make sense. Al foodware was removed from all school canteens decades ago where I live, that shit ain't touching my food.

Also, glass is heavy, so impractical for many uses. But yes seems largely inert unless you expose it to some weird fluorides (Things I won't work with series).

> Paper really can't be used for anything with liquids unless it's lined with plastic or a plastic-equivalent

Beeswax probably melts too easily to be used for hot liquids but I bet it would do the trick with "moist" things if not full-on liquids.

Bonus, greater demand for beeswax = cheaper honey and more bees around! :)

Interesting that the mocha pot that is common in Europe for making espresso is traditionally aluminum. I wonder if that has been studied.
