unfortunately sometimes wax paper is proposed as an alternative but although the name suggests it to be ecologically it isn't. most, if not all, "wax papers" use paraffin instead of wax

Paraffin is a wax, it's just synthetic (and all the issues that come with that). More concerning is that many "waxed" products contain PTFEs.

Also if you would use real wax, suddenly fruits and vegetables wouldn't be vegan anymore.

Or carnauba wax (which is already used in some foods).
