It's all about recycling.
If you remember, it wasn't that long ago that McDonald's used plastic foam packages for their sandwiches. The environmentalists complained for years, and eventually, McDonald's gave in.
Some plastic is recyclable, but not in that many places around the world (remember McDonald's is everywhere), so they stick with paper.
