I don't think so, plastic wrapping is a massive boost for keeping food hygienic in transport and both to avoid waste and reduce pathogen contamination. Probably a much bigger benefit than the microplastic contamination.

It might be they will be like "shame they didn't have this awesome new material that has 0 environmental/health impact that we have today" though.

There are no clear substitutes for plastic in a lot of applications even when you disregard price.
