I would advice against using Wax paper in a microwave.
The wax would easily melt when heated up by the waves.
Wax would blend in with the food and then you eat it.
Not sure if eating wax is harmful in any way, but I imagine there being certain additives to it like anti fungal chemicals. Probably not very harmful in small quantities but still..
Plastic wrap, if choosing the right type, does not give off chemicals to the food.

Is paper better than plactic or is plactic better than paper?
Whether paper is better than plastic depends on how it is used. As a writing material, paper is often better. As a conveyance for flowing liquids, plastic is usually better than paper. For bags, if you are unable to use reusable grocery bags (which are readily available for very low prices but require periodic laundering), paper is the much better option. Paper bags, while not exactly environmentally friendly, can at least be composted or recycled. Plastic bags have very few secondary uses, and are almost always simply thrown in the trash.
