I'm not sure anyone does that.

We have plastic food containers for some of our food (inside a wooden
chest). Our visible source of sekanjabin syrup is a glass container,
but our reserve supplies are in 2 liter diet coke bottles hidden
between the food chest and the food tent wall. Our garbage goes into
a plastic garbage bag inside a cloth bag. Our fire is lit with
matches.

So I don't think the question is whether one is perfectly authentic
so much as whether one tries to be more authentic where practical,
and increasingly authentic over time.

We aren't going this year, but the Enchanted Ground will be there for
people who want to join it. Organizing is being done by Stephen Bloch
