It would be interesting to run it against a data set with percentage of consumer packages in plastic wrapping.

Funny thing is that this whole packaging problem could be much improved with some regulation. You could force brands to put their products in large receptacles in the grocery store which would take the place of outer packaging from which you would remove them to buy them... the products you would buy would have a minimal amount of packaging. You could also regulate a certain set of standardized containers made of glass to contain items with easily removable stickers that could easily be cycled through the system.

I would love to see some artist take this up as a project and create an art display with this sort of imagined reality of what things could look like in a modern store with a bit of regulation pushing business to make packaging reusable.
