It's too much in developed nations. Went to Tokyo and almost every thing is wrapped in plastic over plastic without guilt. They say its burned/recycled but not sure how much is true and how much impact it is bringing to the surroundings.

The volume of packaged foods in developing nations are comparatively lower but can't imagine the footprint it could cause when those nations also develop into heavily packaged FMCG consuming behemoths.

True, in Iran everybody buy their fruits and vegetables from designated stores that only sell those. you can have even bring your own container to consume zero plastic. in Denmark it is not even an option. Day to day groceries are bought in supermarkets with insane amount of plastic wraps.
