In 1995, the EU commissioned Maurice Palmer Associates (MPA) to undertake a survey of packaging of foodstuffs across Europe. They primarily focused on the UK and Italy, but the data were not correlated with foodstuff consumption.

MPA concluded that the different databases for food packaging materials for 15 EU Member States had a considerable amount of detailed information and probably contained far more detail than would be needed to derive food consumption factors, although the information could if necessary be refined on a country by country market share or packaging type basis. It is believed that this data has not been put to many, if any, uses to date as far as packaging of foodstuffs consumed is concerned.
