Plastic Waste In 2019

The dataset displays estimations of plastic waste in 2019, in million tonnes (t) of plastic for the 15 global regions of the OECD ENV-Linkages model, detailed in the Annex of the OECD Global Plastics Outlook.

Additional information: Plastic waste is calculated as a function of plastics use (in volumes), following Geyer, Jambeck and Law (2017), using a methodology based on lifespan distributions. The complete methodology can be found in the Annex of the OECD Global Plastics Outlook.
