This dataset provides national, regional, and global estimates of plastic waste generation, collection, and emissions from the SPOT (Spatial Plastic Optimization Tool) material flow analysis model. It includes comprehensive metrics on waste generation, collection coverage, disposal methods, and resulting emissions of macroplastics to the environment.

The data covers waste generation (WG), properly collected waste (PWG), per capita metrics, plastic debris emissions, burn emissions, litter, uncollected waste, collection and disposal emissions, recycling, collection coverage, disposal types (controlled/uncontrolled), management practices, and population without collection services.
