About this Dataset

Global Plastics Outlook - Plastics Waste In 2019 By Region And Application

This dataset provides estimates of plastics waste per polymer and application for the 15 global regions of the OECD ENV-Linkages model, detailed in the Annex of the OECD Global Plastics Outlook.

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.
