Fig. 4: Sensitivity analysis and Monte Carlo simulation of required recycling rate.
From: Economic viability requires higher recycling rates for imported plastic waste than expected
The selected countries include the Netherlands (a–e), the USA (f–j), Malaysia (k–o), the Czech Republic (p–t), and Turkey (u–y). Sensitivity analysis and Monte Carlo simulation results for other countries are presented in Supplementary Figs. 7–15. The length and colour depth of the horizontal bars represent the range of sensitivity results. The variable ‘product price’ refers to the value of recycled plastics.
