Extended Data Fig. 2: Global value chain analysis of the carbon footprint of global plastics recycling in 2015 (50 Mt CO2-equivalents).
From: Growing environmental footprint of plastics driven by coal combustion
Global value chain analysis of the carbon footprint of global plastics recycling in 2015 (50 Mt CO2-equivalents). The format is the same as in Fig. 1 of the main article, except that Indonesia is part of ‘Other Asia’ and South Africa is part of ‘Other regions’ in this figure. It shows the cradle-to-gate GHG emissions of global plastics recycling, and excludes the GHG emissions of resin production and further manufacturing (which are shown in Fig. 1 of the main article).
