Global Plastics Outlook - Greenhouse gas emissions from plastics lifecycle
env.linkages@oecd.org
OECD ENV-Linkages model, Zheng and Suh (2019). The methodology to derive GHG emissions from plastics lifecycle is explained in the Annexes of the OECD Global Plastics Outlook: Policy Scenarios to 2060.

Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (t CO2e)
The dataset provides information at the global level
Greenhouse gases emissions are aggregated using 100-year global warming potential (GWP) from AR2 (IPCC, 1995)
Emission coefficiens by stage and polymer or end-of-life fate are extrapolated from 2015 data using indexes. These indexes are built on scope-2 emissions intensity of primary and secondary plastics production (incl. upstream sectors) from the OECD ENV-Linkages model.
