Population & Scope Population & Scope Geographic coverage Geographic coverageThis dataset provides estimates of plastics leakage for the 15 global regions of the OECD ENV-Linkages model, detailed in the Annexes of the OECD Global Plastics Outlook: Policy Scenarios to 2060.
Other coverage Other coverageThis dataset provides estimates of plastics leakages to the environment per source.
Concepts & Classifications Concepts & Classifications Other manipulations Other manipulationsPlastic leakages estimates from mismanaged waste and litter correspond to the average of the estimates caclulated using the methodology adapted from (Ryberg et al., 2019) and (Cottom, Cook and Velis, 2020) that were applied on OECD ENV-Linkages model outputs.Plastics leakages from all other sources correspond to the estimates caclulated using the methodology adapted from (Ryberg et al., 2019).
