dataset
posted on 2021-07-20, 04:54 authored by Laurent LebretonLaurent Lebreton, Anthony AndradyHere we provide a per-country results summary spreadsheet and high resolution global maps of total and mismanaged plastic waste generation as presented in Lebreton and Andrady (2019, https://www.nature.com/articles/s41599-018-0212-7).
LebretonAndrady2019_SummaryDatasheet.xlsx
Summary results for the 188 countries investigated in the study. The file contains three tabs for lower, midpoint and higher estimate for plastic waste generation as well as an additional tab for per-country waste statistics and population + GDP forecast used by the predictive model. The highlighted cells in the Country Statistics tab are model predicted values where data was not available.
LebretonAndrady2019_TotalPlasticWaste.tif
Total municipal plastic waste generation in kg.y-1 in 2015, computed on a global 30 by 30 arc seconds resolution grid.
LebretonAndrady2019_MismanagedPlasticWaste.tif
Mismanaged Plastic Waste (MPW) generation in kg.y-1 in 2015, computed on a global 30 by 30 arc seconds resolution grid.
Updated:
-fixed negative waste generation values
-removed rounding issues from .tiff file compression
