Supplementary Data for "Future scenarios of global plastic waste generation and disposal"

Here 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.xlsxSummary 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.tifTotal municipal plastic waste generation in kg.y-1 in 2015, computed on a global 30 by 30 arc seconds resolution grid.LebretonAndrady2019_MismanagedPlasticWaste.tifMismanaged 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
