Global Plastics and Waste Data Tracker

What do the ratings and colours mean?

The tracker was developed via a rapid assessment in the run up to INC-5 - the analysts therefore welcome users to improve the sources and provide feedback.
Each rating has a link to the original source of information. For feedback, updates or help, please email Helena Dickinson or Eliza Northrop.
