Reference URL https://dd.info-rac.org/datasets/latest/H2020_WASTE/tables/ind_1_B_records/elements/frcPlasticMSW
Name Plastic fraction generated per capita
Definition Plastic fraction generated per capita Refer to Frc_ID: https://dd.info-rac.org/vocabulary/H2020/msw-fract...
Methodology for obtaining data Two way of calculation methods:
1 - If the waste quantities (w/w % of plastic and the population (N) are known and calculated. Frc_Plastic_MSW/Capita=1000*(WxP)/N (in kg/year)
2 - If the waste has been calculated using special waste generation rates per capita (SR in kg/year) and composition is known (P the w/w % of plastics) then Frc_Plastic_MSW/Capita=SR*P (in kg/year)
