This statistic displays the life cycle greenhouse gas emissions of fossil fuel-based plastics worldwide in 2015, broken down by stage. In that year, the early stages of fossil-fuel based plastics (fossil fuel extraction to resin production) emitted around 1,085 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent worldwide.
