This statistic depicts the specific greenhouse gas emissions generated from the treatment of plastic waste in the Netherlands in 2018, broken down by treatment and type of material. According to data, chemical recycling would generate negative emissions for all types of plastics. By contrast, incineration, the normal treatment for recycled plastic waste in the Netherlands, generated on average 1.5 tons CO2-equivalent per ton of plastics.
