ARVI Material flow analysis of plastic for Finland, Sahimaa
The document summarizes a study that established Finland's national plastics budget for 2013 using material flow analysis. It investigated and quantified all plastic flows in and out of Finland that year. The study defined the plastic system boundaries, which included chemical industry, manufacturing, consumption, waste management, recycling, incineration, landfilling, and trade of primary and finished plastic products. It also characterized uncertainties in the data given limitations and multiple data sources of varying quality. The Finnish national plastic budget for 2013 is then presented, with contact information provided for further details.
