An End-of-Life Plastic and Additive Flow Tracker Tool for Scenario Forecasting.

, The previous material flow analysis on EoL plastic management in the United States, based on 2018 MSW data, identified that over 35.7 million tons of plastic waste were generated, with only approximately 8.4% successfully recycled. Figure illustrates the GUI plot output showing a notable trend in chemical additive contamination, with these levels sharply increasing (+0.6%) between the initial life cycles before leveling off toward a more consistent level in the subsequent life cycles (<0.1% increase before reaching a near 0% increase).
