* Under a business as usual scenario.
Costs are estimated based on region's share of market in consumer goods sub-sector and its share of global plastics productions. Impacts are valued based on region-specific environmental valuation coefficients that includes local conditions such as water scarcity, population density, and the mix of natural ecosystems.
