* Total oil consumption expected to grow slower (0.5% p.a.) than plastics production (3.8% until 2030 then 3.5% to 2050).
** Carbon from plastics includes energy used in production and carbon released through incineration and/or energy recovery after-use. The latter is based on 14%
incinerated and/or energy recovery in 2014 and 20% in 2050. Carbon budget based on 2 degrees scenario.
