In the manufacturing and use stage, the bottom-up and top-down

approaches are combined to calculate the flows. The bottom-up approach can

cover more detailed information on the stocks in the sectoral and spatial

level8. However, it only focuses on a limited number of sectors and might

provide incomplete information on the stock in the whole economic system9. A

top-down method could provide a comprehensive economy-wide estimation of

the in-use plastic stock, which avoids incompleteness in results derived from

the bottom-up method. Based on the characteristics of China's plastic

materials and the availability of data, we have adopted a combination of top-

down and bottom-up methods to depict the most realistic plastic flow

distribution.

For the top-down method, the main input variables are product split ratios

For the bottom-up method, the main input variables are the quantity of

product ( ) and quantity of plastic of an individual product ( ). The

detailed source is indicated in Table S3. The bottom-up method is also used to

calculate the plastic content in the trade flow of automobiles and electronics.

It should be noted that a small part of plastic in the manufacturing stage

is lost as pre-consumer waste and flows into the recycling system, which is

calculated by the scrap rates in the manufacturing ( ). We assumed that the

manufacturing scrap ratios of different plastic-type in Europe were the same

as China. Specifically, the manufacturing scrap ratios of PE, PP, PVC, and PS

in the manufacturing stage in China’s plastic industry are the same as in

Europe. The manufacturing scrap ratio of ABS in China is calculated using the

overall scrap ratio of the four above plastics due to a lack of comparable data.

The detailed data are presented in table S4.

The waste plastic flowing into the recycling system includes three

sources: plastic recycling from post-consumer plastic waste, plastic recycling

from pre-consumer plastic waste and plastic recycling from plastic waste

imports. The detailed data and source are shown in Table S5.

The total recycling amount from post-consumer plastic waste is

calculated based on the apparent plastic use in the use stage and the

recycling ratio. Then the recycling amount from post-consumer plastic waste

in B&C, automobiles, electronics, and agriculture sectors could be calculated

8

Page 9: ars.els-cdn.com · Web view3. China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Statistics Annual Report; Beijing, 1978-2005. 4. Tang, W., Polyethylene

by the recycling ratios and post-consumer plastic waste generated from

corresponding sectors. The recycling amount of post-consumer plastic waste

generated from the packaging sector and the other sector is calculated by

subtracting the recycling amount of the above four sectors from the total

recycling amount.

Pre-consumer plastic waste is generated from the manufacturing stage.

Because these wastes are produced centrally on the factory assembly line,

they are usually used as raw materials on the spot or collected into the

recycling system. So we assumed that all pre-consumer plastic waste would

flow into the recycling system.

China’s plastic waste imports are mainly utilized for recycling to substitute

virgin plastic resin as secondary plastic resources42, 43. So we assumed that all

plastic waste imports would flow into the recycling system.

When the plastic wastes flow into the recycling system, not all of them

can be converted into secondary resources because of losses in the recycling

The values and source of the recycling conversion ratio, which is the

proportion of total recycling amount converted to secondary material, are

shown in Table S6.

Due to the lack of relevant statistics and researches in China, we adopted

the recycling conversion ratio in the study from study on European system41.

We have also verified this assumption and data with experts from the China

Plastics Processing Industry Association and Plastics Recycling Branch of the

China Synthetic Resin Association - the technology levels of recycling are

similar in China and the European Union. We have also added a sensitivity

analysis to test the robustness of our final results in the cases of ±10%

change in conversion rates of recycling (please see Figure R1 and Figure 6 in

the manuscript). Our results show that the impact of this assumption is minor -

the largest impacts occurred in the amount of second material (~12%) but

only ~5% changes for other results, which is presented in Figure 6.

The losses in the recycling stage and the post-consumer plastic waste

There are also some assumptions used to bullid the dynamic MFA model

of China’s plastic. Detailed assumptions and sources are presented in Table

S8.

Table S8 Assumptions and sources of the dynamic MFA model of China’s plastics

Assumptions ReferencePlastic losses during use due to degradation, abrasion or other dissipative phenomena are assumed to be negligible.

49,50

Only the residence time in the use stage is considered, and the plastic flow within and between other stages is assumed to be instantaneous.

51

The data availability of all kind of ratios used by this study could not cover all the years from 1978 to 2017, so these ratios are assumed to maintain the same in adjacent years.

52

The lifetime of various products containing plastic material is mainly dependent on the sectors where the products are applied.

52

The lifespans of plastic products are assumed to be the same from 1978 to 2017. 52

Imported plastic wastes are fully used for recycling. 52

The shares of landfilling and incineration of municipal solid waste in China are the same as plastic waste generated from the sector of packaging and others.

Dynamic-MFA models of in-use material stocks apply different functional

forms for the lifetime distributions of products. The model of lifetime

distributions usually used fixed lifetimes53, normal distributions (symmetrical)49,

Weibull distributions (right-skewed)51 or Gompertz distributions (left-skewed)54.

Krausmann, et al. 56 distinguished 11 types of in-use stock and found that each

of these stock types comprises stocks with different lifetime characteristics.

Because of this heterogeneity within stock types, in absence of detailed

information on lifetime distribution and which side of ‘skewness’ best fits the

global reality, we consider symmetrical distribution as the best compromise,

which is also in line with the Central Limit Theorem.

where refers to the probability that products in sector i will be

scrapped in time after years later. is the location parameter of sector i,

which is equal to the mean lifetime; is the shape parameter of sector i. The

lifetime parameter is the most important but most poorly understood factor57.

These parameters refer to the values of other literature as shown in Table S9.

The demolition of the in-use stock in each sector is estimated by

respective lifetime distribution functions. The calculations results show that

the plastic flow into use would survive after a certain time61. In another word,

the survival function is the integral form of the lifetime distribution function.

The life distribution results are shown in Figure S2.
