Recycling of Plastics in the United States: Data for PET Flows for Material Flow Analysis and MRF and Reclaimer Calculations

The journal article, "Recycling of Plastics in the United States: Plastic Material Flows and Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Recycling Processes," has two spreadsheet files associated with it as Supporting Information which are also data sets. The data describes 1) PET Flows for Material Flow Analysis, and 2) Material Recovery Facility (MRF) and Reclaimer Calculations.

This dataset is associated with the following publication: Smith, R.L., S. Takkellapati, and R.C. Riegerix. Recycling of Plastics in the United States: Plastic Material Flows and Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Recycling Processes. ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering. American Chemical Society, Washington, DC, USA, 10(6): 2084-2096, (2022).
