Overview of key value chain stages and stakeholders/interest groups associated with each value chain stage. Amounts of micro- and macroplastics lost to the environment are based on findings in Chapter 6. The identified key hotspots as presented in Chapter 9 are indicated with yellow circles. 10 | Technical summary Losses to environment Macroplastics Microplastics Key stakeholdersPDF Image | Mapping of global plastics value chain
