Method and limitations
Exports — indirect plastic packaging
This estimate captures packaging around exported food, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics that is hidden in non-plastic trade codes.
How it is produced
The inventory applies a 1% packaging factor to the net weight of selected exported goods.
Read with care
This is a model, not measured packaging. A product-specific Fiji declaration would be more accurate.
