The Plastic Waste Makers Index
About Makeover Monday
MakeoverMonday is a social data project: “Each week we post a link to a chart, and its data, and then you rework the chart. Maybe you retell the story more effectively, or find a new story in the data. We’re curious to see the different approaches you all take. Whether it’s a simple bar chart or an elaborate infographic, we encourage everyone of all skills to partake. Together we can have broader conversations about and with data.”
Starting from Jan 08, 2018, I decided to put aside one hour on Monday weekly to create some visualization and find some insights from the data.
The datasets are published each week at: MakeoverMonday Datasets.

This week we are looking at the top makers of plastic wastes. You can find the original report by Minderoo Fundation here. The Plastic Waste Makers Index is a project of Minderoo’s No Plastic Waste initiative, which aims to create a world without plastic pollution.
My Visualization
I used a scatter plot this week to plot the plastic waste makers on two important dimensions.
