Method
How the charts are drawn and what each property means. Values are shown as stated by the source; derived scores are marked as such.
Charts
Performance: each axis runs from the weakest value in the category (centre) to the strongest (outer ring); a larger area means better performance. Environment: the inner ring is zero and the outer ring the largest footprint; a smaller area means a smaller footprint. Biobased share runs from 100% on the inner ring to 0% on the outer ring. Origin, end of life and availability are shown with their meaning, not as numbers. Hover a point for its value and source, and an axis label for its range.
