Plastic pyrolysis oil
Raw condensed liquid of plastic waste pyrolysis (C5 to C30+ paraffins and olefins with some aromatics, and heteroatom and metal contaminants), before upgrading to a steam-cracker feed. No composition recorded yet: one goes in only with its source (docs/registry.md, Fuel mixtures).

ISO 14044 requires a critical review (by a panel of interested parties, ISO/TS 14071) of a comparative assertion intended to be disclosed to the public. These routes are listed side by side for screening; a statement that one is better than another needs that review. None of these routes has had such a review.
