  abstract = {{S}mall {I}sland {D}eveloping {S}tates ({SIDS}) are the most vulnerable territories to marine litter and plastic waste pollution. {T}he magnitude of the issue and ways of action can only be known if the material flows and their origins are correctly estimated. {U}nfortunately, small territories are often left outside the global ecological footprint databases and models. {T}he present research aims at quantifying the plastic footprint of {S}eychelles through a standard {E}nvironmentally-{E}xtended {I}nput-{O}utput {A}nalysis ({EEIOA}) and multi-regional input-output ({MRIO}) approach combining international and domestic data in the south-west {I}ndian {O}cean region. {T}he results of several model specifications and industrial classifications are compared to the literature findings and show that {SIDS} may display the same level of plastic use and waste per capita as high-income countries, without the same infrastructure of waste treatment. {A} few services and exporting sectors concentrate the bulk of the territorial quantity of plastics used throughout the economy. {T}he multi-regional {I}ndian {O}cean context helps to foresee potential joint actions in order to reduce the plastic footprint of {SIDS}.},
