  abstract = {{P}lastic pollution has become a critical environmental and socioeconomic challenge globally, particularly in developing regions with deficient waste management infrastructure. {T}he rapid growth of {C}{\^o}te d'{I}voire's plastic industry, which employs around 200,000 people and contributes over 2% to gross domestic product, has led to a massive increase in plastic consumption and marine litter over the past decade. {T}his study develops an environmentally extended input-output ({EE}-{IO}) model based on an original social accounting matrix combined with a structural path analysis ({SPA}) to assess the annual domestic plastic footprint in {C}ote d'{I}voire, estimated at 19 kg per capita but standing on a steadily growing trend. {T}his first quantification identifies several key sectors (machinery and equipment, transport, furniture, paper and printing, food industry) contributing significantly to the domestic plastic consumption and waste. {S}ome narrow linkages between the local plastic converters and the agricultural cashew nut sector are also emphasized. {O}n the basis of {SPA} outcomes, various targeted policy recommendations are suggested and their effects are tested with the {EE}-{IO} model, showing the greater effectiveness of trade quotas over a tax policy directed to the key sectors.},
