Correction to: Nature Sustainability https://doi.org/10.1038/s41893-021-00702-w, published online 25 March 2021.

In the version of this Article initially published, there were labeling errors in Fig. 3k and Extended Data Fig. 6. In Fig. 3k, the original y-axis label “2θ (°)” and x-axis label “Intensity (a.u.)” appeared on the wrong axes and are now swapped with each other. In Extended Data Fig. 6, top left panel, the label “Lignicell plastic” has been changed to read “Lignocellulosic bioplastic” and the label “Polystyrene” has been changed to read “PVC.”

These changes have been made in the online version of the Article.
