How to calculate the polyethylene to ethanol ratio
Polyethylene to Ethanol ratio = Polyethylene price per Metric Ton ÷ Ethanol price per Gallon
The two legs use different units, so the result is a rate — Gallons of ethanol per Metric Ton of polyethylene — rather than a plain count.
Worked example, live prices: $7,856.00 ÷ $2.12 = 3706. The inverse is 0.0002699.
