A composition having a recycle content value is obtained by reacting a recycle content feedstock to make a recycle content glycol ester by deducting from a recycle inventory a recycle content value applied to a glycol ester composition. At least a portion of the recycle content value in the feedstock or in an allotment obtained by a glycol ester manufacturer has its origin in recycled waste and/or pyrolysis of recycled waste and/or in thermal steam cracking of recycle content pyoil.
