The pie charts compare the way how three countries, namely Korea, Sweden and the UK utilize wastes. Five categories of getting rid of garbage were considered – recycling, incineration, underground, chemical treatment and dumping at sea.
It is observed that Korea has the biggest percentage of recycling in comparison with two other counties – almost three quarters of rubbish is reused there. The remaining third is divided by underground (20%) and incineration (9%) methods. In contrast to Korea, only quarter of wastes in Sweden are recycled. Next, more than a half of rubbish is dealt with by underground – 55 % - and the left 20 % is devoted to incineration.
There is a significant difference between the UK and other lands. Firstly, there are no recycling of wastes in this country. Secondly, two more methods are used here – dumping at sea and chemical treatment. Since 82% of garbage are buried underground, this is the preferable way to deal with garbage here. There are equal percentage of dumping at sea and chemical treatment (both are 8%) and incineration consists only 2%.
Overall, Republic of Korea managed to become the most environmentally friendly country in comparison with Sweden and the United Kingdom.
