Band 6+: The pie charts below show how dangerous waste products are dealt with in three countries. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The three pie charts provided illustrate the methods of disposing dangerous waste products in 3 different countries, namely the Republic of Korea, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

An interesting fact that showed in the figures is that the 3 countries adopt different ways to deal with dangerous waste products. To begin with, the most common method used in Korea is recycling, which accounts for 69% of the total number of it. Other ways that are used in this country also include burying the waste products underground (22%) and incineration (9%).

The situation in Sweden is not the same as Korea, with burying the waste products underground accounts for 55% while 25% for recycling and 20% for incineration. On top of these 2 countries, the United Kingdom practises different methods when dealing with dangerous waste products other than the previous 2 countries. Surprisingly, burying underground accounts for 82%, which is the largest proportion among all the ways used. In addition to incineration (2%), chemical treatment and also dumping the waste into the sea are also some methods that are only used in the United Kingdom rather than other countries.
