The three pie charts illustrate waste management methods in the Republic of Korea, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. Overall, the Republic of Korea relies heavily on recycling, while Sweden and the UK predominantly use underground disposal methods.
In the Republic of Korea, recycling accounts for the majority of waste management, at approximately 69%, which is significantly higher than in the other countries. This is followed by underground disposal at 22%, while incineration manages the remaining 9%.
In contrast, Sweden relies primarily on underground disposal, which accounts for about 55% of its waste. Recycling comes next at 25%, and the remaining 20% is incinerated.
The UK employs four methods to manage hazardous waste. The majority of waste, around 82%, is disposed of underground. Chemical treatment and dumping at sea each account for 8%, while incineration handles the remaining 2%. This distribution shows the dominance of underground disposal, with smaller portions allocated to other techniques.
