The line graph illustrates the waste production of Company A, Company B, and Company C in tonnes over a period of 15 years. Overall, it shows that the waste generated by Companies A and B was higher than that of Company C for most of the timeframe, but by the end of the period, Company C had surpassed both in waste production.
Company A and Company B had high waste production levels, with Company A producing the most at 12 tonnes in the year 2000. However, this figure fell progressively to about 9 tonnes over the next 15 years. Company B started at approximately 8 tonnes in 2000, experienced a slight increase initially, but then sharply declined to 3 tonnes by 2015.
Company C produced about 4 tonnes of waste in 2000, which was the lowest of all three companies that year. In contrast, Company C’s waste production steadily increased throughout the 15-year period, unlike Companies A and B. By 2015, Company A’s waste production matched that of Company B’s output in the same year.
