The given graph compares the methods of disposal in a European country between 2005 and 2008.
Overall, it can be seen that the landfill method was highly used in all years, except for 2008, when it was outperformed by the dumping in sea. Meanwhile, the burning technique stayed consistently an average.
In 2005, the landfill accounted for 2000 million tonnes, that was almost threefold higher than the figure for the burning disposal. Also, the dumping in sea attributed to 1200 million tonnes in 2005. In the following year, there was a small disparity between the landfill and the dumping in sea, when the former made up around 1600 tonnes of waste, the latter formed approximately 1450 tonnes. In 2006, the dumping sea was responsible for nearly 1190 million of waste.
In terms of 2008, the dumping in sea experienced an upward trend and overreached the landfill way of disposal by 400 million, while the burning decreased slightly to 900 million of tonnes, showing the same trend as at the beginning.
