It can be seen , the proportion of waste in the Netherlands recycling at around 69% was the most prominent of all four methods, closely followed by 20% in Italy , 11% in Spain and 13% in the UK. Similarly, the percentage of landfills consistently showing the highest usage in the UK is about 65% . In similar patterns , the method used in Italy and Spain with landfills leading in both countries has remained stable at around 40% .

The percentage of chemicals is the second method in the Netherlands and the UK just under 15% to 18% . It can be seen clearly in Italy and Spain the proportion of chemicals remained unchanged at about 28% . Similarly , the figure for burn in the UK shows the lowest usage of all methods in this nation.
