The diagram illustrates the total amount of waste produced, measured in millions of tonnes, in six different countries from the year 1988 to 2000.
Overall, the amount of waste produced by the United States is significantly higher than that of the other countries, while Scotland produces the least amount of waste.
As we can see, Scotland consistently had the lowest waste production from 1988 to 2000. The United States, on the other hand, had the highest amount of waste in 1988, which further increased by the year 2000. Poland initially decreased its waste production in 1992, but this trend reversed, leading to an increase by 2000.
Ireland’s waste production rose in 1992 but successfully decreased by 2000. Similarly, Canada reduced its waste percentage, but it experienced a 10 percent increase in 2000. Japan struggled to manage its waste production, with increases observed each year.
