waste

implemented in the UK, the Republic of

Korea

and Sweden.

Overall

, the majority of its hazardous

waste

is recycled in the Republic of

Korea

, making

this

country the most environmentally conscious among the three. In comparison, recycling is only utilised partially in Sweden and is even absent in the UK as these countries choose burial

waste

disposal as their primary method.

Korea

and Sweden adopt three similar approaches - recycling, landfill and incineration.

While

a significant proportion of 69% of

waste

in

Korea

is recycled,

this

number drops to only 25% in the latter, as the primary method in

this

country is landfill, at 55%. Both countries do employ incineration to dispose of

waste

but only account for 9% and 20%, respectively. No sustainable technique is applied in the UK;

waste

is buried in landfills, chemically treated, dumped at sea or burnt. The first method is the most prominent, which processes up to 82% of the total

waste

disposal. The others only take up an insignificant minority of under 8%.
