The table below shows the amount of waste production (in millions of tonnes) in six different countries in three different years over a twenty-year period. Summaries the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The chart illustrates the quantity of
waste
, measured in millions of
tonnes
, produced by six countries—Ireland, Japan,
Korea
, Poland, Portugal, and the US—in the years 1980, 1990, and 2000. For 20 years, the US consistently ranked as the largest
waste
producer among these six countries, with its
waste
production
reaching the highest level by 2000. Except for
Korea
,
waste
production
generally increased across the board from 1980 to 2000. In 1980, the US generated the largest amount of
waste
, at 131
million
tonnes
,
while
Japan, the second-largest
waste
producer, produced only 28
million
tonnes
. Following these two were Poland, Portugal, and Ireland, with much smaller figures of 4
million
, 2
million
, and 0.6
million
tonnes
, respectively. By 1990 and 2000, the US remained the largest
waste
producer, with its
waste
output rising to 151
million
tonnes
and 192
million
tonnes
, respectively. From 1980 to 2000,
while
most countries saw a significant rise in
waste
production
,
Korea
was the exception. In 1990,
Korea
produced 31
million
tonnes
of
waste
; by 2000,
this
figure had dropped to 19
million
tonnes
.
In contrast
, the other five countries experienced a clear upward trend in
waste
production
, with the US showing the most dramatic increase, rising by 61
million
tonnes
over the period.
