The bar chart below illustrates various ways to discard waste in a country from Europe between 2005 and 2008.
Overall, while both the amount of landfill and dumping in the sea had a drop over the period shown, the quantity of burning waste went down. It is also apparent that a much lower amount of burning and dumping in the sea was used to distribute waste in contrast to landfills experienced the highest usage.
According to the chart, in 2005, 70 million tonnes of waste went to landfills. After that time, waste going to landfill witnessed a decline, 60 million tonnes of waste was sent to landfill in 2006 before experiencing a huge drop between 2007 and 2008 to 40 million tonnes of waste sent to landfill. Similarly, the number of wastes dumping in the sea was well over 60 million tonnes in 2005, yet fell to 50 tonnes from 2006 to 2007 before hitting the lowest point of 40 million tonnes in 2008.
On the other hand, the number of wastes that went burning witnessed a fluctuation. In the year 2005, there were more than 60 tonnes of wastes that were sent burning. Therefore, wastes going to burning experienced a huge downward trend between 2006 and 2007 at 50 million tonnes. However, the wastes went burning peaked in 2008, at well over 60 million tonnes.
