WASTE PRODUCTION IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES

The table compares the quantity of waste produced by 6 different countries in 1980, 1990 and 2000.

Overall, it is clear that there was a growth in the figure for waste production at varying degrees in almost all countries, except Korea. In addition, the US produced by far the most substantial amount of waste.

More specifically, in 1980, Americans produced 131 million tons of waste. The figure went up by 20 million tons in the next decade and reached slightly over 190 million tons by 2000. Similarly, the second largest waste producer, Japan, witnessed a double increase in waste figures. By contrast, there was no data about Koreas waste output; however, between 1990 and 2000, a dramatic decline from 31 to 19 in waste quantities was reported in this nation.

Over the period, Poland and Portugal shared a similar pattern. In particular, both countries saw a steady growth in the quantity of waste produced by 1 to 2 million tons each 10 years. By comparison, the most noticeable surge in the figure for waste materials was recorded in Ireland, by eight times from just over 0.5 to 6 million tons.
