The pie charts compare ways in which hazardous materials are treated in three different countries, Great Britain, Republic of Korea and Sweden.
It is obvious that dangerous materials in Great Britain and Sweden are mostly discarded in underground. Recycling, incineration and dumping underground are only methods used in Korea and Sweden for unsafe materials management, while Great Britain in addition uses, chemical treatment and throwing into the ocean of such substances.

Recycling, incineration and dumping underground are only methods used in Korea and Sweden for unsafe materials management, while Great Britain in addition uses, chemical treatment and throwing into the ocean of such substances.
In United Kingdom, 88% of dangerous materials are put underground, while this figure for Sweden and Korea are 55% and 22%, respectively. Sweden burns about a fifth of its risky material, and this method is 9% in Korea and only 2% in United Kingdom.
While Korea recycles about 70% of its dangerous materials, this method is used for treatment of about a fourth of these substances in Sweden. In contrast, Great Britain does not practice any recycling process for its hazardous materials, instead chemical treatment and dumping at the sea are two additional methods that are practiced only in England with mark at 8% for each method.

The three pie charts compare different ways of to dispose hazardous waste material in three different countries.
It can clearly be seen that the majority of the harmful waste products in the UK are buried underground for their disposal and this method is also popular in Sweden to get rid of harmful waste. However, in the Republic of Korea the majority of that waste material gets recycled.
In the United Kingdom just over 4/5th of the waste is disposed of using landfill sites, while the figures for Sweden and the Republic of Korea stood at 55% and 22% respectively. Incineration is also used to destroy a significant portion of toxic rubbish, at 20% in Sweden and 9% in the Republic of Korea, whereas only 2% of the notorious waste is burnt in the United Kingdom.
A major part of the lethal waste material gets recycled in Korea, similarly a quarter of the harmful waste products is reused in Sweden. By contrast, none of the toxic waste material in England goes for recycling, and instead chemical treatment and dumping at sea is used to discard some of the dangerous wastage, 8% each respectively. It is interesting to note that the latter two methods are not used in Sweden and Korea.
(I'm not sure it was about toxic waste material or normal rubbish)

Overall, dumping underground is the most common way to treat waste in Sweden and United Kingdom, while recycling is the most favorite method in Republic Korea.

3. I also finish my essay with two body paragraphs:
The figures for dumping underground are 55% and 82% in Sweden and United Kingdom respectively, while underground - dumped waste is 22% in Republic Korea. Recycling in Republic Korea is 69%, which is the majority method in this country. In Sweden, recycled waste products are 25%, compared with no reused waste in United Kingdom.
Burning is the less common method in these three countries, which is 9%, 20% and 2% for Republic Korea, Sweden and United Kingdom as order. Chemical treatment and dumping at sea are used as the same percentage, 8%, in United Kingdom. Both Republic Korea and Sweden do not use these ways to treat their waste products.

Hi simon
1. The pie charts show how to handling trash between Republic of Korea, Sweden and UK.
2. Republic of Korea and Sweden only use three methods to dump trash. But UK has more way except recycling though.
More percentage of recycling is much less percentage of underground. So if each country try to increase of mount of recycling, they would reduce quantity of burried trash.
It's my first post on ielts-simon.com.
I've just started IELTS study last Monday.
I'm really excited!
Thank you simon XD
