Human activities have a profound impact on ecosystems. Globally, municipal solid waste management is shifting to mitigate these environmental impacts.
The graph shows the change in total municipal solid waste generation and the amount of landfilled/untreated waste between 2010 and 2030, alongside predictions up to 2060.
Total municipal solid waste generation is the sum of landfilled/untreated waste and sustainably managed waste (such as recycled or composted waste).
Describe the change in the annual generation of landfilled/untreated waste and sustainably managed waste between 2010 and 2030.
