This is a treemap where countries are categorized by the continent color. Specific labels, U.S, India, China, and Germany, were added to emphasized to compare the relationship between population and the amount of waste that country produces. I hope this would lead to a discussion to further figure out ways to emulate the way India consumes plastic waste, for such a huge population, their plastic waste is very low.

This is a combo map and scatter plot that share the same country code, so I was able to link the two nicely. The metric for the map is the amount of waste a country produces and the darker purple it is the more they dispose of. In the scatter plot, y-axis is the amount of waste a single person, which I had to get by dividing country's population by the total country's plastic waste. The x-axis, is measuring the gdp of a country, and the size of the circle is the population size of that country. Labels are provided to countries larger than 60 million. Initial labels will be U.S, India, China, and Germany. There seems to be a correlation between the low gdp and low waste per person. But as you can see from the map, for example in China, you still see it have the highest plastic waste, but it is still on the lower end of waster per person.
