60% in 2010. It is interesting that the two remaining
materials
(aluminium cans and plastics) followed the same pattern whilst aluminium cans started being recycled in 1986(considerably less than 10%). It was clear that
this
process significantly went up to 45% in 2010. Least recycling process made by plastics from binging to end of the period (under 5% to close to 10%).
