The graph below shows the proportion of four different material that were recycled from 1982 to 2010 in a particular country. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

The graph illustrates the percentages of four different materials,

paper

and

cardboard

,

glass

containers, aluminium cans and plastics, which were reused in a nation between 1982 and 2010. Generally,

paper

and

cardboard

were reused at the highest proportion

while

the plastic recycling

rate

was the lowest throughout the period. First and foremost, it is evident that

glass

paper

and

cardboard

, and

glass

containers were reused since 1982,

whereas

aluminium cans started to be reused in the following period of 1986 and plastic recycling began with a minority ratio in 1990. Even though plastic recycling was marginally raised throughout two decades,

this

didn't even pass over 10 per cent.

However

rate

surged significantly to well over 40 without any drop until 2010. Turning to

rate

was by far the highest despite being dipped down to approximately 65 per cent in 1990: but

was followed by a sharp increase to 80 in 1994. After 1994, its recycling

declined gently. For
