other materials continue to increase throughout the period.
In 1982, the percentage of paper and cardboard that was recycled was about 65%, and there are some fluctuations before it increased dramatically to 80% in 1994. However
, this
material experienced a constant decrease from 80% to 70% in 2010.
On the other hand
, glass containers were recycled 50% and experienced a significant decrease to 40% in 1990. Although
this
comeback grew gradually to 60% between 1990 and 2010. Recycling of aluminium cans was first recycled in 1986, starting at about 5%, but this
figure jump over 25 years and reached 45% in 2010. Lastly
