respectively. However
, in the following ,years glass

before a gradual increase reaching its highest of 60 per cent
in 2010. While
cardboard and paper
rates fluctuated in 1990, the proportion jumped to 80 per cent
then
slowly decreased by 10 per cent
at the end
of the period

cans steadily increased the rates from just under 5 per cent
at the beginning of the period
to 45 per cent
at the end
