The graph below shows the proportion of four different materials that were recycled from 1982 to 2010 Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

The line graph presents data from the

year

1982 to the

year

2010 regarding the ratio of recycled

materials

to selected

materials

.

Overall

, there are four different

materials

that are compared. The

materials

are paper and cardboard, glass container, aluminium cans, and plastics. The highest

percentage

of the four recycled

materials

was paper and cardboard,

while

plastics were the lowest

percentage

.

Furthermore

, a significant increase in the proportion of recycled aluminium cans can be seen over the period given. The peak of recycling paper was in the

year

1990 with 80%. After that, it dropped steadily to reach 70% in the

year

2010. Glass container was steadily decreasing in the first eight years, reaching the lowest

percentage

in 1990 with 40% proportion.

In addition

, the recycling of aluminium cans rate was increasingly higher than the other

materials

.

However

, there is no significant change regarding recycling plastics, and it is the least component have been recycled with a maximum

percentage

that does not exceed 10%.
