The graph illustrates the ratio of recycling materials

such

as paper and cardboard, glass containers, aluminium cans and plastic between the years 1982 to 2010.

Overall

, the plastic materials were the lowest recycling rate among the other waste materials.

Whereas

, paper and cardboard were a higher rate with some fluctuations. Aluminium cans witnessed an upward trend in the given line chart. Looking at the details, paper things

initially

62% in 1982 and

then

slightly increased to 1% between 1986-1990 but drastically rose to 80% in 1994 and

then

dropped to 70% in 2010. Whilst, glass containers were 50% recycled in 1983.

while

decreased to 40% in 1990 and from 1998 to 2010 escalated by 60%

at the end

.

On the contrary

, aluminium cans stepped increase in recycling rate as it was zero per cent in 1982 but climbed dramatically to just under 50% in 2010.

However

, plastic products accounted for the least as they did not have any data in the initial two years 1982 and 1986 respectively and

then

it only stood at 10% in 2010.
