THE GRAPH BELOW SHOWS WASTE RECYCLING RATES IN THE US FROM 1960 TO 2011.

The graph demonstrates the figure of wastes that were recycled in the United States throughout a 55-year interval, based on the

percentage

of recycling and the tonnage of total waste recovery. in general,

It is clear that

at the beginning, the whole of misuse recovery with a minor difference was less than per cent recycling;

while

, after several years the tonnage of waste recovery has been turned into a great deal more than the

percentage

of recycling. With regard to Total waste recycling, what stands out from the chart is that at the start of the investigation,

this

parameter was at the lowest place, 5.6 million tones; after which, it started to grow steadily to reach 16.7 in 1985, which is the closest number to a

percentage

of recycling during the period. Since 1985,

this

variable has soared to the peak of 86.9 million tonnes in 2001. Concentrating on the

percentage

of recycling,

initially

, it was 6.5% in 1960.

Subsequently

, it increased gradually up to approximately 10% in 1985. From 1985 to 1995,

this

factor experienced a sudden increase to more than 25%;

whereas

,

after

this

rocket, the rate of growth became a bit more slowly. Eventually, at the

last

stage, it gained a

percentage

of roughly 37.
