The line graph elucidates the rate of recycling of certain materials between 1982 and 2010. The X-axis represents the rate in percentage and the y-axis represents the time recorded in years.
Overall, the recycling of Aluminium cans has shown a significant upward trend, whereas that of Paper and cardboard, and Glass containers were fluctuating before settling down with only a marginal increase.
The rate of recycling of Aluminium cans has shown a consistent increase throughout the 28-year time frame, starting from just above 3 percent in the year 1984 to end at a staggering 45% by the year 2008. The recycling of plastic has also shown an uptrend but was of gradual increase without much significance
In stark contrast, the rate of recycling of paper and cardboard, and Glass containers were fluctuating throughout the years wherein 1988 both were at their nadir of 65% and 40% respectively. Eventually, they both surpassed the fluctuations by the year 1992 and continued their respective trends till the year 2008.
