Line graph
The line graph depicts the percentage of four different materials that underwent the recycling process for more than a quarter-century in a specific country.
As can be seen, paper and cardboard were the most recycled material throughout the time frame and reached a peak of 80 percent around 1995 followed by a steady decline to 70 percent by 2010. On the other hand, plastics were the least recycled material, and the recycling rate was fairly stable with a slight increase in 2008. Moreover, recycling of plastics was first carried out around 1990. Glass containers were the second most recycled material followed by a drop in 1986 and almost doubled by 2008. Furthermore, the recycling of aluminum cans started in the early 1980s and climbed substantially over 28 years.
Overall, paper and cardboard had the highest recycling rates. However, plastics, aluminum cans, and glass containers showed an upward trend in the time span of 28 years.
