The given chart illustrates the percentage of each type of waste in total household rubbish between 1985 and 2002.
Overall, the proportion of most type of litter remained stable from 1985 to 2002, but it is noticeable that the two major changes were the increase of kitchen/organic waste and the decrease of paper waste
As can be seen from the chart, in 1985, 36% of paper was consumed, which is 10% higher than the proportion of kitchen/organic waste and quadruples the figure for metals. The remaining waste proportion was 10% less than the total household rubbish. The consumption of textiles was the lowest among other kinds of trash with 3%
As far as the consumption of waste is concerned, in 2002, kitchen/organic waste overtook paper to become the most consumed waste in total household rubbish with 44%, followed by miscellaneous with 17%. It is obvious that the category of dust and cinders, which represented 8% of household rubbish in 1985, disappeared from the 2002 analysis. The proportion of textiles still remained the lowest in pie chart with 2%.
