The line graph illustrates the recycling rate for paper and cardboard, glass containers,
aluminium cans and plastics between 1982 and 2010.
Overall, it is clear that the higherproportion wasshown by paper and cardboard, while least was plastics thatwere recycled throughout the given period.
Moreover, all the four materials depicts various fluctuations and experienced an upward trend. In 1982, around 65% paper and cardboard (being highest) and 50% glass containers were recycled in a particular country. The figure of paper and cardboard slightly increased to 70% in 1986 which was then decreased and again reach at same proportion as 1982 in 1990. During 1990 and 1994, this rate again rose by around 15% and reach at its peak (below 90%). From 1994, it significantly fall to 70% in 2010. Furthermore, recycling rate of glass containerals fell by one tenth proportion in 1990. Afterwards, this proportion significantly increase to 60% at the end of the period.
On the other hand, both aluminium and plastic material show marginal rate of recycling rate, that is below one tenth. While, the recycling rate of aluminium dramatically rose by almost 40% to 45% in 2010, plastics does not show any significant change and reach to approximately 9% in 2010.
