The line graph compares the recycling rates in the U. S. (1960 - 2011) to the total waste recovery during the same timeframe. On the whole the total waste recovery is on a higher ground compared to the percent recycling.
Getting back to the details, there's been an exponential rise of 1551% in the waste recovery from the 1960's to the 2011's but the recovery rate seems to be growing at a slower pace, which is truly alarming. Though the recycling rate has been increasing well since the 1990's its still isn't sufficient to erase the footprints of human in the waste recovery. It truly seems like 2011 was an amazing year for recovery with over 34% of the waste being recovered, but that was just about 30 million tons.
Over the years there is only the possibility of the total waste recovery increasing with the increase in population, and with the current pace of things in the recovery things look very grim for us and the planet Earth in the course of the future.
