The graph presents the main features of materials recycled in a particular country from 1982 to 2010. During this time, there was a significant increase in aluminum cans, and it is clear that these materials did not experience a slowdown, even considering the initial investigation in 1981.
Based on the graph, we can conclude that glass containers and paper and cardboard reached their low points between 1986 and 1990. During the same period, cans and plastics experienced rapid growth. Among the recycling materials, aluminum cans showed the best results, as their growth has been consistent since 1982. In contrast, plastics displayed the poorest performance, with a slight increase from 0 to 10, which did not indicate significant improvement.
Overall, the most notable trend among all recycled materials is the increase in aluminum cans. In conclusion, recycling figures for all materials have remained high across every category.
