The line graph compares paper, wood pulp, and sawn wood in terms of their production level, measured in million tons, in the UK between 1980 and 2000.
Overall, the production of paper consistently had the highest figures across all years, while sawn wood recorded the lowest. It is also worth noting that the production of wood pulp remained relatively stable over the given timeframe.
In general, the production level of paper showed higher figures compared to the other categories. To begin with, paper production started at just above 200 million tons, and this was followed by a gradual increase to 250 million tons a decade later. Towards the end of the period, it rose significantly to reach an all-time high of 350 million tons.
In contrast, the production of sawn wood and wood pulp had modest figures. Regarding sawn wood, it started the period at 200 million tons, a figure that then fell sharply to just under 150 million tons in the final year, becoming the lowest among the three categories. When it comes to wood pulp production, a different scenario can be observed. Beginning at nearly 160 million tons, the production of wood pulp witnessed a steady decline to 150 million tons in 1990. Finally, wood pulp production increased slightly to about 155 million tons, almost recovering to its original level at the end of the period.
