Band 5+: Task 1 - Take a look at the chart below and perform the task as outlined: This graph shows the proportion of four different materials that were recycled from 1982 to 2010 in a particular country. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, making comparisons where relevant.

The graph presents recycling rate of different materials, in a period of time from 1982 till 2010.

We can see four categories, we can see that in this time period paper and cardboard settles in highest place, always being above 60 percent and at times increasing to about 80 percent. Next one is recycling of glass containers, having lowest percentage of around 40 percent, and the highest of 60 percent. The graph shows that bothof the previos materials had a downfall at around 1990, and then sharply increased at 1994.

Aluminum has even lower indecators, it gained its popularity at around 1986, and since then was slightly increasing, having the highest percent above 40 percent at 2010. Material with the lowest rate is plastics, which was growing higher since 1990 till 2010, although never going above 10 percent.

We can see that the recycling of paper and cardboard was the highest, therefor thr recycling of plactics settled on the lowest place. All materials except the paper and cardboard had increase in their recycling.
