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 given line chart depicts the data of four different types of materials that were reused form 1982 to 2010 in a particular country.

In general, there is a clear trend of recycling paper and cardboard, and glass containers. On the other hand, the ratio of reusing alumininium cans and plastics were lowed as compared to first two materials.

Initially, the percentage of paper and cardboard were fluctuated between 65% to 80% over the period but in 2010, it was stablized at 70%. On the contrary, glass containers ratio in 1982, was at 50% and until 1990 it was decreased steadily. However. in the given next years this percentage was rose slightly until 2010, it was reached 60%.

According to the chart, the alummininium cans reutilizing share were started in 1986, and this share rose slowly over the time line. Finally, the portion of recycling plastic was one of the smallest portion of the chart as compared to other three materials. Plastic percentage was stablilized between 1% to 10% over the years. By the way its recycling was started in 1990.
