The line graph illustrates the rates of rubbish recycling between 1960 and 2011.
Overall, both total waste recovery and percent recovery have grown considerably , with total waste recovery reaching its peak level and percent recycling growing at a constant rate over the given period.
Initially, both figures started with 5,6percent , and rose in 1% at the next year. In 1970 social awareness of people started to rise, resulting in steady increase in both sections with 8 present in total waste recycling and 6,6 in partial. Consequently, the next 15 years this tendency was increasing gradually, reaching 16,7 and 10,1 percent respectively.
Moving into the 1985, attention for recycling dramatically increased, resulting in a significant gradual growth of total waste recovery, which reached the highest rate of 86,9 at the final year. Similarly, constant increase was observed in percent recycling, but with a lower rates of about 3 percent growth each year, reaching its maximum of 34,7 in the end.
