The line graph depicts the data on recycling rates of paper and cardboard, glass containers, aluminum cans, and plastics between 1982 and 2010 in a certain country.
Overall, all the selected materials experienced an upward trend over the period.
As presented in the graph, with a maximum of 65 percent in 1982, rates of paper and cardboard had fluctuated throughout the period. Moreover, it peaked in 1994 before declining to 70 percent in 2010. It is conspicuous that the percentage of aluminum cans had rocketed over time by increasing up to 45 percent in 2010 approximately.
It is explicitly observed that the recycling percentages of plastics had stabilized below 10 percent with a slight rise. As the diagram suggests, rates of glass containers had shown substantial growth over the period. In 2010 paper and cardboard had the highest rates whereas plastic had the lowest rates.
