The line chart provides information about the production of paper, wood pulp and sawn-wood in the United Kingdom over a period of 20 years starting from 1980.
Overall, it is clear that the production of paper and packaging increased significantly while the opposite was true for sawn-wood and wood pulp. Also, the figure for the production of paper was the highest during the period.
Commencing at around 230 million tonnes, the production of paper and packaging demonstrated an steady surge of 20 million during the first 10 years, before reaching a peak at 350 million in 2000, leading to the first rank position.
Conversely, while the figure for the production of sawn-wood was 30 million higher than that of wood-pulp starting around 170 million, both of these categories plunged gradually to the same peak at roughly 150 million in the same timeframe. From 1990 to 2000, a minimal upward trend of approximately 10 million was recorded in the production of wood-pulp, while that for sawn-wood fell morately to hit the lowest peak at about 130 million in 2000.
