The line graph shows the information on recycling rates of wastage in the U.S. from 1960 to 2011 and the proportion of recycling.
Beginning from 1960, the total waste recovery recorded was 5.6 million tons; every five years, it slightly goes upward. The changes recorded in 1985 were huge, which was 16.7 million tons. After that, every five years, it skyrocketed by almost 10 to 20 million tons and by the year 2011, it was recorded (86.9 million tons) by a considerable margin as compared to 1960.
Moving ahead, the percentage of recycling started in 1960 at only 6.4%, and every five years, it went up, and by the end of 1990, it was recorded by 16%, and in the next ten years, it went up by 12% and by the end of 2011 it was at 34.7% which means it went up almost 30% as compared to 1960.
Overall, with technological advancements, waste recovery increased rapidly, so waste recycling also goes upward.
