▶ Your Answer :
The line graphs elucidate the information about the rates of waste
recovery and recycling rates in USA for the period 1960 to 2011.
It is apparent that, the recycling was capable to cover the
garbage waste in the US. However, as the amount of garbage waste increases the
recycling could not cope. As a result, the amount of garbage waste was exceeding
more than the US can recycle. It is apparent that, the recycling was capable to cover the
garbage waste in the US. However, as the amount of garbage waste increases the
recycling could not cope. As a result, the amount of garbage waste was
exceeding more than the US can recycle.
As it can be shown from the graph, the recycling rate was more
than the garbage waste in 1960 where it recorded at 5.6 million tons of garbage
was thrown in the US while 6.4% of waste had been recycled. However, this amount
of garbage continued to increase to reach at almost the same amount as the
recycling proportion in 1985. By 1985, the garbage reached at 16.7 million tons
while 10.1% of those waste recycled. From 1900, the garbage waste was more than that can recycle. In
1990, the waste was reached at 33.2 million tons whereas only 16% can be recycled.
The recycling ability continued to increase but it cannot catch up with the
rapid incremental trend of wastes in the US which reached at its peak of 86.9
million tons in 2011. Concurrently, the recycling ability had increased
steadily to reach at 34.7% in 2011. |
