Overall, there is considerable variability in the proportion of designated materials salvaged, involving four distinct categories.

Aluminium cans entered the chart in 1986, starting at half of 10%, and experienced a gradual increase to approximately 45% by 2010, showcasing a delayed but steady growth compared to paper and cardboard.
