Plastics Recycling Percentage Infographics

Slide Content

The slide presents data on the fate of plastic waste, illustrated through a matrix of bin icons and three percentage circles. The bin icons represent the proportion of plastics in categories: landfilled (33%), recycled and composted (35%), and combusted for energy (32%). The visual quantification of data emphasizes how close these figures are, indicating a balanced distribution of plastic waste management methods.

Graphical Look

• A matrix of icons representing bins is used to visually quantify the proportion of plastics.
• There are three distinct colors for the bins: teal, grey, and lime green, corresponding to different waste outcomes.
• Three circular graphs with percentages in the center show the exact distribution of plastic waste.
• A large Lego-like block is displayed, half teal and half lime, possibly symbolizing the idea of building or reconstruction pertaining to recycling.
• The title is prominently displayed at the top in dark grey, contrasting with the lighter background.
• The three percentage figures (33%, 35%, 32%) are accompanied by short text explanations to the right.
• The text uses a sans-serif font, which is clean and modern, making it easy to read.
• Background is white with a subtle shadow effect in the upper right corner.

The overall look of the slide is clean and modern with a well-organized layout that allows for quick comprehension of the presented statistics. The infographics use color coding and proportional iconography to effectively communicate the data on plastics recycling.
