The line graph below shows the production of paper, wood pulp and sawn-wood in the UK from 1980 to 2000.

The graph illustrates the paper, wood pulp and sawn-wood produced in the UK between 1980 and 2000.
It is clear from the chart that the production of paper and packaging saw a sharp increase while that of saw-wood and wood pulp was the opposite. Besides, the amount of paper and packaging manufactured was remarkably higher than the other two over the period of 20 years.
From 1980 to 1990, the line for paper and packaging slightly rose, from 230 to 250 million tonnes. By contrast, that of saw-wood and wood pulp experienced a decrease. In terms of sawn-wood, it was 170 million tonnes in 1980 and 200 in terms of wood pulp. Both reached 150 million tonnes in 1990.
Looking at the graph for more detail, by the last 10 years, while a great deal of wood pulp devised continued to fell down to 130, the manufacture of paper and packaging and wood pulp went up. However, the former boomed and peaked at 350 million tonnes, doubled the figure of sawn-wood produced, which stood at 165 million tonnes after a small drop.
