This accounted for 4 per cent of Australia's total recyclable waste, but included significant amounts of recyclable plastics and recyclable paper (35 per cent and 30 per cent of Australia's totals)."

(spoiler alert)
A lot of the themes and messages in Avatar are very common in science fiction, in particular the parallels with the story of Dune are striking:
- greedy corporation seeks to exploit a resource with little regard for the native population (spice/unobtainium)

- native population and their natural habitat are massively underestimated and through help of saviour defeat greedy corporation
