The line graph provides information about the rate of household recycling in the UK,
France and Germany over the period from 2005 to 2015. It can be seen that rates of
recycling in the UK and Germany both experienced significant improvements, rising to
first and second place respectively. In contrast, the rate in France witnessed a steady fall,
dropping from first to third place overall, despite recovering in the last two years.
Turning to the detail, the average recycling rate in the UK initially grew from 35% to 40%
in 2007, and then flattened out until 2009, after which it increased significantly, ending
the period with the highest figure at over 60%. Recycling in Germany also shot up
dramatically during the period but more steadily than in the UK, rising from 20% in 2005
to well over 55% in 2015.
By contrast, despite starting with the highest figure, there was a remarkable fall in France
from an initial 50% to only 30% in 2013. There was a recovery at the end of the period,
finishing with a rate of approximately 40%.
