The graph illustrates the rates of recycling in the households of three different countries: The UK, France and Germany from 2005-2015.
The data shows that the UK and Germany recycle the most, France recycles the least. Generally, household recycling rates in the UK and Germany increased at similar rates, while France’s rates showed a steady decrease before rising again.
In 2005, France had the highest household recycling rates, with 50% of households recycling. However, this number declined steadily until reaching a low of 30% in 2013, before rising again to 40% in 2015. The UK and France started at 35% and 20% respectively in 2005. Both rose steadily until 2007. In that year, the UK plateaued until 2009 before rising again to 50% in 2011 and climbing to just above 60% in 2015. Germany on the other hand showed a consistent increase from 20% in 2005 to just below 60% in 2015.
It can be seen that the UK has the highest rates of household recycling of the three countries, with Germany not far behind. France, although starting with the highest rates, is now the lowest of the three.
