The line graph below shows the household recycling rates in three different countries between 2005 and 2015. B66a

The line graph illustrates the regional household recycling rates in the UK, France, and Germany from 2005 to 2015. In 2005, the UK and Germany's recycling rates were nearly 35% and 20%, respectively. Germany rates increased sharply throughout the period, exceeding France's rate in 2009 and reached almost 60% at the end of the period. In the meantime, the percentage of recycled waste in the UK grew to 40% in 2007 and then remained steady until 2009. During 2009-2011 it experienced a rapid surge to more than 50% and continued with a gradual increase to 60% in 2015. In early 2005 the recycling rate of France 50% was the highest among these three countries. However, it dramatically declined to 30% in 2013. Then, there was a growth of 10% in 2015, but France's recycling rate was the lowest at the end of the period. Overall, the UK and Germany's recycling rates showed an upward trend while the percentage of recycled waste in France experienced a downward trend.
