The line graph provides information about the household recycling rates in the UK, France and Germany from 2005 to 2015.
Overall, the recycle rates of the UK and Germany had a steady but significant rise over the period, while the percentage of recycled waste in France experienced a downward trend.
In 2005 the recycle rates of the UK and Germany was 35% and 20% respectively. Germany’s rates increased sharply throughout the period, exceeding France’s rate in 2009 and reaching 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 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 was 50% which accounted for the highest rate among these three countries. However, it dramatically declined to 30% in 2013. Then, there was a growth of 10% in 2015, but France's rate was the lowest at the end of the period.
