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

The line graph depicts the comparison of regional household recycling rates in three various British countries namely, the United Kingdom,

France

and

Germany

from 2005 to 2015.

Overall

, the recycling rates in the UK and

Germany

showed a steady but significant rise over the period,

while

the percentage of recycled waste in

France

experienced a downward trend. In 2005 the recycling rates in England and

Germany

were nearly 35% and 20% respectively.

Germany

's

rate

strapped up sharply throughout the cycle, exceeding the

rate

in 2009 and reaching approximately 55% in 2015. In the meantime, the range of recycled waste in the UK grew to 40% in 2007 and

then

remained steady until 2009.

Similarly

, During 2009-2011 it observed 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.
