British and German showed a steady but significant rise over the period,

while

the percentage of recycled waste in

France

experienced a downward trend.

Firstly

, In 2005, the recycling rates of the UK and Germany were nearly 35% and 20% respectively. Germany's estimate increased sharply throughout the years, exceeding

France

's proportion in 2009 and reaching almost 60%

at the end

of the duration.

In addition

, the proportion 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

also

continued with a gradual increase to 60% in 2015.

On the other hand

, In early 2005, the recycling percentage 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,

in contrast

,

France

's recycling amount was the lowest

at the end

of the term.
