The line graph illustrates the proportion of household recycling in three different countries: the UK, France, and Germany, between 2005 and 2015.
Initially, it is evident that household recycling rates for France started to decrease in the following years. However, the household recycling percentage saw a significant increase later.
France started with 50% in 2005, and it was the highest percentage of recycling. Then it started to decline steadily until it fell to just over 30% in 2013. It increased by 10% in 2015 and finished at 40%. By contrast, the other two countries saw an increase until 2015. Regarding Germany, the household recycling percentage in 2005 was at 20%, which was the lowest proportion of household recycling. Then, it experienced considerable growth, and in 2011 it reached about 45%. In the following years, it continued to rise to about 55%.
The UK experienced 35% in 2005, and until 2009, it remained stable at 40%. Then it rose significantly and finished at 60%, which was the highest percentage in the graph.
