Scandinavian and north - western European countries recycle the most . Overall , Sweden , Finland , Norway , Holland , Denmark , Austria , Switzerland , Germany , France and Japan have the highest recycling rates
US
Today , the US recycles 42 % of all paper , 55 % of all aluminium beer and soft drink cans , 57 % of steel packaging and 52 % of all major appliances . This has more than doubled in the last 15 years . Of course , the amount of recycling in the US differs from state to state . Alaska recycles less than 9 % of its waste while New York recycles 40 %.
Europe
The Swiss do not just throw things away . They reuse and recycle them . They have to . And , they have to pay for some of it ! Although recycling is free , rubbish bags that are collected from homes must have a sticker , which costs one Euro . If the rubbish does not have a sticker , the rubbish rots at the person 's doorstep . Switzerland recycles 91 % of its drink cans , It recycles 80 % of its plastics containers , which is more than Europe 's average 30 % ! If it 's Germany , it must be Eco - friendly . Recycling in Germany is a very complicated activity . People tend to look out for items with the Green Dot , which simply means that the manufacturer has to pay for packaging . Green Dot products have less paper and metal and use thinner glass . Recycling bins are colour - coded brown , grey , black , yellow and green . If things are not in the correct bin they could land up getting burned in the incinerator , which could give out poisonous gases .
Spain can easily be called the leader of glass recycling . The law in this country puts the responsibility of recycling on companies that sell their products in glass containers . Companies have to pay for the collection , sorting and recycling of their bottles .
