<abstract displayLabel="Summary">Today there are recycling programs throughout the EU, from Turin, Italy, to Dundee, Scotland. Some systems depend on curbside pickup of multicolored trash bags. Others require home owners to haul recyclables to the nearest collection site. Increasingly, industry recycles certain materials, such as plastics, in one "closed loop". The most commonly recycled materials are glass, paper, steel, aluminium and plastics. How do EU countries compare? According to many experts, Germany has the most comprehensive recycling program in the world, with Denmark and the Netherlands not far behind. These three countries aim to recycle waste at rates of 50 percent to 80 percent within the next decade</abstract>
