BBC correspondents offer snapshots of how countries across the globe are approaching recycling.
"Figures suggest 60% of all household waste could be recycled, but the UK appears to be reusing only 14.5%.
...Switzerland is proud of its recycling efforts, and with good reason. Glass and paper are just some of the things the average Swiss refuses to simply throw away... the Swiss do not recycle just because they care about the environment. There is a strong financial incentive. Recycling is free, but in most parts of Switzerland throwing away rubbish costs money - each rubbish bag has to have a sticker on it, and each sticker costs at least one euro (60 pence)."
