The graphic depicts the recycling of glass bottles.
In general, it is evident that the recycling process
involves three distinct steps, beginning with the gathering of discarded bottles and finishing with new items appearing in the stores to be consumed.
To begin with, empty bottles are sent to a
collecting site. The bottles are transported by truck from the collection station to a factory and a cleaning plant. Here, the plastic bottles are cleansed with water, then divided into colors (clear, green, or brown) and readied for the next processes.
After being cleaned and classify, the bottles are
taken to a recycling facility where the glass pieces are put into a furnace to create liquid glass. Regarding that, the liquid old glass is merged with new liquid glass and set into bottle-shaped moulds. Finally, the fresh bottles are ready for use and are being delivered to supermarkets and made available for sale.
