The diagram illustrates the various stages in the recycling of waste glass bottles.
Overall, the process involves three main stages, beginning with the collection of the used glass bottles and ending with the delivery of products in new bottles to supermarkets.
In the first step, wasted bottles are deposited at collection points, where they are loaded onto trucks for transporting to a glass recycling factory. At the following step, the bottles undergoes the process of cleaning with high-pressure water and they are then divided into a clear, green and brown glass. Following this, the glass is then broken into pieces in the glass factory and passed through a furnace, where they are burned at a temperature of 600 to 800 degrees Celsius. This recycled glass is made in liquid form, and it is joined with new liquid glass ready for moulding into a bottle shape.
The diagram concludes with the new bottles used for different products, ready for sale in supermarkets or shops.
