The provided diagram details the process of manufacturing recyclable cups using plastic.
Generally, there are 10 main phases, starting with the collection of plastic waste, and culminating in the product distribution.
Firstly, a plethora of thrown plastic bottles are gathered before being transported to a nearby factory. Once the bottles reach their destination, they are placed onto conveyer belts leading to a sorting machine. After being divided into three different categories, the plastic is sent to a shredder, in which it is minced into tiny pieces. Following that, the pieces are examined to decide if they meet the manufacturer’s standard or not.
Moving on to the next step, the checked plastic is brought to a special machine that turns the pieces into plastic rolls. These rolls are next cleansed to eliminate unwanted bacteria just before being conveyed to a cup-making machine. Afterward, the plastic rolls undergo a cup-producing process that begins with the plastic rolls being unfolded, continuing with the long sheet being sanitized for a second time, and finishing with the plate being mechanically molded into cup-shaped items. Lastly, the cups are disconnected from the sheet and packaged for supplying to consumers.
