The diagram illustrates the procedure of how to recycle worn-out glass bottles.
Overall, it can be observed that there are three phases in recycling used glass bottles, beginning with the collection of wasted bottles and ending with the delivery of newly created bottles.
First, wasted glass bottles are gathered and put into a collection point and then these bottles will be transferred to a facility where they are placed into high-pressure water tanks to wash out dirt and impurities. Next, the bottles will be arranged and categorized into three colours (brown, green and clear).
In the subsequent stage, the bottles are then delivered to a glass factory where they will be smashed into small pieces. Then, the process continues by putting them into a burning furnace with temperatures ranging from 6000c up to 8000C and then a liquid is produced. Afterwards, the recycled liquid glass and new liquid glass will be combined and shaped in a glass mould. Finally, newly formed glasses are filled with products and delivered to different supermarkets.
