The picture illustrates how to make clothes from recycled plastic bottles.
Overall, this process comprises 9 steps, beginning with collecting plastic bottles, through sorting, crushing and heating stages, and ending with end products, including clothes and bottles, being produced. It is also noteworthy that the end products will be new materials to continue the process.
At the beginning of the process, plastic bottles are collected to be delivered to a recycling centre, where they are sorted. Subsequently, the sorted bottles are compressed into blocks, after which the blocks are crushed into small pieces. Once this crushing phase has been done properly, the small pieces are poured in a tank with water to be carefully washed.
The process continues with the purified pieces being transferred into a machine to produce plastic pellets. After that, the plastic pellets are heated to form raw materials, with the next step involving the raw materials used for producing clothes and new bottles. Finally, the end products of the whole process are materials to start the process again.
