The diagram details the cyclical process of recycling aluminium cans, which lasts six weeks.
Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that the cycle consists of 11 consecutive stages, starting with aluminium cans going to waste, followed by numerous stages of processing at the factory, and finishing with new cans being manufactured.
At the first stage, tins made of aluminum are wasted and then transported to a factory. Next, the cans are sprayed with water and after that they are crushed into one mass. This is followed by aluminium being processed at the factory and, subsequently, cleaned with chemicals.
The next stage is heat, with aluminum being warmed up and afterwards moulded into a new shape. After the aluminium mass is weighted, it is rolled using special machines to give the mass a can shape. Finally, new aluminium cans are manufactured and cycle can repeat itself, with tins being used and wasted again.
