The diagram demonstrates the stages involved in recycling plastic bottles.
Overall, the process contains nine steps, which create a cyclic movement. It is clear that the end products are then used for the production of raw materials.
At the beginning of the process, all plastic trash is delivered by special machines to a recycling center, where it goes through the sorting process. Then, plastic bottles are divided into those valid for further steps and those not by workers. After this, the suitable ones are compressed into blocks. Next, the compressed blocks are picked up by a special machine, which crushes them into tiny pieces.
To continue, at the sixth step these pieces are washed for the production of plastic pellets. Furthermore, the produced pellets are heated to obtain raw materials; the raw materials are arranged into vertical columns for producing different products. As a result, these raw materials are used for producing different items, such as t-shirts, containers, plastic bags, and pencils as well.
