The diagrams illustrate the process by which glass containers, like battles, are produced and. recycled.
Overall, the first diagram shows the steps in the process of production of glass starting from mixing the raw materials to making glass containers. The another diagram exhibits the steps for glass recycling that begins with the collection of used glass and ends by moulding into new products.
First and foremost, to produce glass, raw materials such as chemicals such as Sand Soda ash, limestone and other are mixed together. After that, the mixture is melted in a glass furnace at approximately 1500°C. The molten glass is then shaped into certain ways by blowing and thereafter glass containers are formed.
To commence with the glass recyding process, used glass are collected and then sorted according to their colours. The glass are next washed properly to remove any impurities. After washing, the clean glass is crushed and melted. Finally, it is moulded in new shape to form new products.
