The diagram illustrates an aluminium recycle process of cans from the moment they are disposed in the bins. It takes about seven steps of the process for them to be recycled and used again until they thrown in the bin and the process goes on and on like that.
Overall, one can note that the can is being put in the bin, and the bin collectors are transporting them to the compressing machines where they are processed and making of new recycled materials that can be used for fresh products with 74% recycled materials (UK).
As shown on the diagram, the lady is throwing a can in the aluminium cans only bin and the bin collectors emptied the cans in a truck, where they take the aluminium cans for cleaning, sorting, shredding and compressing of everything. After the compression process heat is applied on the can and melting process takes places immediately.
Soon after the melting process, there is the rolling process of 2.5mm-6mm thickness of the aluminium, and from there the recycled cans are produced readily for them to be re-used again. Lastly, branding and selling of the drinks in cans starts.
The diagram illustrates the whole process of recycling of aluminium cans from the point of disposal until they are reused again with new contains, which no one would think of the process
