The given diagram depicts the procedure of recycling aluminium cans. Overall, the process consisted of 7 steps, starting from waste classification to recycling and reuse process.
To start the process, the cans made of aluminium are thrown to a specialized bin after people finish using. These cans are then be collected by workers to a high-tech garbage truck which can automatically lift the bin. After the used cans arrived at a factory, they are put into state of the art machines to be cleaned (take off all the remaining dirt), sorted by size or shape, shredded (cut into thin strips) and compressed (flatten by squeezing them).
Following that, the well compressed cans are heated and melted in high degrees to get a liquid texture. These liquid aluminium are then rolled into pieces with an average thickness of 2.5mm to 6mm. After that, the rolls are recycled into brand new, clean and beautiful cans. The recycled cans are sold to drink companies with a more economical price so that they can continue using them for beverage purposes. Additionally, it is commendable that 74% of cans are recycled in the UK.
