The provided diagram demonstrates the recycling process of used aluminium beverages cans.
Overall, the process comprises eleven stages in regenerating aluminium cans from used ones, which take six weeks to be completed. Beginning with delivering the waste to recycling factories, followed by chemical erasing and ending with shaping new cans.
Initially, the aluminium cans waste is brought to the deposit, where it would be cleaned by water later. Subsequently, the washed cans are crushed before being conveyed through the factory for the next steps, including the use of chemicals to erase designs.
At the seventh stage, the crushed cans are heated to the liquid form so that they could easily become the desirable shape in the next step, in which they are put into a mould. Next, the shaped cans are checked whether they are in the same weight before being passed through a rolling machine, which covers them by the aluminium folds. The cans now becoming new products, ready to be used again.
