The diagram illustrates the process by which aluminium drinks cans are recycled in 6 weeks. Overall, the whole process entails several stages, starting from transforming waste, followed by using chemicals and producing new cans for customers. Additionally, this process requires mainly machinery and minimal human intervention.
In the initial phase of the whole process, the waste of cans is transformed to the factory via heavy-duty vehicles, and deposited there. Once at the factory, the cans are cleaned by water in order to use them properly. Following this, they are crushed into tiny particles and processed at the factory.
Subsequently, crushed particles are erased using chemicals so that they can be restored. After this process, these materials are exposed to heat in the oven. Then, semi-ready material is moulded to shape the cans. In the next stage, moulded cans are weighted by putting into a scale. Finally, weighted cans are rolled by special equipment and produced before being purchased by consumers.
