The diagram provides information about the steps needed to recycle aluminum drinks cans. In summary, the entire process contains two main steps: the wash and crush stage and the shaping phase, which involve treating the waste cans in multiple stages to make new ones.
In the first main step, waste cans are collected and moved to a specific facility by large trucks, where they are deposited. These cans are then washed and crushed at the next stage, before being fed into an installation that removes their old design with chemicals.
Moving on to the next main phase of the entire process, the erased cans are heated and then shaped in a mould to ensure they are the same size. By using a weight scale, the shaped cans are then estimated and checked accurately to guarantee that they are all the same weight before they pass through a rolling machine. Subsequently, the new recycled cans are ready to be used again.
