The flow chart illustrates the way in which plastics are recycled.
Overall, it is clear that there are 7 distinct stages in the whole recycling process, commencing with the consumption of plastic products and ending with new products being sold at shops or being discarded in landfills.
To begin, disposable plastics come from the buying and using products are sorted into two separate types, namely bottles and rubbish. The bottles are then collected and sent to a sorting house. Following this, the sorted plastics are delivered to a processing factory via trucks, where they are introduced to a particular process to become new products. Next, the newly manufactured goods are sold to the consumers by retailers.
On the other hand, unrecyclable plastics like bags and rubbish are filtered out before being disposed at the landfill.
