The illustrated picture shows how plastics are recycled. In general, used products will be collected, go through many recycling steps, and reuse eventually. In the other hand, they may be thrown directly to the wasteland.
First of all, after being used, people collect plastic and categorize them into groups to identify if those things can be reprocessed or not. Afterward, bottles will be transported to factories where they will be melted in order to eliminate sand or dust. Melted liquid then be pour in mold. After that, other companies buy them to contain stuffs, such as beverage or seasoning. Finally, filled bottle will be allocated to shops to sell to buyers – a new cycle then start again and continously.
Otherwise, most of waste will be thrown away when humans humans don’t need them anymore. If synthetic trash are not processed, their cycles may ends up at the dump and disintegrate after thousand years.
