The demonstrated diagram provides data on the recycling procedure of glass bottles.
Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that recycling of the bottle containers involves three main stages: collection and transportation, cleaning and reshaping process, as well as preparing them for vending in the supermarkets.
At the first stage, the used bottles are brought to a collection point; from there bottles are transported to the specific place where the water containers undergo the subsequent steps of the recycling process.
In the upcoming stage, the transported bottles are thoroughly cleaned with the help of highly pressurized water flow. Once purified, the bottles are sorted by their colors, such as brown, green, or transparent. Afterwards, when they have been brought to the glass factory, the bottles are smashed to turn them into glass pieces. Then, smashed glass is melted in the furnace, from 600 to 800 degrees Celsius. Next, the molten glass is shaped in the form of the bottle again in the glass mould.
Finally, prior to sending ready products to the supermarkets for sale, the containers are filled with a variety of beverages and bottled as safety measures in order to preclude drinks from being spilled or spoiled.
