The diagram illustrates the method by which wasted glass bottles are recycled.
Overall, the process consists of three main stages, beginning with the collection of used bottles, followed by manufacturing, and ending with their distribution to supermarkets.
In the first stage, wasted bottles are collected. Used bottles are gathered from collection points and transported to a factory, where they are recycled.
The manufacturing process begins with washing the bottles using high-pressure water, after which they are sorted according to their colour: brown, green and clear. The bottles are then crushed into glass pieces at the factory. After that, these pieces are melted in a furnace at temperatures between 600°C and 800°C. In the final stage of manufacturing, the liquid glass is shaped into new bottles using a glass mould.
Finally, the bottles are filled with different liquids and delivered to supermarkets, where they are ready for sale. Then, as used bottles are gathered in collection points, the circle continues in the same way
