The image depicts the step-by-step process of how water bottles are reused.
On the whole, it is a man made and linear process showing 3 main stages, pre-plant stage, what happens in the factory, and what it goes through after the factory. There are 7 steps which I will detail in the next paragraphs.
It all begins with old bottles being collected, gathered, and brought to a storage area. They are then moved to a plant to be thoroughly cleaned with the help of pressurized water. In In the next step, they are sorted out according to their usual colors which could be brown, green, or transparent ones. The sorted out glasses are moved to the glass factory in which they are broken down into tiny, little pieces. Subsequently, they are subjected to extreme heat that ranges from 600 to 800 degrees celsius. Once they are completely melted, they are poured on desired molds. These new bottles are filled with new products that are brought to different chain stores, supermarkets, or local stores to be consumed by buyers. The process will restate itself as the used bottles will go throught the same cycle again.
