The illustration demonstrates the cycle of reprocessing aluminum drink cans. Overall, the entire process contains nine steps with three main phases in sequence, from gathering aluminum cans at the collection centre, followed by the conversion of aluminum cans into other aluminum articles, and ending with them being ready for intake by people or sold by retailers
Firstly, people will collect the aluminum objects from household trash or the landfill. This garbage is going to be transported by car to the recycling centre. There, the trash is arranged, and the aluminum objects will be selected to be put into a special plant to recycle them.
The remaining steps produce recycled articles. The collected aluminum pieces will be put into a kiln to be melted down at a significantly high temperature. In the following step, the introduced new aluminum will be pressed flat and rolled up like a paper roll, resulting in the aluminum roll being shaped like a can with various colors, which is utilized or purchased by retailers, drink machines, and consumers, respectively. These people, in turn, throw away trash after using, renewing the cycle.
