The chart illustrates the way in which aluminium drinks cans are recycled.
Overall, it is clear that this is a step-by-step manufacturing process, which lasts six weeks. The process includes 11 stages, starting with collecting drinks bottles from landfills and ailminating in the production of new recycled cans.
First of all, drinks cans are collected and transported by trunks to the factories before being deposited. After that, they are washed by fresh water and crushed into small pieces. In the next stage, they pass through a process in the factory, including the use of chemicals to erase designs.
The next stage in the process involves putting them in a heater at very high temperature. After that, they are moulded and weighted carefully to make sure that they are all the same size and weight. Next, the moulded cans pass through a rolling machine. Finally, after being rolled, drinks cans are packaged and produced ready to use again.
