The diagram explains the way of recycling glass bottles in 7 stages, beginning with collecting glass bottles from the public and culminating in new bottles being made.
To begin, all kinds of used glass bottles are collected from the public. Following this, the bottles are prepared for transport to the next step of the procedure. Classification follows, where the bottles are divided according to their specific cap material—either metal cap or plastic cap.
In the subsequent stage, the classified bottles are processed at plants, leading to the breaking down of the glass into tiny pieces. Using a car, these broken pieces of glass from the plant are transported to the glass factory. The broken glass and additional raw materials are placed into a 1200-degree furnace. The high temperature of the furnace causes the materials to completely melt, in turn forming an essential melted mixture.
Finally, the melted mixture is molded and processed by the glass factory, crafting it into new bottles, summing up the entire recycling procedure for glass bottles.
