The diagram shows how clothes are produced from recycled plastic bottles.
Overall, the whole process has three main stages: collecting the bottles, preparing them into raw materials, and finally producing clothing items.
At the beginning, used plastic bottles are collected from rubbish bins and transported by trucks to recycling factories. In the factory, the bottles are sorted, and only the usable ones are kept for the next step. These bottles are then cut into small pieces. After that, the pieces are washed with water and dried for about ten hours under heat so that they become safe for reuse.
In the next stage, the dried plastic is boiled and strained to remove impurities. Then, the clean material is changed into yarn, which becomes the main element for producing fabric. The yarn is woven, rolled into large sheets, and stored for later use.
Finally, the fabric is used to make clothes such as T-shirts, bags, or other useful items.
