The process chart illustrates the process of making new clothes from recycled plastic bottles, as an effort to improve sustainability. The process depicts nine steps, from putting plastic bottles in the trash to producing new end products, like clothes.
The process starts with empty plastic bottles in the trash and then getting transported to the recycling center, where an employee sorts the plastic bottles and material. After that, the different materials will be compressed into quadratic blocks for easier logistics and storage purposes. These blocks will then get crushed into small plastic pieces and cleaned in a huge water tank.
In order to create new raw material, these small plastic peaces will then be transformed into plastic pellets with the help of a special machine to make it easier to heat the material. The heat will create new raw material, which then can be used to produce new end products or clothes for consumers.
