The diagram shows the linear process of recycling plastic bottles to produce clothes and other end products.
Overall, the process consists of nine main stages, beginning with the collection of used plastic bottles and finishing with the manufacturing of finished goods like clothing.
First of all, plastic bottles are collected by individuals and thrown into waste bins. After that, a garbage truck transports the collected plastic to a recycling centre, where the bottles are sorted manually by workers. Next, the sorted plastic is compressed tightly into large blocks.
In the fifth step, these compressed blocks are crushed into smaller pieces, which are then washed to remove dirt and impurities. Following this, the washed plastic flakes are processed in a machine to produce plastic pellets. These pellets are subsequently heated and converted into a raw material, which looks like fabric or yarn. Finally, this raw material is used to manufacture various end products, such as clothes, bags, and containers.
