The process diagram illustrates the procedure for recycling lightweight cans. The procedure begins with used cans and consists of seven distinct stages, concluding with the reuse of the cans.
First, the used cans are discarded into a dustbin, from which they are collected in a garbage container. They then undergo a process of clearing, sorting, and compression through a machine. Subsequently, they enter another machine where they are heated and melted.
Next, the melted aluminum is rolled into sheets that are 2.5mm to 6mm thick. The process then continues toward its final stage, where the aluminum is recycled and prepared for reuse. Just before completion, aluminum cans are recycled in a manner that allows people to use them again.
Finally, the process diagram indicates that 74% of aluminum is recycled in the UK.
