The diagram below shows the recycling process of aluminium cans. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The diagram represents the way in which the

aluminium

cans

are recycled.

Overall

, there are seven stages in the whole

aluminium

bottle recycling process, beginning with the throwing away of used

cans

in some specific bins and ending with the reusing of the metal in factories.

To begin

, the can need to be taken by special collection trucks

instead

of normal ones.

Then

the

cans

are collected and taken to a factory which is used to

first,

cleaned and

then

sorted.

Next,

they are shredded and crushed in a special machine. In the subsequent phase, the metal goes through a heating and melting process at a high enough temperature. Afterwards, it is rolled out flat to a thickness of between 2.55 mm and 6mm.The

aluminium

is now ready to be recycled into a new packing,

as well as

drink containers.

Finally

, the new

cans

are delivered to a soft drink factory where they are filled. In the UK, 74 per cent of all

aluminium

cans

that are used are recycled.
