The diagram illustrates the process of how

glass

is being recycled.

Overall

, the recycling process can be broken down into various stages based on the physical form of the bottle

in addition

to the export of the final products. The initial stage begins with

glass

bottles received by treatment plants, where the operation of converting recyclable

glass

takes place. To ensure it is in a sterile and hygienic condition, it undergoes a comprehensive process that removes dirt and bacteria via a machine in a circular motion. The following steps comprise two methods- melting and crushing. The method involves a compressor that presses against the

glass

until it is shattered into pieces, before going through the melting machine to convert it into a liquid form. The moulding phase includes using a moulding machine to pour coexisting melted liquid into the templates to restore their original form. After completing the operation stages, the newly produced

glass

bottles are

then

delivered to supermarkets to be received in the hands of consumers before repeating the cycle again.
