The diagram provides a detailed look at the process of recycling

glass

.

Overall

,

this

cyclical process can be divided into six main stages. We can

also

see that there is no limit to how many times

glass

can be recycled and reused.

Initially

, consumers need to segregate used

glass

bottles from regular household waste, placing them into dedicated recycling bins. These bins are

then

picked up by waste collection trucks and transported to a recycling facility. At

this

facility, the initial action involves washing and sterilizing the collected

glass

using specialized equipment. After being cleaned and sterilized, the

glass

undergoes another phase where it is crushed and

subsequently

melted.

This

molten

glass

is

then

moulded into new

glass

items using a shaping machine. Once manufactured, these new

glass

bottles are ready to be filled and distributed to retail outlets for consumer purchase. Following use, these bottles can enter the recycling loop once more.
