The diagram provides a detailed look at the process of recycling

glass

.

Overall

, it is a man-made process divided into six cyclic phases, beginning with the trash bin and ending with the distribution to the market. We can

also

see that there is no limit to how many times

glass

can be recycled and reused. First of all, consumers need to segregate the used

glass

bottles from regular household waste and dispose of them in allocated recycle bins, from where they are transported to the recycling facility by large waste collection trucks. At the treatment plant,

glass

is washed thoroughly and is made free of germs by placing it into washing and sterilizing equipment.

After

this

, it is crushed into fine pieces and

subsequently

melted. It is carried out in a crushing and melting machine to convert it to a soft liquid mass. The molten mixture is

then

poured into moulds to make an item of desirable shape and standard size using a shaping machine. Once manufactured, these bottles are

finally

loaded onto delivery trucks for distribution to retail outlets. And, that’s the how loop goes on repeatedly.
