The diagram below shows how glass is recycled. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The diagram illustrates the process by which
glass
can be recycled. The process is circular and involves six main stages.
Firstly
, used
glass
bottles need to be separated from general household rubbish and placed in recycling bins. These bins are collected by a refuse lorry, which takes them to a treatment plant. At the treatment plant,
the first step is
to wash and sterilise the used
glass
in a special machine. Once
this
has been done, the clean and sterile bottles are sent to a second machine where they are crushed and melted. The resulting molten
glass
is
then
reshaped into new
glass
products in a moulding machine. These new bottles can be filled and delivered to supermarkets for sale. The process may
then
be repeated all over again.
Overall
, we can see there is no limit to how many times
glass
can be recycled and reused as long as consumers are prepared to take the initial step of separating
glass
rubbish from other household waste.
