Task answer
The given diagram depicts how plastic bottles are recycled.
Overall, the process is comprised of 9 steps, which can be further divided to 3 main stages. Those commence at plastic bottles thrown in the garbage, and the accumulated bottles undergo various physical conditions, and culminate with final products which can then be recycled again.
The first step is that the bottles from bins are collected and stored in a truck, after which they are transported to a recycling area to categorize the suitable bottles. Next, they are constricted into cubes and grinded into pieces, followed by being purified in water to exclude dirt.
Subsequently, the clean fragments are introduced into a machine to manufacture plastic beads, which are melted in high temperature to shape raw material. Following this, the material is ready for being used to produce different kinds of items such as t-shirts, pencil, bags, boxes, or even plastic bottles which can be recycled again.
