The given diagram illustrates the way in which waste glass bottles are recycled for reusing purpose.
Overall, looking at the illustration, it is immediately evident that wasted glass bottle recycling is a manmade linear process.
In addition, there are 3 main stages in the process beginning with the collection of used glass bottles and culminating in the finished items to their destinations.
It can be seen from the picture that firstly, used glass bottles are gathered at the collection point then being loaded onto the truck. Consequently, these bottles are washed with high-pressure water. Afterward, these processed bottles are sorted out into three different groups namely clear, green and brown before being moved to a glass factory where they are broken into small pieces. After those pieces are heated at a higher temperature of 600-800 o C in a furnace into a recycled liquid glass which is mixed with new liquid glass. The mixture is shaped in a glass mould into bottles.
At the final stage of the recycling process is finished bottles used for other products and ready for sales.
