The illustration depicts how plastic bottles are recycled. OVERALL, there are 9 steps THE PROCESS COMPRISES A NUMBER OF STEPS / A TOTAL OF NINE STEPS, starting ~~at~~ WITH people putting plastic bottles into bins and ending with the production of new products. This is achieved by turning plastic bottles into raw materials that can be turned into a range of plastic commercial goods. The process ~~beginning~~ BEGINS with the placement of plastic containers into specialized bins, AFTER which THEY are collected AND TRANSPORTED by bin lorries TO SORTING FACILITIES WHERE THEY ARE CLASSIFIED BY HAND INTO THE SUITABLE / RIGHT / APPROPRIATE CATEGORIES. / SUBSEQUENTLY, they are then transported to a processing plant to be sorted by hand. When / ONCE they have been correctly sorted, they ~~can be~~ ARE THEN compressed into ~~bottle plastic~~ blocks. AFTER THAT, THESE BLOCKS OF PLASTIC BOTTLES ARE CRUSHED INTO SMALL PIECES BY A SPECIALIZED MACHINE, AT WHICH POINT THESE PIECES ARE ALSO WASHED AS THEY DROP INTO A WATER TANK POSITIONED BELOW THE MACHINE. THE PROCESS CONTINUES WITH the blocks of plastic bottles ~~are~~ BEING crushed, and the resulting fragments drop into a liquid so that they can be washed. The ~~substance~~ FRAGMENTS ARE then placed into ANOTHER machine TO producE plastic pellets that can be heated to produce the raw material, after which IT IS USED IN THE manufacturing OF various PLASTIC goods ~~contain plastic~~, and the process commences again. / THE PROCESS CONTINUES WITH THE WASHED PLASTIC FRAGMENTS BEING SENT TO ANOTHER MACHINE USED FOR PLASTIC PELLETS PRODUCTION, WHICH ARE LATER HEATED TO FORM RAW MATERIAL. FINALLY, VARIOUS TYPES OF PRODUCTS SUCH AS PLASTIC BOTTLES, CONTAINERS, T-SHIRTS, BAGS, AND PENS ARE PRODUCED USING THE RAW MATERIAL, THEREBY REPEATING THE PROCESS WHEN CONSUMERS PURCHASE, USE AND DISCARD THESE ITEMS ONCE AGAIN.
