The flowchart illustrates how the process of recycling plastic bottles unfolds into several stages.

Overall, it is evident that the process commences with consumers disposing of their plastic bottles and concludes with the production of various items for consumers.

Examining the chart more closely, consumers dump their plastic bottles into a giant collection bin, designed to gather recyclable materials. Subsequently, garbage trucks collect these junks and transport them to a recycling center. In this facility, the plastic bottles undergo sorting, compression into blocks, and then shredding by a sophisticated machine. These resulting scraps need to be washed to purify their from dirt or stains.

After washing, the plastic pellets are fed into another advanced heating machine, which melts the pellet to form raw materials. These ingredients are then collected and stacked on racks. In the final stage, these raw materials can be used to manufacture various products, including plastic bottles, plastic boxes, T-shirts, pencils and plastic bags. These products are then sold to consumers, completing a recycling cycle.
