Given is a diagram illustrating the process by which glass bottles are

recycled. It is evident from the information supplied that there are three
main phases involved.
Prior to the actual processing of the bottles, it is first necessary for the
recycle to collect them from consumers. They are then gathered at a
collection point and transported by truck to a cleaning factory.
The second stage of the recycling process, meanwhile, entails the fact that
the glass bottles are cleaned under high-pressure water to remove dust and
other hazardous particles before being sorted into colors, which are
usually clear, green, and brown. The bottles are then transferred to a glass
factory, where they are chopped into pieces and placed into a furnace
once the cleaning procedure is completed. Having further been heated in
the furnace, this recycled glass is transformed into liquid form, and it is
put into a glass mould joined with the additional glass liquid. As a
consequence, a new glass bottle is made.
In the third and final phase, new bottles are filled with liquid and then
packed and transported to stores where they can be sold.
