The procedure for reusing bottles made of glass is depicted in the diagram. Overall, there are a number of steps divided into 3 stages commencing with empty bottles and finishing with these filled with commercial products, on sale at retail outlets.
Initially, in stage 1, the bottles are taken to a collection point where they are gathered and transported away by a truck. In stage 2, the bottles are divided into three categories according to their color after they have been cleaned using a high-pressure wash.
Subsequently, at the glass factory, they are crushed into pieces and then loaded into a furnace where they are heated at high temperatures until liquified. Next, the liquid glass is mixed with new glass material and poured into a mold which shapes it into a new bottle. In what is categorized as stage 3, bottles are filled with various products and finally transported to stores where they are placed on sale.
