The diagram depicts the process of aluminium cans recycling.

Overall, it can be obviously seen that this process is comprised of six main stages, commencing with the
gathering of discarded cans, and culminating in redistribution for reuse.

Initally, used cans are collected from various sources in preparation for the recycling procedure. Once
the cans are gathered, they are then transported to a processing facility where they undergo cleaning,
sorting, shredding, and compressing into small portions. Following that, these processed cans are then
heated to extremely high temperatures and melted to form liquid aluminium.

In the next stage, after finishing the heating and melting stage, the texture in rolled out with a thickness
of between 2.5mm and 6mm. Following this, the aluminum is now ready to be recycled into new
packaging. Finally, the new cans are delivered to a soft drinks factory where they are filled. The cans can
now be sold to the public and reused. In the UK, 74 per cent of all aluminum cans that are sold are
recycled.
