Model Answer 1:
The diagram illustrates the plastic bottle recycling procedure and the
different steps involved in this recycling process.
Overall, the process of recycling plastic bottles has nine steps, starting from
placing the bottles in the designated bins to producing end-consumer
products like bags, t-shirts, pencils and so on.
As the illustration depicts, the first step of recycling plastic bottles begins
with people placing used plastic bottles in specified recycle bins. Next, those
bottles are collected and transported to recycling centres where workers sort
out recyclable plastic bottles. Selected bottles are then compressed and
converted into large blocks which are, afterwards, sent through crushing
machines. The crushing process produces small plastic pieces which are then
washed before feeding them into a machine to make plastic pellets. In the
next step, heat is applied to the pellets that ultimately form the raw
materials for producing different plastic-made consumer goods. Next, the
raw materials are refined and rolled which is used to manufacture end
products like t-shirts, pens, plastic bottles, containers, and so on. To reiterate
the recycling process, the end products are placed in the designated bins
once they get torn out or used. It keeps the plastic recycling process going.
