Model Answer
The given picture illustrates the stages in the recycling of glass bottles. It is clear that seven steps are involved in the process.
In the first step, glass bottles are collected from the public and segregated into green, brown and clear colours. In the second step, they are transported to the processing plant where classification is done based on the metal and plastic caps, which are removed. In the fourth step, the glass is broken and then in the fifth step, this broken glass is transported by car to a glass factory where there is a furnace in which glass and other raw materials are mixed and heated at 1200 degree C. In the seventh and final step, the melted mixture is then used to make new glass bottles in the glass factory.
Overall, it can be seen that recycling of glass bottles is a long and tedious process involving many steps.
