Homework 22

The diagram outlines the process of recycling aluminium cans. First, used cans are collected from special bins and transported to a recycling facility. At the facility, the cans are cleaned, sorted, shredded, and compressed. They are then melted by heating to a high temperature. The liquid aluminium is rolled flat into sheets between 2.5-6mm thick for reuse. The sheets are made into new cans which are filled with drinks and delivered to stores for sale. The recycling process allows over 70% of aluminium cans in the UK to be reused rather than disposed of in landfills.

The diagram illustrates how aluminium cans are recycled.

First, the cans need to be taken to special collection centres


instead of being thrown away with the normal refuse. The cans are collected from here and taken to a factory where they are
first sorted and then cleaned. Next, the cans are shredded and crushed in a special machine.

The metal is then heated to a high enough temperature to allow the aluminium to melt. It is then rolled out flat to a thickness
of between 2.5mm and 6 mm, depending on what it is going to be used for. The aluminium is now ready to be recycled into
new packaging, such as drink containers. 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 aluminium cans that are sold are recycled.

The diagram presents the recycling process of aluminum. Overall, there are seven stages, starting from throwing used cans and
culminating in the reuse of them infamous brands, such as Coca Cola and Pepsi Cola.

As can be seen clearly, first, people should throw the cans that have been already used, in specific bins, for aluminum only. Secondly,
cans are collected and cleaned. After that, drink containers are sorted out, shred and then compressed. In the subsequent stage, the
compressed cans are heated at high temperatures in order to melt the aluminum.
Once they have been melted, the aluminium that is derived from the heating process is rolled out to a thickness of between 2.5 mm and 6
mm. afterwards, aluminium is ready for new use in form of recycled cans. The final step is the distribution of recycled products in
various brands. According to the picture, in the United Kingdom, 74% of drink containers are recycled.

The provided diagram illutrates how the aluminuim drinks can are recycled through various stages.

Overall, this process consists of five main stages starting from collecting cans in collection centre and
ending with the recycled new cans which are filled up with drinks and put into vendor machine to sale.

Regarding the diagram, first of all, the thrown or wasted aluminium cans are collected in a collection
centre. Then, the collection centre delivered those cans in a recycling centre with the help of vehicles for
the further process. Those cans are gathered and pressed inside it.

Following this, those pressed can are put into a recycling plant where the old aluminuim are melt down
until they become new. After that, the new aluminuim are roll in a thin layer and finally a new cans are
made up of. At last, those recycled cans are filled up with different drinks and kept into a drinks machine
for sale and the process begins again.

MODEL ANSWER:

Various stages involved in the recycling process of aluminum cans are picturized in the given diagram.

The process begins with the collection of used aluminum cans and ends with the sale of recycled cans.

The used cans are collected from various destinations. The collected used cans are then transported via logistic services to the
recycling centre. The next process is cleaning. Here, all the impurities are removed from the cans and sorted it based on the size
and measurements.

Subsequently, these cans are shred and compressed in a machine. After that, the compressed cans are heated to an appropriate
temperature and melted into liquid form. The melted aluminum is rolled into thin aluminium sheets of around 2.5 to 6 thickness
depending on the usage. These rolls are shaped into aluminium cans in factories and these recycled products are finally sold.

In the UK, almost 74% of all cans are recycled.


The diagram below shows the recycling process of aluminium cans.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make
comparisons where relevant.
