It 's all back ... recycled !!!

Once paper , aluminium cans , glass and plastic are trashed in recycle bins they are taken to recycling centres . It is there that the recycling process begins .

Glass - see through recycling !!!

• Glass is separated according to colour . 
• It is then taken to a glass unit , where it is cleaned . It is crushed into a small pieces called cullet . 
•  The cullet is mixed with sand , soda ash , and limestone . This mixture is heated and turned into a liquid . 
• The liquid is poured into moulds to make new glass products such as bottles , floor ties , kitchen counters and even glassphalt for road surfaces .

Aluminium - you can ! 

• Aluminium cans are taken to a recycling plants .
• They are shredded and melted in giant furnaces .
• The melted aluminium is cooled and shaped into a block called ingot .
• The ingot is turned into sheets that are then sent to factories that makes cans , foils , furniture and more .

Paper - don't write it off !

• Paper is first sorted . It then goes to paper mill , where it is turned into pulp by running it through water and some mechanical processes . 
• Air bubbles are passed through the pulp , which help remove the ink . It is then soaked in chemicals to remove glue and other diet .
• The pulp is beaten and then fed into a machine that rolls out sheets of paper ,which are dried before they can be used . 
• The recycled paper is made into newspapers , magazines , printing paper , cardboard and toilets rolls .

Plastics - long live plastic !

• Plastics bottles are containers are sent to a facility where they are washed and checked . 
• The plastic is cut into tiny pieces that are melted into liquid in a furnance . The liquid is then turned into long strands . 
• The strands are cut into pellets , which are sent to factories to make new items 
• Recycled plastic is turned into the most imaginative products - tables , chairs , stationary and packing material .
