1.	1st Paragraph	-          Describe how glass container such as bottles can be produced and recycled with several steps.
2.	2nd Paragraph	-          Explain briefly about the two types of process, which are ‘Glass Production’ and ‘Glass Recycling’.
3.	3rd Paragraph	-          Explain about how ‘Glass Production’ process occurs. (Mixing, Melting, Shaping, and Storing).
4.	4th Paragraph	-          Explain about how ‘Glass Recycling’ process occurs. (Collecting, Sorting, Washing, Crushing & Melting, and Moulding).

The diagram describes how glass containers, such as bottles, are manufactured and recycled.

Overall, the Glass Production consists of four stages, beginning with ‘mixing’ process and ending up with the ‘glass containers’ process. As for the Glass Recycling, it consists of five stages, beginning with ‘collection of used glass’ and ending up with ‘moulding into new products’.

First of all, sand, soda ash, limestone, and other chemicals are mixed. Following this, the mixed materials are melted at the glass furnaced with the temperature approximately at 1500^oC. After that, the mixed materials went through shaping process in the molten glass blowing. And then, after the shaping process, they are stored in the glass containers.

The next step is the recycling process where the collection of used glass are being sorted by each of its colour. Subsequently, all of the collection of used glass are being washed to remove the impurities. Next, the collection of used glass are crushed and melted and went through moulding process into new products and it is a repeating process.
