The diagram explains how recycled paper is made from old
newspapers. First, some newspaper is torn into small pieces and put
into a bowl. Then, 250 ml of water is added and it is left to soak for up
to an hour. Next, using an electric mixer, the mixture is beaten for
about 45 seconds until a pulp is formed. / an electric mixer is used to
beat the mixture for about 45 seconds until a pulp is formed. When it
is ready, the pulp is poured into a shallow tray and a further 100 ml of
water is added. It is mixed together by hand. After this, a piece of
mesh is used to carefully lift the pulp mixture out of the tray, allowing
the water to drain. / the pulp mixture is carefully lifted out of the tray
using a piece of mesh and the water is allowed to drain. Next, an old
newspaper is opened up and the pulp mixture is placed inside. / the
pulp mixture is placed inside an old newspaper. Then, a rolling pin is

The flowchart shows 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 until they form one solid block. 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 2.5 mm
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.
