IELTS Writing Task 1 - Process
Cambridge IELTS 16 Test 4
Model answer

The process diagram illustrates how plastic bottles are recycled. Overall, there are nine steps starting with bottles being thrown in the trash and ending with products being made from the recycled plastic.

The first three steps involved collecting and sorting plastic. The whole process begins with plastic bottles being thrown into garbage bins. Next, garbage trucks collect these bins. Subsequently, the plastic bottles end-up in a recycling centre where they are sorted by hand into bottles that can be recycled and bottles that cannot.

The next stages focus on using the recyclable plastic. This starts with compressing the recyclable plastic bottles together. These compressed blocks are then fed into a grinder that crushes them and transfers them into a tank where they are washed. Subsequently, plastic is put into a machine that transforms them into pellets. Next, plastic pallets are heated and turned into raw material suitable for making plastic products. After this, finished products are created from the raw material. Some of these finished goods may end up being thrown out into trash cans and re-entering the recycling process
