How Glass is Recycled- Explanation!

In class we have been learning how to write explanation texts. We watched the video on our blog about recycling glass, we made notes and then used them to create some explanations. See if you can spot our time connectives and our introductory sentences.

How Recycled Glass Is Made

I am going to tell you how recycled glass is made.

Firstly the glass is collected on kurb sides, in bins or in recycling banks.

Secondly the glass is taken to your local recycling depot.

Next it is screened for corks and bottle tops and then crushed into cullet.

Then it is taken to a another company that mixes the cullet with silicate sodium carbonate calcium carbonate and it is heated in a furnace at 1000F. 

Finally it is moulded or blown into a bottle shape. Then it is taken to factories to get filled .

How Smashing Glass is Recycled 

I am going to explain to you how glass is recycled. Glass  can be endlessly recycled. To start with it is collected in bags,bins, kerb-side boxes and more. Secondly it goes to a depot where it is separated in colour. After that it  goes to a reprocessing company where it is screened and lids are removed. Next it is crushed, then it is sent to a new company where it gets boiled to 1000 degrees!!!!!!  It gets mixed with sand and other liquids. Next it gets moulded into a glass bottle. Finally it gets filled up and goes to the shops and the cycle starts all over again.
