Original Text
After that it is rolled in a thik roll, having breadth of 2.5 mm and thickness of 6 mm, it makes their task easy.
Corrected
Corrected version:
After that, it is rolled into a thick roll, with a breadth of 2.5 mm and a thickness of 6 mm, which makes the task easier.
Explanation:
A comma is needed after the introductory phrase "After that" to separate it from the rest of the sentence. "Thik" should be corrected to "thick." The phrase "it makes their task easy" is ambiguous, so it has been rephrased to "which makes the task easier."
Improved
Improved version:
The molten aluminium is expertly shaped into robust rolls, boasting a precise breadth of 2.5 mm and an ideal thickness of 6 mm, streamlining the manufacturing process and ensuring consistency.

The diagram provides an overview of the aluminium recycling process. It depicts how used cans can be recycled. The process consists of six stages in which used cans are recycled.
The chart illustrates that used cans are thrown into a dustbin, which is separate from other waste, specifically for aluminium cans. After that, they are collected by a truck that goes to a recycling factory. Then, they are thoroughly cleaned and stored. Subsequently, the process of shredding and compressing takes place.
Additionally, the shredded aluminium is heated under a large flame and melted to be molded. After that, it is rolled into a thick roll with a breadth of 2.5 mm and a thickness of 6 mm, which facilitates the subsequent steps. Then, it is given the shape of a new can that is ready to use. The cans are also labeled by the company, and liquid is filled in them.
Furthermore, the text indicates that the UK has achieved a record of recycling 74% of its cans, which is beneficial for the environment.
IMPROVED VERSION
The provided diagram provides a detailed overview of the highly efficient aluminium recycling process, illustrating the various stages involved from the initial collection of used cans to the production of new cans ready for use. Overall, the process can be divided into six distinct stages, each serving a specific purpose in ensuring the effective recycling of aluminium cans.
To begin with, used cans are segregated from other types of waste and deposited in dedicated dustbins, ensuring proper separation for recycling purposes. Once collected, these cans are transported by specialized trucks to recycling factories, where they undergo thorough cleaning to remove any impurities. Following the cleaning process, the cans are carefully stored, awaiting further processing. The subsequent stages involve shredding and compressing the cleaned cans, transforming them into small fragments for easier handling and preparation.
Next, the shredded aluminium undergoes a heating process, during which it is melted and molded into a specific shape, forming a thin sheet with a breadth of 2.5 mm and a thickness of 6 mm. This malleable sheet is then rolled to facilitate its utilization in the production of new cans, streamlining the manufacturing process. Afterwards, the newly shaped cans are labeled by the respective companies, ensuring proper identification and product information for consumers.
Finally, the cans are filled with various liquids, completing the recycling process and making them ready for distribution and use. Remarkably, the data presented in the chart indicates that the United Kingdom has achieved an impressive recycling rate of 74% for aluminium cans, showcasing the nation's commitment to environmental sustainability and resource conservation.
