Here is an illustration representing recycling in the production line, in the image you can see scrap and rubbish being imputed into the machine and a product(bottles) coming out the otherside. I choice this illustration because I feel it is clear and is a very good representation of recycling within the production line.

Book: The Iron Man

 

The Book the The Iron Man is about a huge robot that needs parts of metal or spare or even scrap. A boy saves the robot after luring him into a trap and takes the robot to a junkyard where the robot can feast on the spare parts and junk metal. The robot essentially eats the metal an scrap pieces as food sothey don't rust and waste away.

My artist that uses Mechanical and scarp parts in their projects is Terrence Willment, He isn't that famous for his work but he has created some fantastic sculptures using scrap parts and junk. Terrence Willment uses mainly abandoned cars and uses their parts to create his sculptures and sells his sculpture's in show room like events. He mainly works with manufactures in Thailand. My favourite sculpture of is his would be the alien created from scarp parts, I like this sculpture because of the detail and size of it and it is identical to the alien we see in the movie "Aliens" here is an image of the alien sculpture.
