Unacceptable forms of recycling

I am sure most people are aware of some unscrupulous businessmen who are involved in diluting washing liquds, body or hair shampoos and so on, to sell at lower prices, yet making more profits. Merely diluting cleaning liquids may not cause any adverse health effects but what about drinks? Used containers are normally collected, supposedly for recycling of the plastic or glass, yet some are actually being used for refilling. Reputable companies are likely to have proper facilities to ensure hygienic conditions acceptable to health authorities' requirements. But the following pictures (not taken in Malaysia) which are being circulated in the internet are alarming:

Picking the colours to prepare the drink
Washing the bottles
More thorough washing
Arranging bottles in cases
Filling the bottles
Checking for air bubbles
Adding gas
Choosing right caps
Capping the bottles
Final 'quality control'


I wish these were pictures taken for film-making rather than for real.
