Long welcome to eco india. To be we look at how economic progress can happen in the be and vibrant. While goober the Packaging Industry is criticized for heavily contributing to plastic pollution banning existing practices is not possible yet until a feasible and sustainable alternative is provided a belly this company is attempting to offset this problem by manufacturing 100 percent natural biodegradable and compostable packaging in tableware and providing a model to move towards a Green Economy. In light of major Health Concerns and Vice President environmental damage india has pledged to eliminate single use plastic by 2022 implementing the ban however will be difficult the countrys Plastic Industry is one of the biggest in the world. But the decision also opens the door to alternatives the green sector is now creating much needed job opportunities. Like here in this factory which makes 100 percent composite to build tableware from bio waste like sugarcane bug at. 21 year old kumari pretty found a job here when she was in desperate need or want and things have worked out well for her. Belly but i cant give up studying and i used to manage the farm in order to provide for my family but it wasnt enough after i began working here i was able to build a house for my family. Now my brother can continue to study when i needed some extra money i was able to borrow it from the company. Women like pretty make up about a 3rd of the workforce at this equal where factory it provides steady employment to Seasonal Workers in the sustainability sector equal where has it most as indias largest cream Packaging Company it was founded in 2010 by pharmacological rearm assumes our single. I had moved to delhi from the u. K. And i was absolutely shocked. Plastic people were using so freely basically you know not signing the negative Health Impact of it or the negative impact it has on the environment as well i dont think anyone really cared about what they were eating out of how they were littering where their waste ended up and i think in a country where 1300000000 people you know there was a real need for a solution so being a biomass rich nation and having new such products abroad i thought why not make in india. The company has a 120. 00 employees but for single its not just. Matter of creating jobs and eco friendly products its also about consciously making green choices throughout the process. Equally as products are delivered by amazon a service that produces huge Carbon Emissions single has taken the stance of making how companies packaging plastics 3. Way are a complete economy model so 100 percent of our revenue is derived from the circular economy so we have 0 waste process any power thats come out that you know might not be passed as finished goods is recycled so that goes back into our tanks and its fed. And then all the water again is sort of. Cleaned and re used. Worldwide over 300000000 tons of plastic are produced every year and around half the plastic is just used once in india the recent rash of Food Delivery Services has increased the demand for disposable packaging and deal where to. The Food Industry most of the telling that has been used in the food delivery in the single use plastic so these may be polystyrene. And the food items that mostly its the p. Or the people who properly so the problem with these. These sort of contamination which cannot be properly cycled thats a problem. But some establishment are taking a more socially responsible approach from the start burger armor made the decision to use eco ware boxes even though they cost more. Expensive for sure which more than it works the process. But i think we were very clear from the beginning that. Sustainability is something that we believe in the places such. Brown would be pushy rather. So the premiss of the brand. So you could call it a marketing spend for us. As customers become more of their of the amount of plastic being generated more sustainable options are bound to appear and prices are likely to drop. Now into the travel food space as well so the railways which is the Indian Railways which is you know the largest provider in the country and does over a 1000000 meals a day we developed a product that was bespoke to them and has started working with them as well. And we are off line on line. The way we see it now a single use plastic is a global problem and we want to be a Global Solution and a global brand and thats our aspiration. Like the Indian Railways food chains and hotels brands like eco where will become part of the mainstream which in turn will help india on its way to achieving its 0 plastic goal. Now with energy use created by burning fossil fuels it doesnt matter why this is done to generate power or to disintegrate industrial waste Carbon Dioxide is going to be released leading to a rise in temperature can the Greenhouse Gas be turned into a valuable resource we found a company in switzerland that says this can be done and this is good news because the country is still out of foster. White snow covered mountains and endless slopes to ski on the iconic landscape of switzerland. But the Winter Wonderland losing out fast to rising temperatures. In the past almost. 2 thirds of swiss territory was covered by snow now its only about hoff winton more often feels like spring now. Thats why close to the city at a new technology is aiming to slam the brakes on Climate Change with c o 2 collectives. Or one of these modules one. Captain tons of c o 2 from the yeah yeah ok we have 18. This is capturing 900 tons of c o 2 the man. Is a few 1000 households or about 750. 00. Missions to. The climb works connectives have only been in action for 3 years its still an Expensive Technology but its with time it will expand and become more affordable the mechanism is straightforward like vacuum cleaner the collectors to draw in the air inside heated filters then separate the c o 2 and the gases then stored. Which adds a limit thats rising. But thats not to say that is all that needs to be done so we really need to address that he would our emissions. If we if tomorrow we completely cut our emissions that would not be a not so we additionally need to as well as emissions reduction. In this case after removing the gas its just stored and sold to the greenhouse around the corner for one that weighs the carbon cycle is closed preventing. Getting into the atmosphere. Growing traditionally requires industrially produced a c o 2 to 30 plants you can hear the gas here hissing through the pipes to nourish them. Having to climb works collectors only 300 meters away is a win win situation. Thats the big bird saves runs or routes the fed also saying is fossil resources that you would need for industrial c o 2 or the people who know when earth how to lift off than him and it also connects better with clients who are increasingly asking for sustainable products these days look. Client works c o 2 costs the same as that which rules are used to buy from other suppliers but now the purified gas for his vegetarian is only the no way. 15 minutes away in the hapless men climb works the c o 2 technology is also at the heart of an operation. Researchers here are capturing c o 2 and piping it into the reactor. When this reactor we have hydrogen and Carbon Dioxide mixed there is a catalyst in the reactor and the 2. Cassis react to be called me say and water recently is the same thing as natural gas and you can do anything with it you can do with natural gas which means heating cooking and driving the car. A full tank of natural gas if this car a range of 500 kilometers all Carbon Neutral without causing additional emissions the technology is still in its infancy but its backed by different funds and Big Companies from the altar and gas sector markets friedel fields the momentum is there for switzerland to reach its climate goals. Where the hope is that we will be called the neutral as we want to be until 2050 will want to be Carbon Neutral and we should start to actually implement it. The technology. Our. Technologies new technologies are picking up speed in the fight against Global Warming they still need to become more affordable but if it all comes together there is hope the swiss mountains will keep their snow in the years to come. Sustainable energy is central to our economy and Renewable Energy resources like the some water and a lot of the govt option but they need to be streamlined to become more efficient and affordable for a startup has come up with new solutions using. And they look very different from the wind farms we were off to the. Time could help the Energy Problems of the future. It generates electricity from wind power on a level that no wind turbine can achieve. Its vision is developed the technology and scale it up to rival today is with. Small and have a long way to go. Starting. Arm connected to the truck holds and guides the kite soon it should be able to climb hundreds of meters and fly. Thats what the developers in berlin are currently working on. The big challenge is programming the computer so that it can steer the car with these cables. The generator that produces the electricity is in the truck under the cable drums. They hope it will one day replace inefficient diesel generators. Turbines are fixed to the ground. The kites will be connected to a base station and fly up to 300 meters in the air the wind is stronger and more steady at that height. Their Development Laboratory is on the campus of the Technical University of berlin. Where. The engineers started experimenting with fabric kites in 2012. When the kite goes up the rope turns the generator drum and generates electricity. Then the kite is pulled in again which consumes very little power its like a yo yo going up and down. Over all that creates a surplus of electricity. Most of their time is spent doing calculations or in the workshop. They built the kite and all the technology themselves and theyre always having to redesign and optimize. As many mistakes as possible in as short a time as possible but only once it is what we have to learn and the mistakes make us smarter and then make the product say. This is a last detail for the wingtips right to do. The wingtips are also made of carbon fiber. The material is very light and stable. But it cant withstand everything. This is for poor unlike the fabric of the structures can survive a hard landing unscathed. Theyve been working on carbon fiber kites since 27. And ive already spent over a 1000000 euros on prototypes. Once a week the developers drive down to the airfield they havent made much progress with flying yet. They often start at midnight when there is more of a steady wind. We get more flying time and it gets less stressful so we can enjoy the fruits of. The need to make the kite fully automated but the technology is not cooperating. From a bit off the bottom. After lots of tests the kite takes off steered by the cables and stabilized by a computer. Now they have to program a computer to carry out flight maneuvers autonomous lee. Trickiest phases when the kite is still really close to its base the software has to be very precise little mistakes get punished in a big way but weve been practicing for so long that its become routine. In the meantime theyve managed to get the courage to fly as high as 30 meters. And its hoped that in 2 years the kite will be producing electricity as it glides through the air above the wind turbines. Last year delhi recalled in its office in 21 years as the temperatures soar to 48 degrees socialist many wrestlers complain of a complete breakdown of their Conditioning Systems and where they did run it seem to be a double whammy a condition as themselves take up a huge amount of electricity and really is the Greenhouse Gases contributing to the rights and temperature and Architectural Firm in the city is making. By very renting the air conditioner but. The members of the Community Best are proud of their traditional art of pottery but it can only survive if they can successfully compete with cheap alternatives. And many people are still professional where i live around 500 families make all different kinds of things. Are different. Changes according to the season but whatever people order we can make it. Just. As well traditionally has been used around india for everything from holding Drinking Water to cooling hopes this heritage and the potential. Of the urban material are inspiring architects across the country mohnish city put up who runs and studio in new delhi hes going back to the basics on his quest to find cheap and Energy Efficient solutions for arbonne architecture. As a kid i always used to like breaking things putting them together or trying to make something out of it that someone translated into even in college with a spirit. I was very active member of this installation society will be used to make art installation and then like coming up with. My candidate forms and stuff because apart from architectural problems that he has to do so thats how it started with my interaction with art in a manner over the last few years money has been working on a sustainable cooling system its called a very high fuel and runs on Minimal Energy it doesnt expel heat the way modern air conditioners do it was 1st made to help workers in factories who were exposed to hot blasts of air from generator sets there are 600 employees working that area and this is 1000000000 right in the middle and in some other its really impossible to stand in front of it and even work like i mean so when we started working on the project it was speak summers and i could not withstand the heat for even 10 minutes so often we installed the final beehive that we manufactured. Be lifted for like couple of us would want to help us and then we went back to see it off to a good amount of time the system was still intact and was working the people were like really happy about it the structure is based on biomimicry with a design inspired by the hexagonal cells of a beehive it is made up around 800. 00 pots recycled water is continuously poured over the structure which evaporates and lowers the surrounding temperature. The last 15 years have seen some of the hottest summers the world over. And indias capital new delhi is no exception as the city reels under crushing heat waves every year indians who can afford it are turning to air conditioning and cooling systems. And studio displayed their latest installation at an exhibition by you in t. V. Which strives to fulfil to modern day requirements that are a quarter structure with water cools the air while the vertical garden hopes tackle air pollution. For danish kumar and his community the shift towards equal cooling has given them a fresh outlook they hope that the growing popularity of natural materials will boost their earnings and improve their prospects of carrying on the profession of their forefathers. Recycling materials instead of manufacturing new ones every time is fundamental to the success of a Green Economy but recycling doesnt have to be boring. Along design a studio uses resources that would otherwise end up in a rubbish bin like federals or the back or leaves and turns them into fancy surfaces in homes and offices. It. Could be reeds it could be. Feathers from. Anything thats incredibly humble that you have to look at with new was transformed use your imagination and transform it into you know something that hasnt been thought about before. Nature square develops ideas for new surfaces and their london studio so far theyve created over 3000. 00. The material is often waste like muscle shells. Feathers from poultry farms. And use them to develop their own creations or dream projects with other designers. Like in this luxury hotel in munich. Or the made from egg shells. Or the dashboard made from feathers for this car. The raw material is practically unrecognizable. I love watching other people reach that point. And the. Surfaces are produced in the philippines where theres a long tradition of using organic materials for art because everything is handmade square metre can end up costing around 2000 euros. Took was. People with existing. And developed to the level that they are at now. The London Design Company seymour diamond is one of natures squares clients they specialize in interior furnishing from. Company founder fiona diamond has been working with nature square for 15 years she likes their sustainable concept as well as the surfaces themselves especially because theyre made from simple materials. That shines it has. Some kind of well and then you. Really something that gives you the texture the depth of the finish. Rather than something that is quite so. Designers all over the world are working with sustainable natural materials. In germany. On a cartoon uses fish mother for her label brothel. And switzerland designer Tanya Shanker uses apple leftovers for producing handbags. Theyre all interested in a new more sustaining but it is the the skill the heritage crawl and the fact that with not so much really also getting a one off because of course you know that you never repeats itself. Using things that would otherwise be seen as waste and idea which a growing number of designers are discovering for their sustainable creations. The businesses we do and to give to it we need to be in tune with out involvement sooner rather than later i hope before why did you with this talking point pink about being told this episode well see you again next week until theyre good but.
