Welcome to equal india im solid that are cool to be we look at how economic progress can happen in 200 b. N. Bobert. While goober the Packaging Industry is criticised for heavily contributing to plastic pollution banning existing practices is not possible yet until a feasible and sustainable alternative is provided a Delhi Based Company is attempting to offset this problem by manufacturing 100 percent natural biodegradable and composed of all packaging and 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 countries 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 by gas. 21 year old kumari pretty found a job here when she was in desperate need of one and things have worked out well for her. Talent but i can say i gave 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 and now my brother can continue to study when i needed some extra money i was able to borrow it from the company men. Women like pretty make up about a 3rd of the workforce of the equal where factory it provides steady employment to Seasonal Workers in the sustainability sector eco aware has emerged as indias largest cream Packaging Company it was founded in 2010 by pharmacological rearm assume their single. I had moved to delhi from the u. K. And i was absolutely shocked at the amount of plastic people were using so freely basically you know not understanding 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 use such products abroad i thought why not make an india. Company has a 120. 00 employees but for single its not just a matter of creating jobs and eco friendly products its also about consciously making green choices throughout the process. As products are delivered by amazon a service that produces huge Carbon Emissions single has taken the step of making her companys packaging plastic free. Worry are a complete. 100 percent of our revenues derived from the circular economy so we have 0 waste process any power thats come out that you know might not be processed 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 300000000 tonnes of plastic are produced every year and a half the plastic is just used. In india the reason drugs before Delivery Services have increased the demand for disposable packaging and. Most of the has been used in the. Single use plastic. Cutlery and the. Food items that comes mostly he or the people he probably so the problem with these cutlery is like after these sort of contamination which cannot be properly cycle thats a problem. But some establishments are taking a more socially responsible approach from the start burger are made the decision to use eco ware boxes even though they cost more. Expensive for sure i mean its more than just the price of product but i think we were very clear from the beginning that. Sustainability is something that we believe in the places such as the near the. End of the day our brand would be perceived of the customer when he gets delivered to his door so the premiss of the brand of the product all came out with those of the packaging that we use so also in a way that you could call it a marketing spend for us but i think. As customers become more of their of the amount of plastic we use being generated more sustainable options are bound to appear and prices are likely to drop. We now into the travel food space as well so the railways which is the Indian Railways which is you know the largest meal 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 even tell a little bit offline online. But the way we see it now is single use plastic is a global problem and we want to be a Global Solution and a global brand and thats our aspiration. With customers like the Indian Railways food chains and hotels translate equal where will become part of the mainstream which in turn will help india on its way to achieving its ambitious 0 plus to gold. You know when energies created by blending fossil fuels it doesnt matter why this is done to generate or to disintegrate industrial waste gobbling dioxide is going to be released leading to a rise in temperature again 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 snorri foster and. 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 wintons 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 collected. One of these modules one. Captain. From the yeah yeah ok we have a team here to collect this so this is 900. 70 and. It is a few 1000 pounds. Or about 700. 00 for. The climb works collectors have only been in action for 3 years its still an Expensive Technology but its thought with time it will expand and become more affordable the mechanism is straightforward like vacuum cleaner the collectors draw in the air inside heated filters then separate the c o 2 and the gases then stored. Tried to limit thats rising. But thats not to say that. We dont so we really need to address that he would use our emissions if we if tomorrow we completely cut our emissions that would not be enough so we additionally need to as well as emissions reduction. In this case after removing the gas its stored and sold to the greenhouse around the corner for one that way the carbon cycle is closed preventing more Carbon Dioxide getting into the atmosphere. Indoor growing traditionally requires industrially produced a c o 2 to 30 lives plants you can hear the gas here hissing through the pipes to nourish them. Having to climb works collectors only 300 metres away is a win win situation. Though it saves runs all routes the fed also saying is fossil resources that you would need for industrial c o 2. When earth. Could also connect better with clients who are increasingly asking for sustainable products these days. Climb 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 vegeta is only the no way. 15 minutes away in the hapless mill climb works. Is also at the heart of an operation that researches here are capturing c o 2 and piping it into the reactor. In this reactor we have hydrogen and Carbon Dioxide mixed there is a catalyst in the reactor and the. Cassis react to be called resay and walked all the same 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. A full tank of natural gas gives 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 sectors 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 and the technology is all there and they are already competitive in comparison to conventional 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 cover in the years to come. Sustainable energy is central to increase economy and Renewable Energy resources like the some water and vivid account of the go option but they need to be streamlined to become more efficient and affordable for a balloon based startup has come up with new Solutions Using binde energy and they look very different from the wind farms we know off to be. This kind could help sound the Energy Problems of the future. It generates electricity from wind power on a level that no wind turbine can achieve. The. Vision is to develop the technology and scale it up to rival todays wind turbines. Starting small and have a long way to go. Always starting at. A telescopic arm connected to the truck holds in guides the kite soon it should be able to climb hundreds of metres 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 kite 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 coyotes 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. That as it is the last details for the wingtips right. The wingtips are also made of carbon fiber. The material is very light and stable. But it cant withstand everything. Unlike the fabric wings of the structures can survive a hard landing unscathed or so. Theyve been working on carbon fiber kite 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 the computer to carry out all flight maneuvers autonomous lee. Trickiest phase is when the kite is still really close to its base the software has to be very precise a 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 barely recorded it. In 21 years as the temperatures soar to degree so she has many wrestlers complained of a complete breakdown of their Conditioning Systems and where they did run it seemed to be a double whammy conditioners themselves take up a huge amount of electricity and really is the Greenhouse Gases contributing to the drives and temperature and Architectural Firm in the city is making ruling cleaner by being renting the air conditioner with. The members of the community invest early 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 he 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. Cities. Who runs an 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. And thats what translated into even in college. I was very active member of this installation society would be used to make art installation and then like coming up with. My candidate forms and stuff because apart from architectural problems of struggle so that i would started with my interaction with art in a manner over the last few years more niche has been working on a sustainable cooling system its called the high fouda 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 one believe that right in the middle and in some ways 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 you in 10 minutes so often we installed the final be high that we manufactured. We lifted for like couple of us would want to use and then we went back to see it off 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 the design inspired by the hexagonal cells of a beehive it is made of around 800. 00 parts recycled water is continuously poured over the structure which evaporates and was 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 n. T. P. Which strives to fulfil to modern day requirements that are. Structure with water. While the vertical garden hopes to air pollution. For danish kumar and his community the shift. 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 could otherwise end up in a rubbish bin like federals. And donts them into fancy surfaces in homes and offices. Says. Anything thats incredibly humble that you have to look at with you on transform use your imagination and transform it into you know something that hasnt been thought about before. Nature square develops ideas for new services and their london studio so far theyve created over 3000. 00. Raw material is often waste like muscle shells or feathers from poultry farms. And use them to develop their own creations or joint projects with other designers. In this luxury hotel. Or the made from eggshells. Or the dashboard made from feathers for the. The raw material is practically unrecognizable. What other people reach that. Looks like what is it 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 crossed skills and we developed the lead to the level that they are at now which is a level that nobody else. All. The London Design Company seymour diamond is one of natures squares clients they specialize in interior furnishing for mega Yachts 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 somebody will immediately think in luxury is something that shines it has some sparkle its something that shows some kind of well and then youve got more of the organic luxury which is really something that gives you the texture the depth of the finish maybe the last of the subtlety of the shell rather than something that is quite so obvious. Today designers all over the world are working with sustainable natural materials. In germany. Uses fish leather for her label. And switzerland designer Tanya Schenker uses apple leftovers for producing handbags. All interested in a new more sustainable concept of luxury. Luxury is not just the rarity of something but it is the skill the heritage and the fact that with not getting a one off because of course you know they never repeats itself. Using things that would otherwise be seen as waste an old idea which a growing number of designers are discovering for their sustainable creations.
