We have almost 5. 3 tons today 5. 3 tons is the lot and then its a lot yeah i sure feel as if we manage a lot. All the trash i collected yesterday get sorted here and one of germanys biggest sorting plants the place is gigantic around 7000 square meters dedicated to sorting plastic. To get a bit smelly in here 400 tons go through here every single day thats over 72 times as much as martin and i collected yesterday but. Right now we have a lot more material in the facility because of the coronavirus we noticed a change in Consumer Behavior we have up to 20 percent more material in the system that needs to be sorted out. With this amount of plastic most of the process is actually automated the material gets sorted by size. Huge magnets get rid of the metal and infrared scanners so the plastic by weight. But there are some things that even this modern machine cant handle. What happens to the machine now if i put these all this in very good examples the 1st one here is made of p. T. Thats wonderful to recycle but the black color makes it difficult for the machine and everyone learns in school that black doesnt reflect light thats the way it is here too especially since its transported along the black Conveyor Belt the machines simply have difficulty in recognizing which material it is the 2nd issue is the yogurt the problem here is that its different components have not been physically separated from one another so just separate the 2 and they are easier to recycle. Than up. On a. Guy. Another big problem is multilayered plastics like my cheese packaging over here they consist of up to 15 layers that cant be separated anymore the only thing that can be done trapped them and burned but that releases a lot of talk sense into the environment nevertheless 60 percent of consumer Plastic Waste is but what does that mean for the recycling rate the official number is 38 percent but that includes everything that makes it to the recycling depo even the waste that we export to other countries germany is still shipping out more than a 1000000 tons of Plastic Waste each year that makes us number 3 in the world greenpeace says many of the countries that we export to are located in Southeast Asia but it is also true that not all of this is going to landfill dump sites. To keep this from happening some companies are creating new products from recycled plastic here plastics producer pepper man in the north of germany they decided on flower pots a pretty rare phenomenon in germany only some 16 percent of all the countrys Plastic Waste is turned into new products. Using i think were definitely world champions in collecting material and maybe in processing it a little too but when it comes to turning it into a product the rig is far too low for what is already possible today is one reason for the low rates recycle plastic is more expensive up to 230. 00 euros more per tonne than virgin plastic on top of that the quality the creases the more often that gets recycled it becomes less heat resistant and tears more easily. So even with all of the salting and washing which demands a lot of energy. You can make plastic 100 percent pure again and the market for these products remains small purple months put over 3 years into this project and theyre still not turning a profit. So those hold germany as a champion recycler doesnt really pan out sure we collect a lot of plastic but only 16 percent actually get turned into new products that leaves our 84 percent which get burned or shipped to other countries to solve this plastic produces to make packaging easier to recycle use just one type of plastic for example and we consumers should cut plastic where ever we can. A very small bearing insight that one reason for the. Other costs associated with a recycling plastic wasnt plastic and thats strongly affected by the price of oil lets see how. Its already been described as an oil price for this oil price for really is no place to crash in oil prices plunged it was say all fell to less than nothing. For big oil is in trouble. In march 2020 russia with fused Oil Production triggering a price war with saudi arabia the flooded the market with oil. Right when people didnt need gasoline because they were stuck at home or is in india are said twistin the nationwide water south africas president says hell impose a nationwide looked understructure on the whole of england couple that with growing concerns over Climate Change. And its easy to see why many analysts forecast the end of the oil. Is the edge of 200 years of fossil fuel expansion the day of reckoning has come. But the oil industry is betting on another environmental device. Plastic. What it comes down to was of the oil industry as the please mrs martin and millions just like already today shes used some 87 but only a product. Is not as good. As used to make most of the worlds plastics streets fertilizers many medicines and kerosene. The 1st oil tycoons like rockefeller made their fortunes by selling kerosene gasoline was just a waste product. And was eventually replaced by the electric bulb but the industry more than offset its losses by selling fuel for the new. Horseless carriage. To these Oil Companies hope for a similar shift. With plastic. Plastics used to be a very small part of oil demand. But its consumption has been constantly rising. And the corn virus pandemic is exacerbating things trying to. Prove all of the other drivers of oil demand has started to fall away driving has been damaged by electric cars light as we discussed has been damaged by say almost the only hope left for the oil industry for growth is from plastics. The industry predicts that plastic could drive half of its future growth. But if these happens the recycling system could collapse. There have been some amazing innovations in recent years. We can produce bio plastic with plants rather than oil and we are finding new ways off for cycling need instead of extracting new fossil fuels. But their success is limited by their price. Making virgin plastic for more oil is still cheaper. And now of your Oil Industries investing in new factories that we lowered the price of virgin plastic even further. The growing threat of Climate Change could define the contours of the century more dramatically than any other but in the age of the Paris Agreement these buy could be bigger than their water can chew governments which take their parents obligations seriously must and will act to curtail the use of virgin plastic because ultimately nobody likes class the way. This simple observation could through water the planes of the oil industry industry is building huge amounts of new supply of plastic and this we think is financially stupid in the context of the war on plastics. Was here is an industry which is. Planning to double capacity and yet all across the World Consumers are saying we dont like Plastic Waste from. The wall these changes and so is the oil industry but unfortunately not in the same direction until very recently this is all just green washing and just pretending and actually the main victim of lying to us was themselves because actually as the tradition of materializes suddenly realizing that its pretty stupid to have all of your assets and all of your Capital Expenditure in the area for now plastic production still increasing. Opposition to it continues to grow new regulations could spell its the klein and that of the oil industry along with it.
