People are always twain plastic. Every with that address, you see the trash pick it up and decide to do something about it. Recycle it up, cycle it or something, even more exciting. So lets go meet these people. This used to is coping the streets of tonight picking up any and every these activities last week. So they can find the part doesnt initiate the chord wall for plastic. It seems to days of in this, against lifting of caustics and educate people on the harmful effects of plastic pollution. I love it when he talks about plastic. Now to say yes, we shouldnt goose plastic, but nobody is ready to take the responsibility, right . This is got them, and the middle fall behind him is a take a look at himself. Caustic, the key in the one in disc collected with that their hands as an artist. He specializes in creating social artworks using based with aliens. His main goal has been displayed messages on environment and sustainability through his act, a byproduct of one. So its hardwood is, well its a plastic the if you live in a being the i made an aqua called killer with using 45001 lead to lot about didnt get for this point and i needed to find as much plastic as i could let up in a minute, i took plastic wrist from canals, beaches androids and the process that process was really interesting on the, on the to and i had a good littering and then 2 people dont to, based on the street. We have to make sure that they also pick up the based on thats not idea. And thats the walk for plastic started from the start today. Well for plastic has become a Global Network with over 10001 and deals from 12 different countries. Most of the plastic phase discarded on the streets is Plastic Packaging materials. The that end up in land, food or blogs, the pool of water and things that contribute to the flooding of cities during mountains. On the other hand, smaller plastics make their way through the drains w dot oceans. In 2016, the Indian Government made crude uses in photos, ends that arent doing this big of responsibility for this. We used through the cycling, the use or the end of life disposing that old mandate that an action plan to be submitted by bundling us by only 2017. But enforcing agencies like the central pollution control, the board failed to board manufactured us accountable. That has been no update on this ever since. As a result comes in was and one is a valid, these have to bear the responsibility of handling caustic waste. However, why dont you say that many people its and you dont care about that. As you know, people ask us, you dont need to do this on the government as a new key to people for this. So why are you doing it for people keep trying plastic every view. If i just lost it from assault and fees that keep between, well what i know well that was so got in the habit of the drink has not changed. Even if theres a dust been in front of some peoples eyes, you know what sustainability is for everyone, right . What we do is good for everyone, but many people dont understand that not maximum understand when it can like on. Ultimately, as one of us decided not to depend on anyone the walk the streets amy, to make change. Once last in part of that to turn the load as of recently theyve done to that head of operations german not the not back and let it go. A lot, i did get a photo positions in the back in like the design content and Data Management teams. We also collect information on upcoming the information and then well connect one. 0 hi everyone. In the union, i 73 quinn kate that makes it this team to ensure everything stays on track. Ok so so, so Data Collection over i last week, the 8 walks with a total of 28. 00. The last name joining from glen, but thought id go to anybody else who maintain a database on every walk that this happened so far. This present in the call into a problem with the come on and organize a function name and date cushion and put designs post as for any events that take place to watch. So there is a crew behind work co plastic and we never force anybody to do work to come forward with the audio. I have the scale and i can contribute to work for plastic. The. Im really happy when to share my bud doing and travel along the sag bank. I kind of, ive seen slight different come, you know, the over the course of 4 years they fall close to 1500 these and collected nearly 30 tons of plastic bodies. I get the at the end of every walk, one and goes big the plastic to any 2nd connection center. The shopkeeper weighs the plastic that theyve collected. And since the im of dedicated to work for plastics, bank account, that is a higher one in piston. They store large quantities like you see here and send them in bulk data to the recycling unit for the logic profit margin. So far connected me only 1. 00 like a piece which is about 31800. 00 views and use that money towards being the school fees of children whose parents are comfortable and see what goes nice because im my name is kevin just well the thing even for them to get a shame stats from a single person, i will do it for the next my friends please me and does what do you, my, my Community Changes and its slowly growing in a co pay to go to the garbage who and all this, but we think my wants to, to people know what im doing. It is right then everybody should be the time in the town. Citizens that initiate those. Like, well for plastic, encourage people to pay more attention to how much blasting vacancy was and how safely they discarded. Golden land steam believe that the government needs to enforce existing laws from manufacturers and invest in better ways Processing Technologies to in shop pollution for the cities and what the bodies you dont watch is the biggest problem with Waste Management and segregation. By the time the trash from our homes reaches the us, its ours down into this one big down. As a child, i will get really annoyed by how my mother that is with louise to the house. So all the ways from the kitchen would go into the comm, fullest, and everything is from newspapers to broken electronics. I never did. Austic watches were sold off to a local scrap dealer every other sunday, so much time would go into it and that would really annoy me. The only good thing that came out of this was the fuel box that the slab dealer gave. My mother will do that. Can you come to me every other sunday as a to it, but that is a woman who has taken this way. Segregation game to a whole of the 11th, and today we would meet her because she is benefiting like a lot of people along with the hard on the zone. So lets go. The Waste Management leaves cities globally with trash filing up in and streets. This is also a problem here in bank and or near dodd m decided it was a problem. She could no longer ignore when she was still an engineering student. Maybe that developed technology to segregate waste into bio de deductible and non biodegradable components and fargo technology to the use them 72nd, if you are not able to design good and all of this trash goes to the nevada this course, thats what we used to flat Income Countries theres a shortage of space and incidentally not going to be like so this is incinerated to kind of the fee for the use of walking the lances to develop other machine. It separates 200. 00 tons of dry and red raised every the meaning. Volume degradable, food and the non about the dable. These loved below or so the way that you talk bad in savings to the phone, the business trashcan in vandal. 2 years later, she employs 50 people, cool founder sort of jane gave up his job as an Economic Advisor to go into business with home to give him, if anybody knew the known safe man, im a happy man and they talked to you when i 1st knew where the downside was that i saw a woman who was operating the Plastic Waste with the hands at the end of the time this because used to manually separate the waste change. There was no machine available to any of the local. If i take, well, id say thats going to get, you know, so we decided to donate the machine to help these people money. So they know longer. How do you use this hands when handling, wait a minute, when say do nicki a sec here . The foss, customized my local authorities, and see the best thing about the bus. Com is nothing was the rest here for the rest becomes the menu or the bravest comes. It is produced like gold and made as different from nature. Best went of thats the basic principle of sorting Plastic Waste from organic waste. This gets recycled into biofuels. That gets sorted to fall mores in the region. The plastic is shredded sorted and recycled into find a job, shelving chairs and tables. The we are focusing on Certain Applications that focuses on its trying to deliver what the proof would be 100 plus in order to get this done in waco and best buy that can be the 2nd again and again and nearby is visiting the school to ours outside bank, the little thats benefited from hub project foundation buys trash phones, recycle for me to and do need to 2 schools invalid in areas. But at the appointments, anything they do differently, there were no benches and tables in the school. So the students used to sit on the floor and then we contacted them, the trashcan, and the foundation gave us 25 benches and a believe, and i might as quickly or frank dismissal probably of you. So yeah, well thats, thats why i used to sit on the floor in the classroom and always article, but now we have benches and i dont get sick even in bad readings, but minimal cover a movie. This project has also told the children about please dispose of and they have loan that they funded to is made from plastic thats being recycled. You saw my, the end of the e. O, we didnt have 1000. 00 times more capacity b, b, b, to stablish a new brands and 5 steamers. We have one radio to go to the machines to the trashcan, sales its machines in bangladesh, and they fall in the middle east. The young indian on the print, new york is helping solve the was these problem 1910 out of time. But yeah, equality. Now everyone across the world knows these brands. I mean that every wish this one was even have to go off 27 last year. And when i say everywhere, i mean every with you, remember that down to that we would actually be available. If i stick to the waste, i will find you 10 of these boxes and under minutes, this is going to be a heavy Plastic Waste across the globe, along with several other brands. And all of these brands have also been talking was becoming equal friendly and recyclable. Sustainable green, youre on the corner would. But how much of it is activity to thats find out you probably recognize at least some of these products that made by your biggest tooth manufacturers. And no matter where you live, the hots to avoid these companies all seem really concerned about the Plastic Waste. Theres a lot of plastic, pollution environment. Uncomfortable truth is that some of it has got our name on it. 8000000. 00 tons of Plastic Waste and up in the ocean each year. We are committed to enhancing the sustainability of the packaging and the business. About many of these companies also consistency ranked among the worlds of worst, plastics, pollutants, occlusal solid, something from the liver misplaced bait of the key drivers of our massive plastics. Problem of the 350000000. 00 tons of Plastic Waste of all produced in 2019 only an estimate, just 9 percent actually corporate cycles, much more it gets released into the environment, placement, oceans, soil and even the air we breathe. So we want and Companies Promise to accept that Plastic Waste, do they actually deliver take the french feed giant on, on, for example, dismissed most of the dairy products. But it is also one of the worlds because bottled Water Companies with brands including abs on my zone and indonesian oclock, back in 2009, then im promise to use 20 to 30 percent recycle p t plastic and its Water Bottles by 2011 but i failed to never know it though by 2014, that on, on the website said this, the goal is to achieve a rate of 25 percent recycle p t by 2020. So the company just delayed, as promised by almost a decade. No mention of a previous commitment, but globally then on water still used only 19 point. 8 percent recycle p t and 20242025. They now have to use another new goal and were committed by 2025 to use 100 percent per 2nd. For all over us in europe and 50 percent of them after dragging its promises out for over a decade, dunham has at least made some progress. A companies are even further away from their own commitments. Nestle only used 5 percent recycle p t in 2020 coca colas. European branch was a 9 percent. And italian sererow who promised to get to 50 percent by 2025, only started releasing any such bottles in 2021. So what about the promises that werent cheap . Some of them are genuinely positive steps, but others see more like marketing ploys than long term improvements. Like this campaign that belgium brewery implies a bush in this Company Behind beers like american budweiser corona, and thanks in 2017, they decided to tackle Ocean Plastic. They even got some famous access on board. The collaboration with highlight, i think is a very so thatd be innovative and smart. Why to take a step toward cleaning up arrow for on this, i believe one of the brands that hes more connected to the Ocean Company probably announced that it had over delivered on the commitment and organized 214 beach dance. But they were all just one time clean ups, delivering no long term protection. It also sold some sunglasses, made from recycled Ocean Plastics and then to get the success plastic that has actually been my clinic. I made a whole video about the challenges of recycling Ocean Plastic and there is a good pedal policy campaign up on the n g o 0 waste your pest this to say yes. So bitch cleanups have an issue with that because of this companies are doing these beach cleanups the same pretending this includes that they are not actually, they are the ones they are putting all these packaging materials raised as itd be just instead 0. I says the power i to should be to reduce Plastic Waste at the source, essentially need to close the fact. But when we looked at what companies actually promised, we found out of almost 100. 00 searches, only 1. 00 and 5. 00 even aimed to reduce the amount of plastic use them packaging. And most of those schedules are still in the future. It was far more property. Thats a promise of packaging would be made recyclable. But even if the packaging is recyclable, in theory, without infrastructure to collect and treated, it will not be recycling. Practice numbers are compulsive. Instead, materials might end up being incinerated, put in lentils, or even worse, left to the, to the environment, promising to use already recycled plastics like that on with his Water Bottles is a much better way of companies. Take the easy route that most of these are specifically about p t. P. C is used for portals, but also for other packaging. And even in tech styles, its also by far the easiest type of plastics to recycle. Over the past decade, more and more brands have launch bottles made sometimes entirely from recycle p t. But only 17 percent of all Plastic Packaging is made of p t. The remaining 83 percent a much hotter to recite the plastics like probably properly, l a. B, or h d p, or a combination of many materials for one of those sessions, cops and robbers from the beginning. Those are notoriously hard to recycle, even if they are collected most the only downside falls into low grade products like cheap construction materials. Meaning that Companies Often highlight the easiest material to recycle, instead of mentioning the mountains of absolutely not to a successful waste they produce around the world. So where do we stop the change . Some initiatives are trying to work on transparency 1st. For example, the other Mcarthur Foundation companies can sign up to the Global Commitment Program with the voluntary pleasures around Plastic Packaging, foundations and collects these commitments and trucks that Progress Companies are, you know, hiding behind the commitments not doing the changes that they would need to do and the foundations, this mistake, you know, they have their parents, what happened is the company decides lee, what happens is the company does not want to rebuild the data, they dont keep them out. So what needs to happen instead . Good question. I would say that whats really the change the behavior of the companys was your legislation around the world. More and more countries are imposing restrictions on Plastic Packaging. The number of regulations on Single Use Plastics like bags of styrofoam has exploded in the past decade. The European Union has now recently followed suit and passed some bushes, caustics, that just ation as well under the Single Use Plastics directive, disposable items such as plastic bags, category, and stores cannot be distributed within new markets anymore. And the directive also includes targets for recycled plastics. By 2025 p t bottles need to have at least 25 percent recycled content. And by 2030, this targets will be raised to 70 percent. And change needs to happen and it needs to happen fast. Global caustics production is still growing in its full cost, almost triple in the next few decades. In order to even slow this increase, the world needs much better recycling systems and strict regulations. The data shows that voluntary commitments, im not enough. Companies only change the tactics when pressure it through legislation, public accountability and consumer demand. And well check back in 2025 when companies have to deliver on the next set of plastics premises. Some of them will even be mandatory, at least with in the you are you a beach, boston auto mountain person . Well, i am a mountain person and he has the approve in 3 pictures. And i love to let you know what to do in all my pictures, even in these v or to 462 dash mountains flash. Yeah. Even in High Mountain peaks where i would go to make myself feel like fun, its florida and, and explore the mountains. I will still find trash. And a lot of my friends have the same story. But you know someone much like us went on a high. So all of this trash, but he didnt stop this. He decided to do something about it to give back to the mountains. Something for all the com and fees that they give all of us or anybody anywhere to them. Low gas m the, the 1st time be put on a short trip to a place called satan dont like. After about 2 and a half hours of hiking we started cleaning up the into a minute. I had convinced 34 of my friends director for the different purpose i like and go through, but i wouldnt kinda bank whats your name . Everyone has dates and the initial huffing on. And eventually people get on board and start picking up the way as they develop a sense of trying to make that look. So somebody got an out of a little expensive play dollar play, but thats not necessarily true of the millions of dollars. So come to the himalayas every year. They often set up games, but ever define clean water bodies, new flat areas, and dump them based directly into the rivers. These rivers are crucial to look at about diversity. And the equally important political communities. These days that are, those are categories, washing, trash and pollution into the heart of these mountain villages. This is the problem that should leave sun one is trying to address his organization, healing him all as big as people on hikes in the region that also involves picking up trash. He was inspired by his interactions with the people who have lived here for decades. I think one of the biggest, or the most frustrating interactions with the ship of community was when i asked them about the understanding of Climate Change the yeah, they had a very simple answer. 1015 years ago they could look at me from the sheet 3 times a year. You know, its just one second page of them. Oh got that. They might be better. But can you bear to test this is because a new could a value of the cross as degree indicate by you to let us know for you to know . Because we have lots of big woods for Climate Change just because of snowfall. Come okay, we have a lot, but for them its very simple. It seems like its directly related to their lively deeps. Efforts are aimed at changing long established behaviors among tourists and locals in the himalayas by the Tourism Industry remains largely on sustainable. T wants to go beyond cleanups and introduce locus to new ideas about the value of recycling waste, rather than simply running it. On monday, when we try our best to involve local residents and the work we do, if we want to minister will to secondary economy, it cannot be done without including the local communities all across the trash we collect with a one and 2 years is brought to a Material Recovery facility where we employ local resident michael, shes gonna try to ensure that the material to be connected to become the source of the library. For those who lived here, these and letters at the Materials Recovery facility lucas, like children, have had multiply healing, himalayas efforts. Initially, he simply wanted to clean up his visit. But now he oversees the salting and recycling of waste. Means a lot of trash doesnt get sent to a landfill.
