Okay, maybe thats a little while the to start the show, much like all the ways we find a silver lining. Hello and welcome. I saw that got the body and you are watching equal india. And today we will find out more about this plastic. I know to manage a waste that it has integrated speaking those people are always swing 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 mean these pieces this you to is coping the streets of tonight thinking of any and every these activities last week that they can find the, the part of the name, the shape of cornwall for plastic. It seems to days of in this, against lifting of caustics and educate people on the harmful effects of plastic patient liberty. When he talks about plastic noun to say yes, we shouldnt goose plastic, but nobody is ready to take the responsibility, right . This is go them. And the blow fell behind him is a take a look at himself, caustic, the key in the willing dis, connected with that their hands as amount as t specializes in creating social act work using based with aliens. His main goal has been described. Message is on environment and sustainability to his as a byproduct of one. So talk look is work for plastic. The if you live in a being the, i made an awkward cold killer with using 45001 lead to i talked about this get for this point and i needed to find as much plastic as i could let. And 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 are doing to, based on the street, we have to make sure that they also pick up the risk dont, thats not idea. And thats the walk for plastic started from the start today. Well, for plastic cars become a Global Network with over 10001 and deals from 12 different countries. Most of the plastic phase discarded on the steve. Its Plastic Packaging materials. The that end up in land, food on 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 doings w dot oceans. In 2016, the Indian Government made producers in photos and that arent doing this big of a sponsibility for this. We used through the cycling the use or the end of life disposing. Settles monday, did an action plan to be supplemented by bundling us by only 2017, but enforcing agencies like the central pollution control, the board failed to board manufactured us accountable. There 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 it. A 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 . But people keep twins last, its every view. If i just lost it from assault and fees to keep it, think, well, what i know, so got in the habit of living has not changed, even if theres a dustbin in front of some peoples eyes and 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 one plastic part of that to turn the load as efficiently 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. Im a product i. Everyone in the union doesnt frequently tanix with his 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. Others present in the call into a problem with the come on an organizer from tonight, and j cushion and put designs posters for any events that take place to watch. So there is a crew behind work, so 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 the last 8. What are you going to go ahead . Oh my, im really happy when to share my burden and travel along the same bank. I kind of, ive seen slight different come in the or the cost of 4 years. They fall close to 1500. 00 these and collected nearly 30 tons of plastic bodies. I get the at the end of every walk. Why didnt this big the plastic to any citing Collection Center the shopkeeper with the plastic that theyve collected. And since the amount dedicated to work for plastics, bank account a letter, what that is a how you want to invest in the store. Large quantities like you see here and send them in bulk data to the recycling unit for the logic profit margin. So far theyve connected me only 1. 00 like to piece which is about 31800. 00 views, and use that money to whats 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 was im going to try and starts from a single person. I will do it for the next my friends please me and does it, do you mind my Community Changes and its slowly growing in a co pay to go to the garbage, who and all the rest of the big ones that people usually when they look us right, then everybody should be in time in the town. Citizens that initiate those like well for plastic and could each people 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 of 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 was 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 it actually comes 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 reverse landfills and st. This is also a problem here in band and or maybe a bad m decided it was a problem. She could no longer ignore when shes into bio de deductible and non biodegradable companies and part of the technology to the use them 70 taking me if you are not able to design good and all of this trash goes to the nevada, to support thats of use just land in low income countries, there is a shortage of space and see the services incinerated to kind of be for use of walking the lancers. The problem we see it separates 200 tons of drying. Red raised every the meaning, volume, degradable, food and the non about the dable these loved, you know, also the way that you talk bad in savings to 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. So if anybody, anybody to send me that that, no, im safe, man. Im a happy man and they talk to you when i 1st most knew where the did. Im side. I saw a woman who was operating the Plastic Waste with defense to know at the time this because used to manually separate the waste change. There was no machine available and it will work with a table thats it. Thats going to get units. So we decided to dawn up in machine to help these people monday. So they no longer have to use their hands when handling regime in a thinking. Nicky. Uh, the price like yes, the fost, customized for local authorities and see the best thing about the prescott is nothing was the rest here or 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 the job, shadowing 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 her project foundation buys trash phones recycled 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. 00 benches and a believe. And i might as quickly, i think this will probably be 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 thought the children about please dispose of and they have known that theyve funded to is made from plastic thats being recycled. You saw by the end of the e. O, we didnt have 1010, small capacity, b, b, b, establishing new brands. And 5 steamers we have one radio, both the machines to the trashcan sale 6 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 one, mansion at a time equality. Now everyone across the world knows these brands. I mean that every wish. This one was even at 1227 last year. And when i say everywhere, i mean every with you, remember that down, but that we would actually be available. If i stick to the waste, i would find you 10 of these boxes. And under minutes, this 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 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 choose 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 we had about many of these companies also consistently ranked among the worlds of worst. Plastics, pollutants. Always something new over this place. They are the key drivers of our massive plastics. Problem of the 350000000 tons of caustic ways the well produced in 2019 only an estimate as 9 percent actually called for cycles. Much more it gets released into the environment. Pleasant oceans, soil and even the air we breathe. So we want that accompanies promised accept that Plastic Waste. Do they actually deliver take the french feed giant on, on, for example, especially 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 recycled 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 this promise by almost a decade. No mention of the previous commitment, but globally then on the water still used only 19 point. 8 percent recycle p t and 20242025. They now have to yes. Another new goal, and were committed by 2025 to use 100 percent per 2nd for all over us in europe and 50 percent. 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 cola us. 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 of us see more like marketing ploys and long term improvements. Like this campaign that belgium very unpleasant bush in this Company Behind beers like american budweiser corona, and thanks in 2017, they decided to tackle ocean plastic. 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 our own. Um, i believe one of the brands that is more connected to the Ocean Company probably announced that it had over delivered on the commitment and then organized 214. 00 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 called economy 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. West europe has this to say yes. So beach cleanups have an issue with that because of this companies are doing these beach cleanups. It says, pretending this stuff includes the, are not actually, they are the ones they are putting all these packaging materials waste and itd be just instead 0, i says the power i t should be to reduce Plastic Waste at the source, essentially need to close the fact but when we looked at what companies actually premised, we found out of almost 100. 00 searches on the 1. 00 and 5. 00 even aim to reduce the amount of plastic used in packaging. And most of those countries are still in the future. It was far more property, thats a promise that packaging will be made recyclable. But even if the packaging is recycled in theory, without infrastructure to collect and traded, it will not be recycling practice. There is a 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 the Companies Take the easy route that most of these are specifically about p t t t is used for bottles, but also for other packaging, 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 are much harder to recite the plastics likely properly, l e. P e, or h t p, or a combination of many materials for them of those sessions, cops, and rough as from the beginning. Those are notoriously hard to recycle, even if they are collected mostly on the 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 start to change some initiatives of trying to work on transparency 1st. For example, the other make off the 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 Profit Companies are, you know, hiding behind this board and take this mans and not doing the changes that they would need to get the foundation mistake, you know, they have the care of what happened is the company decides lee. What happens is the company does not want to reveal the data. They dont keep them out. So what needs to happen instead . Good question, i would say that was really the change, the behavior of many of those companies was your in legislation around the world. More and more countries are imposing restrictions on Plastic Packaging. The number of regulations on Single Use Plastics like bags. So styrofoam has exploded in the past decade. The European Union has now recently followed suit and passed some vicious 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, and its focused almost triple in the next few decades. In order to even slow this increase, the world needs much better recycling systems and strict the regulations. The data shows that voluntary commitments, im not enough. Companies only change the tactics when push 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 promises. 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 and see pictures. And i lost his high. But you know what, what, when all my pictures are even in these the order for fix to desk . 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 would still find trash out. 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 for anybody. He met at him low gas m the the 1st time he went on a short trip to a place called satan dont, dont hang up at about 2 and a half hours of hiking restarted cleaning up. In 10 minutes. I had convinced 3 or 4 of my friends to correct for the different purpose i like and go through, but i wouldnt kinda bank whats in there and everyone has dates and the initial huffing on it. Eventually people get on board and start picking up the ways they develop a sense of trying to take a look. So somebody got an out of the extensive pay dollar plan, 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 the waste directly into the rivers. These rivers are crucial to look about diversity and the equally important political communities. These days that are, those are categories, questions, trash and pollution into the heart of these mountain villages. This is the problem that should leave someone 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 fascinating interactions with the ship of community was when i asked them about their understanding of Climate Change the yeah, they had a very simple answer. 1015 years ago. They could look a moment from the sheet 3 times a year. You know, its just the ones that you have. A lot of them wont got that they might be better. But could you bear to keep this . Because then you could have value of the garage is degree with the key you to let us know for you to know because we have lots of big woods focused. Im simply saying, but its directly related to their lively. Ready deeps efforts are in the 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 world to secondary economy, it cannot be done without including the local communities or this. But also the trash we collect with a one and 2 years is brought to a Material Recovery facility where we employ local resident michael. She said, if we try to ensure that the machine to reconnect becomes a source of lively waiting for those who live here these and let us multiply healing him aaliyahs efforts. Initially, he simply wanted to clean up his village. But now he oversees the salting and recycling of waste means a lot of crash doesnt get sent to a landfill. Pradeep, so regular outreach and also in law School Children from neighboring villages. West has got back a, an apple they, they write to me that piece all your work and started doing the same on our own as long as you know, o f.
