In. India of itself to the call of prayer and the sights and sounds of offerings to countless gods each morning. Temples and holy places brimmed with bringing fresh fruits and flowers but after they are blessed the offerings often end up on the roads or rivers outside their largely bio degradable but the sheer amount is a problem if theyre not cleared the end up clogging rivers and drains around the country and the pesticides used to grow the flowers can poison the ecosystem. The in. The north my work is a resident of mumbai who cannot hear or speak every week he works to collect around 150 kilos of flowers offered at the famous of the Vinayak Temple in mumbai. The dempo is dedicated to lord ganesha and gets more than 40000 daily visits offering speak on 2. Whose day is a holy day 200. 00 kilos of flowers are brought to the temple. Modish where separates the coconut host and other offerings from the flowers and moves the vase to a workshop in the densely populated industrial lanes until the east. At a workshop here he hands it all over to look power shake or one of the other 28 artisans who begin converting these flowers into a natural diet many come from difficult backgrounds but have found comfort in the work here. I have done or jobs and worked as a mechanic an electrician i under are leaving these jobs in just a few months and did not have a great position in my neighborhood i was. And became very depressed my friend father who used to work here and thats how i got a job here do. His part of the dying team that is able to make use of every type of flour they get fresh dry or decomposing. She prepares the fabric by heating it in a mixture of water and a bit of alum that ensures that the pigment from the flowers and helps to the fabric. Then as the fabric is laid on to the floor bettles all sprinkled over it it is then steamed and folded washed and dried. Hibiscus under. All combined to produce colors that are reminiscent of the sights sounds and fragrance of temples in the city. The designer behind the venture is more my babys true path through reading she grew up involved on the coast of the arabian sea and saw firsthand how religious offerings book clogging the citys water bodies and littering its beaches. And one of the. Ways i had seen it was authentic the nationalist of all at that time and the vanish that was getting the going to be a surgeon created the entire you know the whole belt of the seafront in front of my house well strewn with muddy gold and oil based in 20083 baby began approaching temples to attack the problem at its source vendors of even lack and in 10 minutes they said yes they save all the flowers and what do you give in return i said when we were both given a dont because i dont have anything finances that of a woman in trouble and then later they said nothing you just recycle the earth and you give us you give it to composting. By uses what was based on the temples pressed into the fabric at a workshop where the team of dealers create scarves dresses and other garments at the moment the team produces up to 50 hues and 4000 meters of hand dyed natural fabric every month they have also begun utilizing other natural based products like onions be uncommon and. The idea of recycling the idea of the scene of routine in what way can we impact the sustainability of our world that was the i. B. M. And i did it come from the environmental pollution that was happening in the c. So the impact is very small really even if it is for the for the pollution that were creating in something 15. While the fashion industry has a long way to go before it reaches true sustainability you know we do have Natural Products and berries are small steps towards it. The production effect is not always equal friendly dies from flowers gone to be used for everything for example the Leather Industry the tanning of animals uses many chemical compounds like chromium sulfate which have a detrimental effect on the environment its a threat to groundwater and in humans it cause a serious and respite tree. Theres no escaping the stench that hangs over this village dry poor and india fresh animal hides are preserved the traditional way with lots of chemicals the town has them scrape off whats left of the muscle fat and happy. Then comes the actual tanning substances like slaked linemen salt turn the animal skin into finished blood within a few hours chromium is the most commonly used chemical. Its dangerous work some of the substances can cause blindness if they come into contact with the eyes. Of those can cause rashes even cancer. Thats a big problem because the lever industry is a significant part of the Indian Economy there are about 2000 tonne a reason the country employing more than 2500000 people that makes india one of the most important letter producers in the world. The Environmental Impact is immense to process a 1000 kilograms of rawhides 500 kilogram. Of chemicals are needed and up to 50 cubic meters of waste for turkey in the late if that gets into the groundwater untreated it can contaminate Drinking Water toxins can also spread to farmers fields. The Indian Government has recognized the problem and has taken initial steps to improve the situation in recent years its forced some of the most polluting tanneries to close. Chennai is one of the hotspots of the indian Leather Industry the regulations for a hike but not all requirements are always met a German Company has come up with an eco friendly solution a natural talent agent made from all of these that used to be thrown away earlier theyre convinced that big businesses like comic a beer and designer label hugo boss will help their cause. In the olive groves of the mediterranean a quiet Industrial Revolution is underway more than 3000000. 00 tonnes of olives are harvested here every year and whats left is an enormous quantity of leaves. Rather than being burnt some of these leaves are now being sold to a German Company that cleans shreds and boil some down with water to create a viscous syrup an olive based tanning agent for leather it is even edible. Perfume olive leaves are in such plentiful supply we could currently use them in 40 percent of global leather production more than 700000000 square meters that would be 100 percent of automobile leather 100 percent of upholstered furniture and 100 percent of clothing we could switch over completely to all of tanning and even if there werent enough leaves we could always use the olive palace or the black water like the waste water from all of the oil mills didnt start to cry for. Olive leather as its known it went green is produced just like traditional level. Using whats known as a plug in system every tannery in the world could switch over to all of tanning immediately. It would spell the end of toxic by products like contaminated leather shavings. Right and we can manufacture any type of leather and terms of the Raw Materials we have everything cheap go coward. Anger rue anything we can also turn. For is a real pretty awful. Chennai on the western coast of india is one of the countrys tannery hotspots the Leather Industry is believed to be contaminating the groundwater recently the government imposed stricter regulations on the sector the Company Gemini has gone further. Its adopted the german olive based tanning agent and now only produces all of leather. More and more fashion labels demand products that contain no chemical residues. Have defeated all immersed in a lot of research and development in sheer doof. Given by our customer and also by our folks for making fast trainable the other product as your technology requires a lot of investment and cost. I put a service because here they are only 10 to 30 percent but we have believe their degree benefit does in the long run. In india gemini is a pioneer in this field producing leather clothing for big brands like hugo boss the plant based tanning agent is not only environmentally friendly it also doesnt harm the workers. Have been working here for 15 years or the things have changed considerably since the tannery went green the safety the Environmental Impact and the working conditions have changed a lot. Today india is one of the biggest textile manufacturers in the world and theres still enormous potential for growth measures to improve Environmental Impact and Occupational Safety a slowly coming to force. Eco friendly leather turning could be a huge leap forward for the industry. In germany more and more customers are choosing environmentally friendly products. Only if turned left is available in all conceivable colors but it is a little more expensive what green is confident that enough people are prepared to pay that price and that the clothing industry will respond it was initially i want the letter industry to be more open especially the fashion labels and to not just talk about sustainability or just put solar panels on their roofs they need to actively take steps toward sustainable level because it will help everyone you know well as i use. More and more tanneries in mexico brazil and india and ill switching to lever. A leap forward like this even change the lives of the people who work in india outstanding industry for the better many a time its the workers one of the forefront to bear the impact of ecological damage and organization in delhi is trying to solve problems by employing the citys waste because. The tons of flour will be used to generate it into beautiful gift items see for yourself. Here also my baby has lived her whole life next to new delhis biggest and oldest garbage dump it is a spread out across 29 years. Sometimes there were rains sometimes storms at times security guards cheered us out door to crime garbage we faced several problems living there dead dogs dead people dead babies sometimes the garbage trucks stopped coming because they went to bed on time everything was left dumped in the area that used to double up as our league round. Making. Some more babies part of the community of 400. 00 families in east belize gods youve learned. Many of whom sift through the mountain of garbage hoping to find something of value to say such as hair. Loads and even gold and silver most often it is just gloss to call gloss. The citys largest flower market just happens to be on the other side of salinas home. At the end of each day the market remains flooded with heaps of unsold flux especially because there are no cold storage facilities. 5 years ago a blonde is how much to alleviate both of these waste related problems. In the London Foundation and enjoy working in the area brought to communities verman together for an alternative livelihood project. The good many have Green Produce a company was born to make gift boxes calendars diaries and photo frames with recycled paper decorated with breast flowers and leaves. Out of the 400 families it was a challenge to good race because 2 Common People want. Them to sitting on one place for a very long time to have done discipline and that artistic sense to be able to understand what they were doing so initially there were 345 people who came and picked up so by the end of 2013 we had about 40 people who were at some level of expertise. It was a significant step forward for the community has been who had been conditioned to resigned to the fate of being lifelong waste pick which. Comes any good in them is a very i mean just the women do this work is beyond us it is beyond us so my focus. Then changed to meetings so it was now about instilling confidence and decently in insulin making. Although the mindset began to change little by little and not a problem little. To waste because used to make about 500. 00 rupees a day or 7 years now they made far less as they were paid per item created 50 rupees for a gallon of creating god forbid. In the good ones there were a lot of traction a lot of mornings when the women would then come summer when there were no or news for us then we were not able to pay the women and thats the time was the 1st challenge and the fear is that when we were not able to be in the women they obviously had to feed themselves so they dropped out so they went back and when speaking. So then we had to change thing time on. The farm in the receiver fixed bridge of up to 5000. 00 rupees per month and even have bank a comes earlier on huddle in the community all times to private funds and money from the island of foundation. The center also runs a school for their children and provides childcare facilities so that their mothers dont have to what are you while the uk modify them down people have started realising the benefits of children state when my daughter was really young i used to bring her to take it thats how i was able to book but otherwise it would have been very difficult to walk me. But dry because social change takes time so i must neighbor our jury beauty still works at the landfill for her its more profitable. Thats how the market. What does is clean hygenic work and thats what i dont have thinking waste is dirty but raised speaking earns me a more money than what im finding work would we are poor people we have 3 children that are with aging parents inlaws there are expenses to bear. It is not easy to convince. To work for the green project. Fairly new family is hard on me and they go along and their families used to not even let them come here today except for those with babies almost everyone hears spends the day at the stalls whenever they are put up and start out and they know whats out there. For them and of their work has changed their lives for the better the nylander foundation is working hard to convince no women to take part in the project its goal is to open even more centers like this in other parts of delhi and across india. Flowers and leaves which grow on land have been used for the oils big once in essence the same truth but those to grow under water in our rivers and oceans to have huge potential seaweed for example it can store large quantities of Carbon Dioxide because of which it makes sort of create fuel theres high demand for it in the field of course mix to a family in Northern Ireland is trying something delicious with it take a look. It might not look like much but seaweed is bringing a new lease of life to a small island in Northern Ireland. Both human and marine residents of ruslan island are strongly dependent on the other inflow of the ocean. Seaweed was harvested for medicinal purposes until about 50 years ago. With her company islander kelp kate burns is bringing seaweed back this time for food. She cuts the nutrient rich algae into noodles to sell to restaurants. Of course it was harvested wild what im doing is different from farming it which is more sustainable also means that we can choose which help we want to grow it means we can stagger the growing season so its kind of altogether a smarter way to do it. Seaweed meats no fertiliser and the socalled kelp forests provide habitats for fish and so more food for animals like seals and birds. Its in the nursery where the process really starts kate and her team have found a Sustainable Way to artificially begin growing the kelp sara berry prepares the reproductive areas of the kelp blades. They release spores which sarah then pours around spools where they can settle and begin to grow. She doesnt use chemicals organic feed is enough. All you know. That there they are in their own environments they will be open for a long surface like a rock so. It will if we swim with it will take them telephone thout rock on itll settle there so in the tank we have made the groove with twine on the twine has a rough surface so therefore will. Find the choice of will settle on. The spools grow small shoots over a period of around 9 weeks. Growing them in the times has the advantage that the company does not impact the islands ecosystem. But its not always plain sailing. Growing as in the tank we have had some problems from time to time weve lost. Too much as to say in the war or bacteria growing you know so when those things happen and since help us learn how to you know how to keep the water are. Capable of. Once theyve grown in the time the seaweed shoots the laid out on groups and taken into the sea a few months later its time for the team to harvest. Island to help his license 38 because of ocean space for the nutrient rich. The company was founded in 2013 by kate and her sons who grew up on the island and the last fishing family there. See wheat farming has become a way for the fishes to diversify their business. 3 years ago i learned to kelp harvest a 25 tons of kelp. Today they managed to harvest about 40 tons a year to meet the growing demand. Now its time to clean mcalpin turn it into something more appealing its sold to restaurants and wholesalers in the u. K. And elsewhere in europe theyre going to turn. This. Into these noodles for a long time see wheat has been a staple of asian food kate is trying to also bring it to european plates one of the Biggest Challenges for cult farming is the fact that the dollars require licensees space which is exclusive what would be great in the future would be to say kelp farms or raw and for example ocean wind farms you know why not start to combine nazi infrastructure and not kind of multiuse why but you know thats thats maybe my dream. But it would be good to see you know people that think an outside the box. See wheat farming is heavily reliant on the weather and work can be unpredictable but there will always be some time for kate sarah and the rest of the team to run locks. For the 1st few years its been a lot of trial and error but despite all that the future looks bright for kalak. The future a new pride would be considered refocusing reusing and recycling our limited resources i hope you had many takeaways from todays show be back next week with yet another interesting episode until then from rainy one by good buy. Going to. Be. Fixed. To a. Market. More to more of. Your business magazine. Germany on d w. I dont think that.
