A major source of waste and environmental degradation. You know, vsl strap, what should be really start every new project from scratch. Join us as we explore the question on equal yeah, to the hello welcome. Im son that i bills demolish, repeat. Its a cycle that generates mountains of debris around the world, debris that ends up in landfills, a was in the environment. That material actually harbor great recycling potential. India in reuse is only a me go one was sent off with construction and demolition wrist. Our reporter hid the streets of delhi to find out why ah, the 100 meter high super tech towers in night, a city reduced to rubble in less than 10 seconds. This video is from the Guardian Newspapers online site. Ah, 3700 kilos of explosives were used to demolish 850 apartments. The Supreme Court ordered the destruction after ruling that the towers had been constructed illegally. The resulting 80000 tons of construction waste are now being dealt with by re sustainability. Its one of the few construction and demolition Waste Recycling plans in Indias National capital region. The center, recycled 800 tons of raised here in stay there. Thank you. Remembered our 30 for our day to mitigate. Wed been commissioned by the Noise Authority to process 28000 tons of waste from the twin tower, demolitions assigned a victory of their brothers government. Rothko actor processing aggregate. Technically we will sell the aggregates in tile form on the open market. Were gonna go market, nobody to fill out. These wont be turned into new apartment like in a proper circular economy, but they can be used for building roads and foot bots. Every day. Several trucks transport trouble from the demolish and site to the recycling center. The rubble includes concrete, see men as felt bored and plotting. First, the wooden plastic are separated out by hand. Then the machines move in. This is our vibrator screen. After the material gets crushed, this machine segregates the materials based on their sizes like 51030. 40 millimeters in the construction sector, generates around 150000000. 00 tons of waste each year. Yet, just one percent of it is processed and used with disastrous consequences for the environment up me. And im going to say in, in the end, the bills on very often through either go on order or when it is probably before off through evolution. The 2nd going into the impact it has on increasing the disaster effect. All climate lot of this is very often done. Been rolling. It is in floodplain. What this does is that water is set up the usual channel. Oh, what do i prison and that it increases the the severity of blood of psycho and often just under a 3rd of the solid waste produced in indias urban areas comes from the construction, industrial building and demolish and raised like this is often dumped illegally. Thats what this group of volunteers is looking for on a walk about. So deli maralie neighborhood, the hindi ward for such waste is melbourne. I feel walking along the battery. Theres a lot on my lot at holland is from the modem. Project photograph the bias of fleece and send the images to the parties to request its bravo disposal. The city both 200. 00 collection points and 5 recycling centers for such waste. All these sites are marked on a digital map created by the mulberry. Theyre marked with blue and green points to the record. And in the end, we have the Illegal Dumping points for mobile. And these were what the residents were sent to are. So they would click photos of money by which was made them outside their house. We told people that if you see illegally in your neighborhood, please report it to us so that we can put it on the map so that at least we can take it to the m c. D and make a very strong case that here this needs to be cleaned up and then it is up to the Municipal Corporation of delhi, the em city to take care of it. Back in 2016, the federal environment ministry, such raised money be collected and crosses em city as introduce fines for Illegal Dumping for residence and non residence. It also offers financial incentives to encourage recycling whenever anybody can sell the house. So we ever started digging charges for the management of the c n d. And the condition that if you will give me the receipt that we send this the weights to the facility, then we will return that money and is a huge money. Not very small money. When can they think even then the out out for you can see that sex is, is very worth. Although there are 100. 00 collection points spread across the whole city. Most Construction Companies take the easier route and dump illegally. The employ informal risk collectors to do their dirty work at night to avoid being seen the risky work is barely even recompensed. Their business minded people, they want to save money. I want to make money. Theyre making that ends meet and Illegal Dumping does not make it can all make sense for them. They were the other sell their bar to someone who would you it for leg backfiling only when theyre not able to find on that placed or dumped is then out of desperation because they have to do a certain number of trips per day. Ah, you know, to, to meet their financial attire, get to break even. There is still no end to end demolition collection and Transportation System for construction Waste Recycling, cure yet. Thats essential for a proper circular economy. Theres a long road ahead. And so the mulberry project volunteers look certain to have their work cut out for a good while yet from the outset, most New Buildings are not conceived with sustainability in might. Now that im growing calls for the Construction Industry to adopt a more soft eula model. And to take its cue from nature where theres no such thing as with these german buildings dont only look modern, but they might also pave the way to a circular future. Theyre built according to the cradle to cradle concept. The idea is to replace our cradle to grave economy, where we take making waste, with a circular one, with a products are designed in a way that its materials can be reused over and over again. Normal Sophie Griffon is the founder of the cradle to cradle lab. Its an indio dedicated to spreading circular, regenerative Design Thinking across industries. Politicians and designers welcome to their crater to cradle out. You can come in here. We start here. You see like from the lamps that you can see it from a Mushroom Material totally for biological cycles. According to the concept. No, it was or fi griffons. Father michel brown got and his colleague william mcdonner, created everything we built must go to either what they call the biological cycle or the technical cycle. That means the materials used to build the product, need to decompose, thus becoming nutrients for the soil or dismantled to become what they call technical nutrients and re used in other products with. So in here, right, you can see a lot of products that are already produced in a cradle to create a manner. This flooring you can see if i move, i can actually take it with me. Pretty cool that you dont need to do this. It is made out from the packing material, losing as an a credit crate. Not the best idea to do that because quite difficult to disassemble. The lab uses these carpets that are totally made of recycled fibers and not glued. And you can bring it back to the company and they can recycle it and make it totally new. Carpet out of logos of grief on argues that there are a lot of natural alternatives to most of our commonly used toxic products. This material is quite interesting because its like a material that you cannot just take from the inclusive and you dont need actually to change it a lot. So called dump tune balls are basically dead sea grass that could be collected on shores and used as a high quality insulation. Material on these examples seem perfect and relatively easy to implement. But we need to change the way we have built our homes and priorities for the past decades. 50 years ago, we knew that there are negative environmental consequences if we have certain building habits. So in the beginning be had felt that we require new knowledges to be able to build appropriately. But right now we have a different problem. Professor Arnold Palmer condo is an Award Winning architect, mostly known for her sustainable projects. Like these ones. When standardization is being imposed, then the must have the courage to question the limits of standardization. And the construction sector is especially standardized and rigorously conservative. Some practices havent changed in centuries. Take concrete, for example. Its the 2nd most used material in the world, only after water. If it was a country, it would have been the worlds 3rd largest carbon polluter. After china and the u. S. Last year, we produced 4400000000 metric tons of concrete. According to the u. Ns projections at this rate, we would be producing enough concrete to build the entire city of paris every week for the next 40 years. So that is a lot of concrete. And for several reasons, this material is not widely recycled. A big one is standardized, bad practices says marcel oser, a circular engineer focused on cradle to greater applications in the construction sector. If you use a jay, lester, all concrete uncomfortable is why looks good, so it will fit the purpose. I will use the quality of the concrete by not being able to use it later. So, gypsum plaster makes the concrete on recyclable. But a similar looking silicon based plaster doesnt affect the re usability of the concrete. Or lets look at steel, a universally used material in construction that could have an infinite lifecycle. Just a simple decision to use bolted connections rather than welded joints will allow the structure to be dismantled, making it easier to reuse the materials. Its all about designing smarter. While these individual solutions are amazingly easy to implement, unfortunately, they alone will not be enough to make the construction sector, environmentally friendly, says, nor will so, fee grief on though we need the market. We need that politicians and we need this as haiti to go for these ideas. And i think we are already in a state where our society sees that we need to do something different. So crated to crater can shown this in the smiths house. This is actually possible. Cradle to cradle is not a miraculous idea. Its just a guide for us to think and build and cycles just like nature does. When it comes to prestige projects. Developers like to start with a clean slate. But if a single new structure already impacts the environment, the construction of an entire city is a whole different dimension. Indonesia is pushing ahead with an ambitious plan, relocate of capital from flood prone to carter. I reporter wanted to move. Is that when a good oh, home to over 10000000 people, indonesia, capital jakarta has a problem. City is sinking by around 25. 00 centimeters every year. Some scientists predict that the metropolis will be completely submerged by 2050 blue. Thats why the government is creating a new capital from scratch. Do centera is being built on the nearby island of borneo futuristic looking buildings covered by Renewable Energy or no under construction. In implementation is so poor or rather than being a model city for thought is aged out, its going to be a distress. The idea of moving the capital was 1st proposed in the 1980s during the c harter dictatorship. But it was only in 2019 that president jo, cool with dough to approve the 33000000000. 00 construction of a new capital on the east coast of borneo. It was the capital is not just a symbol boil or just the nations identity, but also the representation of the nations progress to me that this is for Economic Justice inequality. For the vision of an advanced indonesia. Yeah. My to with the move, the president wants to boost development and regions that have been economically left behind. Ah said tara, which will be roughly twice the size of new york city, will cover over 2500 square kilometers. In the province of east cali Mountain Area is currently covered in eucalyptus plantations. The government says no protected forests will be touched. According to the plan newson tighter will be green, hyper connected digital utopia in the middle of a lush landscape, it will be fueled entirely by renewable sources of highly accessible public transportation, and 75 percent of it will be covered in green space. Its a massive undertaking. Indonesia has shy away from expressing is hunger for one life station and industrialization. It has been taking a very many approach to achieving dream of it from here to the high income country. More than half of indonesia, g d, p comes from java island, where jakarta is located. Experts say that moving the capitol is just part of a bigger development strategy, which is to jumpstart, to green industrial economy and the cali mountain part of indonesia. This is why several dams are being built. The government is constructing 5 hydropower stations on the river. Chaos to speed up industrialization. North of new and tara president with dodo is planning the worlds biggest green industrial park. Indonesia also has the largest nichol deposits in the world and raw material that the booming e car industry urgently needs the new capital as part of a Wider Development plan. But there is the price to pay. The move will displace indigenous people, make up 20 percent of indonesia population. At least 20000 people from 21. Indigenous scripts are at risk. Property prices are already surging in nearby bolick python and indigenous residents are angry and bring the roles from jakarta. But these rules dont fit here. We are being offered just a fraction per square meter of the price of land in new capital area. What if we sell . Where can we buy land again . Anywhere around here is impossible. They are slowly driving us out. A mika bar new is also home to many endangered species, including the pr boscus monkey barney and gibbon. And soon doub hangal in the barney and rang a town in particular has faced a huge decrease in population and will be severely affected by the construction work. The base will be like a consultation gate to the capital area, right . If the watergate, e, and on the same time it is where all of those products that species are there, east cali mountain is rapidly losing its forest to Industries Like palm oil and logging. Also disappearing our mon grooves, and pete lens, which are important carbon sinks. Scientists are worried about the impact of the indirect carbon, an ecological footprint which could extend 200 kilometers from the center. Local industries such as fishing that the pen and the mongrel forests are also at risk of being displaced. That america, i hope once it gets crowded, that the people benefit there will be more jobs for us and that locals can work in the new capital with listen, taras green plans look great on paper, but there are problems looming. Kevin lewis actually sitting on the handle of co. Oh for of indonesia is 5 biggest cool plants are in east cali mountain. Much of the energy for building the capital will come from here, which could mean disastrous pollution. Its uncertain how the new capital can be emission free by 2045. Was planned for talking about a beauty queen city in the address. Yeah. Michelle, from us, russia materials as well. Only 11. 5 of indonesia, National Energy is renewable. Solar and wind power are planned for new san tara, but no one knows exactly how it will be implemented. Everything is i also sent many comes to this and ive not even really. Ready quite natural to consider the resources they have like this hydropower and they hope a month to power the city. The construction of new centera has only just begun and is expected to take another 20 years. But the scorecard for cities built from scratch is patchy. Brazils capital brazilian ended up notoriously segregated me in mars. Ne p dog is mostly a ghost city and in nigeria, a boucher lack of Affordable Housing created slums. And so thats only far a political agenda. Its not going to work. A good city is if a city is an inclusive and and that is a lie and there is a song in that city until then jakarta will continue to sink. The metropolis remains the capital and Economic Center of aneesha. Its hard to imagine that this will change any time soon for what good home look like. That reuse resources are rely sodden on materials that are readily available. We met an indian architect who strives to cut consumption by embracing such materials as an asset and got a house store in delhi. Ah, the new daily skyline is a mixture of modern skyscrapers, and energy intensive, poorly designed constructions. Carbon emissions from buildings are often neglected from the climate debate, but in india, buildings alone are said to contribute to 40 percent of Energy Related carbon emissions. Ocoee, daphne london, paval has been designing sustainable function of buildings for over 20 years. He says the need is now urgent, but there are still a lot of misconceptions about what Green Building design really means. The big gift meant is that people believe that it can in home is one that has a lot of green plants you put in a lot of plans, lawn and glass. It becomes green, which is not so in the Green Building is actually green because it respects nature and it kind of uses the replenish double sources early sources and that it uses via stage and it uses consumption and me the cycle. A lot of my ideas, who, one above all designs in new delhi, is famous for being in the us. First 5 star rated green home called green one. The home has been certified by research and policy organization. The energy and resources institute. Large windows provide lots of natural light, while Double Glazing a relatively new feature in india, insulate the building, keeping it cool in, in dell hot summers. New of i worked with green, one owner, prashant thought i come on to make his home sustainable. One important factor for going green was sourcing local materials. The house also generates Renewable Energy and harvest strain water to day it is able to capture 75 percent of its water demand and can also save up to 40 percent of its power. At the moment, india has around 1400000. 00 modern homes that are built with the green concept, which constitutes less than 5 percent of all residential properties. However, this statistic excludes the countless temporary homes. And those bits by hand is rural india. Traditional homes that are often green in their own right. We are always inspired by history has to be studied because historically, what people have built naturally, it is known that they are the best structures. And what we do is we can temporized it a bit so that we can use the same materials, but in a more contemporary way using modern technology so that it is relevant so that its easier to maintain it to be move out of innovated, his own house, in the year 2000, he was inspired by the traditional methods of reusing and building based on the environment. I used all of the broken pages that came out from the toilets. So all that were broken and used in the form of a pattern. And since a lot of them are light color days, it reflect a lot of heat as well. More people can now afford the initial investment, and more indians are getting conscious about the impact of their choices on the environment. They strongly feel that sustainability has to start from home and you have to adopt a sustainable life stay before you want to nibble and Green Building. So i think the consciousness has come in and we have been receiving a lot of calls from client saying that let us simply fire our homes. Let us keep more open areas lead to reduce the beta area thats going for more green major. Lets go and plant more trees because they help in, you know, taking care of pollution as well as the link between no choice and the environment becomes clearer. Architects like move all hope this need will only continue to grow who riveting the building and living in green holes may not be possible for each one of us immediately. But every single step towards sustainability gulf. Dont forget that and tell us how you are going green on eco india a d w dot com until next week. Good bye. And thanks for watching. Ah, [000 00 00;00] with ah, ah, with who a little march. 20. Havent seen sight of crime. A museum. 3 men climb over, train tracks to the border.
