Wish. And its not just us even because i dont noise. The 14, the, each of them choke on them and then they die. Ok, maybe thats a little do more of it to start the show. Much like all the ways we find a silver lining. Hello and welcome. Ive saw that got the body annual watching equal india. And today we will find out more about this plastic on up to manage a waste that it has integrated speaking those people are always twice last week. Every with that out us, 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 here to is coping the streets of tonight thinking of any and every these activities last week that they can find the part of an initiative quite well for plastic. It seems 2 days of in this, against lifting of plastics and educate people on the harmful effects of plastic pollution. The you talked about plastic noun to say yes, we shouldnt goose plastic, but nobody is ready to take the responsibility. Right . And this is go them. And the blow fell behind him is a take a look at himself, caustic, the key in the one and dis connected with that their hands as an act is key, specializes in creating social act works using based with aliens whose main goal has been displayed. Messages on environment and sustainability to his act, a byproduct of one. So talk look, is work for plastic the delivery libido. I made an aqua called killer, is using 45001 liter, walked about to get for this point, 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 2 and i had a good littering and then 2 people dont to, based on this please, we have to make sure that they all to pick up to this dont, thats not idea. And thats the walk for plastic started when the time today was the plastic has become a Global Network with over 10001 and deals from 12 different countries. Most of the plastic phase discarded on the steve is Plastic Packaging materials. The that end up in land food, unplugged 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 producers in photos and burn donors, big this possibility for this waste through the cycling through use or the end of life disposing. Little monday did 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. There has been no update on this ever since. As a result comes in was im one of the valid these have to bear the responsibility of handling caustic waste. However, why dont you say that many people its and they dont care about it. As you know, people ask us, you dont need to do this on the government and well keep it cheaper for this. So why are you doing it . But people keep trying plastic every view if i just lost it from assault and fees that keep between well what it, what so got in the habit of living has not changed, even if theres a dustbin 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 the maximum one to send when it come back on ultimate is one of us, decided not to depend on anyone the walk the streets amy, to make change, once lost in the parking lot, to turn the load as efficiently, they dont that, that had of operations driven nothing. And im not gonna 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 one of the union. I, i know southern frequently that makes it this team to ensure everything stays on track. Ok so so, so Data Collection over last week, the 8 walks with a total of 28. 00, k g last name joining from glen. But thought id go to anybody else who maintained the data based 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 a cushion and put designs post as for any events that take place to watch. So there is a crew behind work, so prospect and we never force anybody to work on the comfortable what, but the oddity or i have the scale and i can contribute to work for the last day. And what im gonna go ahead im, im really happy. Im going to share my burden and travel along a sec bank. I kind of a field, slight different. Come, you know, the over the course of 4 years before it goes to 1500 these and collected nearly 30 tons of plastic bodies. I get the at the end of every walk while induced big the plastic to any citing collection center. The shopkeeper weighs the plastic that theyve collected. And since the amount dedicated to work for Plastics Bank account, the letter was it is a higher one and distance. 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 theyve collected me only 1. 00 like a piece which is about 31800. 00 views and use that money to whats being the school fees of children whose parents are comfortable with the workers based because im my name is kevin just well the thing i wasnt going to change starts from a single person, i will do it for the next my friends please me and does. 2 my Community Changes and its slowly growing, and it will pay to go to the garbage. Sure. And all of this, but we think my wants to, to people know what im doing it because right then everybody should be in time. And if its out citizen that initiate those like well for plastic and could each people pay more attention to how much blasting they can see what and how safely they discarded. Golden land steam believe that the government needs to enforce existing laws for 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. And even plastic boxes 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 Waste Segregation game to a whole of the 11th. And today we wouldnt meet her because she is benefiting like a lot of people along with the hard on the zone for lets go. The Waste Management leaves these globally with trash filing up in reverse landfills and streets. This is also a problem here in bangalore. Near dodd m d was still an engineering student, maybe that developed technology to segregate waste into biodegradable and non biodegradable complements and part of the technology to the use them the 70 taking me if you are not able to design good and all of this trash goes to the loudest, this, thats a least of land in low income countries. There is a shortage of space and still not going to be like so this is incinerated to kind of be for use of walking the lances. The problem was she, it separates 200. 00 tons of drying, red raised every, the meaning, volume, degradable, food and the non about movies. Love dealer, 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 to the family. But anyway, the announcement from a half payment and they took the 1st month new with the dump site. I saw a woman who was supplementing the Plastic Waste with defense to 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 kind of get units. So we decided to donate the machine to help these people money, so they no longer have to use that hands when handling wait a minute. When do nicky uh the price like yes, the fost customize my local authorities and see the best thing about the price call is nothing was the rest here. Whatever, but it becomes to menu for the davis comes it does produce like golden maid is different from natures best went of thats the basic principle of sorting Plastic Waste from organic waste. This gets recycled into biofuels that gets sorted to farmers in the region. The plastic is shredded sorted and recycled into find the job, shadowing chairs and tables. We are focusing on Certain Applications that focuses on its trying to. This isnt what the proof would be. 100 plus and water proof. This done in waco and best buy could, can be recycled 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 needs it to schools invalid in areas. But they have 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 or by dismissal probably of yeah. So yeah, well thats, thats what 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 the funding to is made from plastic thats being recycled. You saw my, the end of the e. O, we didnt have 1010 small capacity, b, b, b, establishing new grants in 5 states. We have one radio, the machines to the trashcan sales, 6 machines in bangladesh. In the 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 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 least, i would find you 10 of these boxes and under minutes, this going to be heavy to pronounce big waste across the globe, along with several other brands. And all of these brands have also been talking with becoming equal friendly and recyclable, sustainable green. Youre on the corner woods, 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. And the 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 we had about many of these companies also consistently ranked among the worlds of worst. Plastics, pollutants, the corpus always something new of this place. They are the key drivers of our massive plastics. Problem of the 350000000 tons of caustic waste of all produced in 2019 only an estimate. Just 9 percent. Actually corporate cycles. Much more gets released into the environment. Pleasant oceans, soil and even the air we breathe. So we want that companies promised accept the 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 area 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 waters still used only 19. 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 organized 214. 00 beach dance. But they were all just one time clean up, delivering no long term protection. It also sold some sunglasses, made from recycled Ocean Plastics and then did you have the success . Plastic that has actually been my clinic. I made a whole video about the challenges for cycling 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 the same pretending they are the self includes that they are not actually, they are the ones they are putting all these packaging materials raised at the beaches and said 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 schedules are still in the future. It was far more property that you promised that packaging would be made recyclable. But even if the packaging is recycled in theory without infrastructure to collect and treated, it will not be recycling practice. There is a compulsive instead, materials might end up being incinerated, put in lentils, or even was 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 as soon as 12 bottles, 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 launched bottles made sometimes entirely from recycle p t. But only 17 percent of all testing packaging is made of p t. The remaining 83 percent a much harder to recycle plastics like fully properly l e. P e, or h t p, or a combination of many materials in one of those sessions cops and wrap us from the beginning. Those are notoriously hard to recycle, even if they are collected mostly 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 or 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 Products Companies are, you know, hiding behind this warranty commitments. And not just doing the changes that they would need to get the foundation. This is a stick, 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 that. So what needs to happen instead . Good question. I would say that was really the change, the behavior of this company. It 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. So styrofoam has exploded in the past decade. The European Union has now recently followed suit and passed some bushes, caustics just ation as well. Kind of a Single Use Plastics directive disposable items such as plastic bags, calorie and stores cannot be distributed within new markets anymore. And the directive also includes targets for recycled plastics. By 2025 p t portals 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 forecast 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 promises. Some of them will even be mandatory, at least within the u. I. U, a beach, boston auto mountain person. Well, im 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 or even in these v you or to for 6 to desk, mountains flash. Yeah. Even in High Mountain peaks where i would go to make myself feel like fun explorer in and explore the mountains, i would still find trash. And a lot of my friends have the same story. But you know someone much like us went on a hike. 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 to 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 the 34 of my friends director for the different purpose i like and go through, but i wouldnt kinda bank with them and it was on his 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 sort of like an out of the extensive pay dollar play up. 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 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 sun one is trying to address his organization, healing him all as big as people on heights and 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 them over from the sheath 3 times. A year, you know, its just one second page of them all got that they might be buried about can you bear to keep costs . This is 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 for Climate Change just because of snowfall. Come ok, we have a lot but for them or its a very simple thing, but its directly related to their lively deeps. Efforts are in the changing long established behaviors among tourists and locals into himalayas by the Tourism Industry remains largely on sustainable. He wants to go beyond cleanups and introduce locals to new ideas about the value of recycling waste. Rather than simply binding it, im not able to read, try our best to involve local residents and the work we do. If we want to administer worlds of 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 the Material Recovery facility or re employee local residential. She said, if we try to ensure that the materials be collect, become the source of labor for those who lived here, these are minors at the materials, the Company Facility lucas, like children, have had multiply healing and my last efforts, initially, he simply wanted to clean up his village but now he oversees the sorting and recycling of waste means a lot of trash doesnt get sent to a landfill. Pradeep, so regular outreach, also in law School Children from neighboring villages. West has got back a, an apple, they write to me that piece all your work and started doing the same on our own as long as you know, efforts have grown to such an extent that it makes me happy to see that because sustained a Movement Without being nice to model, but it is like you make a coastal can be onto your social media to spread the word forget. Many people are writing to us taking component there. What i guess when they start with housings of people are now helping and do the damage to the himalayas. Healing and my layers is spreading. The idea that being the tourist here in the mountains means leaving them in a better state. Then they found the plastic in my trash can in my streets, everyone in my life, even in my vacation spot.
