But miss mahoney, what do you think that you talk about briggs and all these new members then controlling the oil, then controlling minerals, agriculture, geostrategic, ports and cargo lanes. What about the western lead g 7 . Lot, how do you think the g 7 feels with the bricks growing . Expanding, controlling so many assets of the one im very n and to really without. I dont think the brakes exist to oppose or to read to any any, any, any, any, any anybody. Briggs comes in because its so an opportunity that. Ready was to effect change and do things different. First let me take, youve just mentioned that i forgot to share forum, which i was privileged to attend. So what i sense that was africa streaming about the wow. Now, you know, we are at liberty to now deal with not quest to us one direction a. Twas what works for us as the continuance that has the privilege of having the wells largest out of the land and yet not foot secure to adds to this minerals. Thats not, and never really that ive never really 7th, the african interest where you have the product of the poor way. You have the vision, but its also, you know, its, its a, we dont have much, lets see how much its, its about the quantity though, isnt it partnerships based on the quality im the actual respect as that is what were seeing. So as you mohammed the ceo of the leading ladies of africa, i wish we had more time, but we fine, but the thank you so much for coming in and spoken to me at all. And so thank you so much for being the chair, right. Keep up the good work, not a to thank you very much thing. Thank you. Yeah. All right, and thank you for joining us here with us the international your program does whats on the top of the out the hello. Im a no a chan. Youre tuned into modus operandi. Theres been great fanfare made over the Green Movement out here in the west, especially in the way of trash and recycling. But are the numbers reported by the us and European Union . Really as good as a sound today will be talking trash, literally, as western states scramble to fulfill their green ambitions will impact all the garbage and find out whats really going on with all that rubbish. Talk coming from the politicians. All right, lets get into the m o the by now most of you watching this are familiar with the push to recycle. There are special been colors with special logos printed on them all over the western world. Public officials talk about net 0 or Carbon Neutral recycle. Reduce reuse. Because western landfills are packed to the gills, especially when it comes to plastics. But what theyre not telling you is that less than 10 percent of plastics that you drop into that blue bin are actually recyclable. And its not likely staying within your home country. Its been shipped off to a developing nation for them to sort out recycle if possible, and the rest. Well, thats also for that country to figure out. Meanwhile, western politicians can publicly boast about how good their policies are working. Yet in the west, germany, france, wherever around, hey, theyre delivering on promises that they made to their constituents. Right. And so here its a break down. The reality of this garbage is, my guess, worries angle rollin, im my guess is a researcher at friends of the earth. Malaysia, you can learn more about their work at s o, e dash malaysia dot org. My guess. Thank you so much for joining us. First, talk to us a little bit about the work that you and your group are doing in malaysia and why there is such a urgency to address the so called waste trade. Okay, um, im a Senior Research officer, the fence of the explanation and also the consumers, dispositional for name, the members of the Global Alliance for insight to auction. Its in short regarding gaia and also basically from plastic. So in 2017, i will organization to die, us project spots the research on the effects of the street. We were tracking the most one of the plastic meas, globally. So during that time, there was news about continuous of these left in the pots in melisha. And also a fun learning china smoked irrigation to the Website Organization that happened in 2017 and china had informed about the intention to enforce a band on the 24th types of bass, including plastic missing parts. So we anticipate the cascading problems from alicia. And we had already questions from nation goldman at that time, he tells you that melisha may become the next destination for this race. We did get a response from the department that was in charge. Seeing that it had formulated specific rules to control prospect visiting fonts and they would also enforce that stringent requirements on premises and also import licenses. However, what we find was the control measures and enforcement of approval, not adequate them based on based dumping. And im not sure mean of indigo reciting factors in many parts of melisha, especially near the c parts. Rather beast was coming to, you know, so this happened in 2018, not only in the nation, but also at the Southeast Asian countries, such as indonesia and payment communities and civil side to organizations in those countries. Types pop up highlighting the west impacts of the risk dumping out on the health and also on the enlightenment. Him um, in some of the space that could not be recycled with just dumped in the more it is in summer. But some of this will intentionally but, and yet to just, you know, because of so much of these they wanted to accommodate up in the budget. So besides the evolution blending our soil and now what the bodies were also polluted. So this was a really urgent issue to be addressed as we dont want our country to bend the brand of the street. I would say the line was not a dumping. Dont know. It seems that offshoring waste is a really big industry, much as a rubbish is coming from western nations and being sent off to still developing nations many in the asia pacific rim. What sort of impact does this have on the local population . Like health consequences, perhaps other issues that most people in the west are not aware of. And i must say the Global Production and trade, the rustic, nice going, tremendous media. Would there be some tickets . Rustic music is mostly treated under the banner of plastic disliking. But what were seeing is a beach and develop countries to actually have the capacity to manage its own waste. Shifting data sponsor beat to developing and most of the under resourced countries is really an injustice. You may call this ms. Clemmons and so what happens in the recipient countries as i mentioned, much of the plastic is a single use and also need to know the cycling value or very low reciting value. However, it is still the best thing for recycling operations, although not all of those products can be disliked as well. Well, what we saw in ready be coming into our shows were mix plastics and contamination these yeah, and this risk cannot be to psycho this. I called the central base the suggested will, these are the ones that were being dumped openly in the what it is and then intentionally but a daily basis. But the toxic fumes costs, respiratory problems and other elements to the neighboring communities. Some separate from breathing difficulties. S must skin problems and this may also lead to chronic illness. As you know, in the long run, for instance, in sort of by a, indonesia, it was reported that communities were using plastic nice, uh, which had coming in for the before we seem to feel the stalls for making the full. Which is that being said, the doubts as well as a phone in its from chickens of the neighborhood. What were seeing is the costs in button through Public Health and environment. Its far outweighs the revenue that put the, the gain from reflecting and restrict uh, another issue that i would like to share is, uh, that is also what we call cheating prospects. This come in the form of plastics, in influx of paper bills. As i mentioned, what has happened instead of buy a also plastics and electronic and electrical products. Theres also tobys wasnt home with like, funding is actually a lot of it was when things crossing us is i think materials a rubber and fi amazed. And then there is also diffuse a dude, i few this mix the base which contains about 30 to 50 percent of plastic this. Uh, another matter is the also need to consider the impacts of micro plastics. You know, this can be formed during the recycling process and it also, and so you know what, what the bodies and use of what the bodies and what we did was when we were going, uh, you know, allow is, yeah, um, the munitions pop district coordination event on our own school areas that had become dumping balanced, increase in malaysia and um, some of this with not being kid and some of it has the plastic reset. This is the visit and we found a lot of uh, micro plastics because this uh, micro plastics from like to see these. So these are some of the issues that we have to one family. Yeah. Yeah. Micro plastics are a very toxic and pervasive problem its. Its also known to cause reduction of spawn accounts in human males, even animals, and, and longer term health problems. So in 2021, there was an ecological crisis that most people didnt hear about, because it happened in the throes of the cold. It pandemic, a container ship crashed along the coast of sri lanka, spilling nearly 2000 tons of plastic pellets and nearly 10000 tons of toxic chemicals into the ocean water. Now, i know this isnt directly a result of the rubbish transfer, but i thought it worth mentioning, especially since plastic pallets are when get melted down to make other plastic goods like Water Bottles and so forth that people eventually discard into the waste trade. Can you tell us what happened with that spill . Okay, um that still happened in may 2021, the combo sheep. The name is the express full. It caught fire outside of the 3 lanka. So after the 1st wave of and pollution due to the fire, the 2nd movie for pollutants, the beach us. This once a set of last couple including millions of plastic pellets which um microsoft check mentioned just now. Uh and this i used to produce plastics. So this incident has been described as the most in the 3 months of history. Okay. Uh what was on board of the ship. Um, the 1486 shipping from in this office doors. If you want to request a slight s dangerous goods, because they contain nitric acid in caustic folder. Um the others. Uh that would be for the to contain a mixture of uh, so little funds of um boxing up to the same plastics owing and um, metals such as like income. So following the fire, the contents of the pointing is prompted to dig into the enlightenment. Um, at that time uh, dislike to fishing. Before we get to in launch, it is along the costs of uh, 3 months of hundreds of date, photos of a phone for being a show and funds and the funds of base feeding us fucking feeding the beaches. So according to the u. S. Environmental at this advisory admission in the sheep k housing 680 funds of plastic pallets. So they did a calculation approximately 0. 02 times befriended. And that equals with off me a call be instead. Lets just imagine that if im being, although they dont know exactly how much of the sentence the out, the sheer amount indicates that this is the largest screen and on the quote. Yeah. And the initial modeling suggested that the spin from it, not when you get to the 4th line. So what we also reach indonesia, melisha and the rest who even to so on. Yeah. Yeah. So, so although this mess, 16 of it is not possible to remove all defendants from the enlightenment, and these are expected to have probably teaching a fonts defensive. Yeah. And right, and let me see that the Plastic Solution is not only spinning, etc. But do, do you then transport . It is also becoming more common um, in the 6th nature of the chemicals and dips in the plastic means that the fields will have a wide range of negative effects on the enlightenment and news of to 20 to he wouldnt have to. So, so to learn more about this particular incident and to check up the publication by the International Pollutants and the munition network, i think, and the center for environmental justice, 3, alaska, and coming up next, missing the mark. The majority of European Union states will miss their Plastic Recycling goals, find out what theyre doing about it. Next, well discuss it when we return with mega squadron. Single rolling on said type the m o will be right back the the the welcome back to the m. O. Im the middle a chance. 2024 is set to be a major Election Year here in the us, but also for many in the u. Many parliamentary seats are up for grabs, so politicians are scrambling to meet their promises made or at least appear to be making inroads, especially when it comes to going green to my this, why were you sound a rolling um is from friends of the earth, malaysia. She is back with us to discuss it. Thank you for staying with us. My guess. So over in the you, a new report issued by the european commission. The summer indicates that 19 out of 27. 00 eagles states are at risk of missing their plastics. Recycling targets, their collective goal was to recycle 50 percent of their plastic waste. Now it doesnt appear that theyll get there by 2025. The you was under pressure ahead of elections next year. Its been documented that since the you set such a vicious climate and environmental goals for themselves, that they are unable to meet, that the new states surreptitiously present. How well theyre doing by simply offshoring. The waste to turkey, turkey has in fact become europes landfill, taking in some 40 percent of a you trash, according to bloomberg. What are your thoughts on that . Especially on how the politicians are misrepresenting how goods they are on environmental issues. Yes, um, uh, not really in the new houses in the u, as japan, most of the developed countries, they have a rigid into separating the risk to really psychos this many was not aware that the base was being transported overseas and was need to developing countries supports that need to be recycled . Yeah. Um, as you had mentioned in the annual has been going on with me and, and relevant to me by shipping the prospect reese to countries such as the t, which is the issue, the country and not the militia him. And that they would want taking into consideration the ends of this working conditions and also the toxic leakage to nearby communities. We find that this is extremely and just uh, the english and other countries, countries too bad the responsibility of the race, you know, in the name of treat, especially sending out ways to recruit economies that have less ability to manage. Importantly is in addition to having a on the plastic miss. Mm hm. Um, so effective Risk Management dispute is shouldnt be based on the principles of proximity. You should take responsibility of your own based. So what we have been company is for you to take that sponsors deal of the risk that the agenda, the thing. Whats happened in the october 2022. As i mentioned, we are also members of the big city from plastic movement. This movement and rethink prospect alliance strongly and well get that for the you. And as for the plastic these outside the European Union, you have to but oh, is it the countries such as the key and also law east of the countries, for example, um melisha. Melisha spelt mistreat coordination and other and use sent next us to the members in the you know, can finally been a and find the lead, the open parliament and vitamin call me see what it in fema for ben on you plastic music sports and also uh, strongest safeguarding meshes for instruct you plastic, mistreatment. Yeah. So if we do, it says um they will also she um, you know, transporting the bass to a logo uh from a country seem to be a either to be present as all a sudden uh put it in trying to reach us. Um, in uh the had a what that should, that you acknowledged how plastic with exports at the new port. And um, you know, when they can dispute exporting. So it goes up once you get a high level of plastic being produced and you know, and also being consumed. And so after the war, in january 2053, the parliament adopted its negotiating on the position for approximately are the governments on the new law duty wise you, for us, it is and also control measures for risk treatments. So we hope that all the, you know, countries in a nation seeing you was sick and consideration of the, you know, the injustice that is happening in the developing countries. Um, and in the end of this policy, additions should you know, pick con, consideration of all these issues and take this once we do off the, on these. So when, who was talking to, what did he about . How do we present this means . What do we do or what do . How do we treat it . Then . I know they with me sick, upstream meshes by stuffing. Oh me thing. The production of plastics. For decades china was actually taking in nearly half of the worlds plastic waste. Suddenly in 2018, the chinese brought an abrupt end to this practice. Much of that waste was coming from the u roughly 55000000 tons of plastics cardboard paper and so forth. It all had know where to go. The chinese cited that the mountains of trash were to what they called impure for them to continue to recycle and said that now their rules for recycling were more stringent than that of the you. Now they are only accepting certain paper trash with a total ban on plastics. What do you make of this move by china . Yeah, the china for taking this stringent action. China was supposed to burn or betty that has to go reset from other countries. That would then be psychos. So this is that to mess this and why them into pollution and Public Health impacts in the host company just processing this important plastic. Nice. So china responded to cost katrina, its by bending the partition across the risk and it focused on the collection and reflecting of plus the risk which generated from us to, to me. Yeah. But however of the china and falsely, its been new spots. But seeing how illegal treat in plastic nice had such them this listing sprint, 18 and claiming criminal groups. Ive also sought to exploit the methley market. Disruption prompted by china as decisions have been lusting. This is whats 2 countries in the southeast asia, south asia, and its been, you know, they bought the brand of this uh, moving criminal activity as a prospect this she wins from europe and not america would die with it. Our countrys m, this is also, if you know, the funded by into bought it. And how does this even go trade happen . It happens to force and declaration of the point, simon, this a, this is not fussing with. So it is um, you know, if those customers would not be inspecting this out, reese to and another thing we also saw indigo reflecting point. Once popping up, melisha
