health and ecosystem. while mission seek a global cure, we meet people on eco india to be who are implementing remedies on their own. hello, welcome. i'm some of that. a plastic is one of the most practical materials on the planet. the problem is that it's not valued as a resource and far too much of it ends up polluting the environment. this is particularly true of a type called multi layer plastic. it's under reputation for being laundry cycle, but. but as our next report shows where there's a will, there's a weight ah, ah, upon the gang is working on a typical immune hand. but it is not so dreadfully sorry that is on her spindle. she is reading a strips of plastic into fabric. she works at eager, curry, social, and present food and the trans women from disadvantage background to op, cycled single use plastic me godaddy guy. before i joined equal godaddy, i had no idea that we could make things from plastic potato chip bags. i was so learned that they had to be cutting a certain v to bd wednesday night in would be my last the worst come from all over india work and segregate and wash it before cutting it into strips to handcraft fabric that is used for items like bags, cushion covers and blunders since it was founded in 2020, the company's team of 25 has up cycle close to 2000000 plastic bags. eco cardi works with a specific type of refused, multi layered plastic or m l. b. in addition to plastic m b includes layers of other materials like paper and mattel, that's on it, a reputation as an un recyclable material. y m l fees. i'm ordering this i believe because they are paid for fall is in a plastic. and each and every man has different mo, mailing points. so, ah, in the traditional we offer recycling, they put it, i may state ando, make the granules out of everybody else. but with this kind of plastic, you can not do it because of aluminum foil and everything as unmarried at that same point. i'm of these are widely used by manufacturer was of ready to eat foods, toiletries and pharmaceutical products. they're lightweight, easy to cross boat and cheap to produce in india and the account for some 50 percent of plastic pollution. simply about a growth has been collecting plastic and the garbage in tune the since you were the child with speakers in india and have long faced economic exploitation and socialist digney and buena though there is a growing recognition of their contribution to waste management in 2008 the union and the city deemed up with the grass roots organization swatch cooperative. to build a network of 4000 west biggers, most of them in the segregate waste for 2 thirds of boone as households. sauce has also partnered with id. see, one of indiana's largest conglomerates and develop a program to incentivize the collection of multi layered blasting, but buying vis, refused directly from best workers and channeling it into recycling. the idea is that this is a material that previously brought nor value to waste because and would end up polluting the city or end up in the landfill. or through this project, we are able to actually create a market value using support from the project or to buy this kind of waste from waste. because in doing so, we are able to not only pick up the plastic oh, that's causing a problem for waste management, but we're also able to pass on that benefit directly through the way because of when your city so far, the project has diverted around 1000 metric tons of emerald be away from landfill? that's more than 200000000 packets of chips. where speakers monthly earnings have increased due. now that they have buyers for emily be rubbers now we can sell all the plastic rappers and not just a selection japanese from biscuits. it's jessica jet ne parcel packaging everything the he did the this factory my roster says it's a myth that multi layer plastics can be recycled. the material accounts for 40 percent of the race that has been processed here or the past 50 years. actually m l p, how to play make out about i can gather is yet what caused dear auntie lot of people doing emily processing because it is costly and lengthy process mailing from an m l. p based reaches us after it has been compressed into way and that was v blake. up the bales, grind the rappers and then washed them. oh so wash, then they are combined into a mass and put through the exclusion blood voluminous deer converted into grammy. i'd rather die estrogen plan won't visit that big alice gave for me. when i got this gun. once the aml beast processed, it can be used to make not just fabric, but items like benches, dustbins and even diamonds. but i will be recycling as a labor intensive process that also uses a lot of water and power. most of the emily be waste that is collected still ends up and landfills or get in from the rated, which adds to the air pollution. india is still a long way from facing out multi layered blasting, but initiatives like thought and he could gaudy a, creating a path for positive change. hey, sandy depot posting dry shouldn't or know you tend to something useful. crash that might otherwise be eaten by goals and make them sick. it also means there's less rubbish laying around that omelette, my narcotic tongue. look, i live then the my delegates like joe, i'm going to conquer their people, have started treating us better, good that they know now that be workforce. what i should put on there with that we do a good job. we segregate waste and recycling properly. my for that, it's like we have a new identity now. look, i this, people see us differently. what sort of thing? i think i and i go for jim or what conk ivy. assigning role you to magnolia bloss to diffuse helped improve the lives of this because in tune and as hon. grove, beavers like up on our congress show recycling emerald b has the potential to benefit us on over the past 2 decades. the amount of plastic produced in the world has more than doubled the result, nearly $300000000.00 tons of plastic waste every year. the thought is on for green alternatives. our reporter discovered 2 natural ingredients that could help curb or hunger for plastic. we all know plastic is convenient, durable, and everywhere. and at the same time, plastic killers, marine life contributes to global warming and poses health risks. but what if we could use all natural materials like mushrooms seaweed, or would to cure ourselves of our addiction to plastic? what are the alternatives out there, and why aren't they everywhere? we start working with sewage as an uncharged material and to try to, oh yeah. basically, deduct arranger from solutions that are completely by the gridable natural. and sometimes even edible peer pathway is the co founder of not le, a start up that uses see we'd to replace plastic packaging. she was always a good candidate for us because it grows very fast. some of the sued that we use can grow up to one meter per day, and in terms of and the flight, it's been around 400000000 years. so nature has no problem dealing with, it's anywhere it ends up in the environment. and that happens a lot with plastic. 40 percent of plastic produced is for packaging. in 2018, just 13.6 percent of plastic containers and packaging were recycled. to counter this, no plot have developed little sashes for sauces or drinks made from algae. so you can eat them along with our contents. ringback eva, sir, not consumed, and are thrown away, not la claims, they will bite a grade in 4 to 6 weeks. to make these vanishing sashes, not quite dries and grinds up, brown, c, we'd a special machine then turns the powder into a membrane that can be filled and finally sealed. ah, the firm also makes a special coding for take away containers. usually they're coded with plastic to grease proof them, but that makes them hard to recycle and also makes them non biodegradable not so solution however, is made from you guessed it, see we'd, which means of the boxes should palm post and $29.00 days plus solution to a growing problem, seeing that a recent study found food containers to be among the 10 most common items polluting the sea. but seaweed is not the only promising material out there. another rapidly growing substance and a favorite of a little italian plumber, the mushroom or to be exact. my celia, my celia mar, the roots of mushrooms that form an underground network called high fe. if treated right, they can be turned into a form that is a sustainable al trinity to polystyrene, all natural and completely by degradable. how on earth you turned mushrooms into packaging material you asked? well, you put organic waste products like straw into a mold and mix them with mushroom spores. in the space of a week the my seal young will feed on the waist and grow into the empty space. the resulting my sylium foam is then removed and tried to prevent the spores from growing further. it's water and flame resistant, lightweight, and actually stronger than traditional polystyrene. deann birby is the c e o of grown bio, a dutch company that produces my celia packaging. 35 years ago, roughly to out or small and medium companies, reduce the environmental footprint of their packaging. and i, somewhere i found the term mushroom packaging, which brought me to, we created young's company is the licensee of eco vate, of design, the inventor of the material, one of the 1st companies to adopt my ceiling packaging was hardware manufacturer, dell for selected shipments. others looking to foster a green image like lush, have since jumped on the bandwagon using it for a limited edition gift pack. the 1st drawback, though, is that it's way more expensive than polystyrene grow and bio didn't disclose any prices. but one study estimated the cost of my seal young could be around $3.00 per pound compared to $0.04 for styrofoam. the 2nd problem, it's hard to scale up production. the packaging grows in these containers for 5 days and takes up a lot of space. while doing so. i kia announced its use of my ceiling packaging and 2020 only to abandon it a year later. because of the lack of scale ability on an industrial level, it's certainly not yet at the level of styrofoam. and even if it would be possible to make it at the same cost, then you still need to scale up enormously, which just takes time to build all those factories. iq of 8 of recently received a $60000000.00 investment, so they can scale up their production and potentially lower costs. the big question is whether it will become cheap enough to truly compete with polystyrene on a large scale. there are alternatives to plastic out there. and yes, big and, and plastic waste, the bricks made from recycled material are stable and good insulators bridgewater, designing. so today, there was a goof oh, in between rebellion allowed heat from outside to get in. and also being tended to produce the machine that breaks down and melts. the plastic, the bricks are made from old melted plastic mixed with sand. under pressure and extreme heat. a paste is formed from which the bricks will then be pressed. his facility can produce $25.00 bricks like this per hour. about one 3rd of each brick is recycled plastic. so i'm so excited that i can use one problem down to plastic with problem that is affecting the well and then use that simple them to solve housing problem in ghana. and there's another benefit compared to concrete, plastic bricks or climate friendly building material. some and production is responsible for about 8 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. for many ghanaians, cement and steel buildings, signify prosperity and success. but nelson watch, ang knows, than affordable housing remains. a major problem in accra his house big plastic bridge is about one 3rd cheaper than a comparable concrete house, some construction contractors, c building with plastic bricks as a chance for people to have access to their own homes. so it is, it is, bruce was coming now to help us reduce the cost of a production o cost of burden, then we should go for it now. so that's alice low encompass and concrete assess recommendation. so why do you have to wait? because the plastic is already polluting the alarm is there youtube videos have helped spread the word about plastic bricks. in accra they've received orders for 20 houses. with each dwelling requiring $3000.00 plastic bricks. they have their work cut out for them. the problem is love enough, oh, equipment and space to preach to meet the customer. so we are still in this struggle stage to meet the customer because people like to put that on ted, because it's cheaper. and the durability knows. and what tang hopes that state and private sector collaboration will help him scale up production and play a bigger role than gunners. recycling revolution. the cream colored sounds of cocoa beach on bali head, turn the indonesian island into a tourist magnet. but in recent years, visitors have arrived to find the shore of wash in plastic. local activists have taken the clean up into their own hands and off tackling the problem at its source inland. barley is drowning in beast. together with local residents, members of environmental protection organizations. so gay watch are dreading mountains of plastic out of the islands waterways. yeah, the initiator was launched by french man, gary, been shaggy, who's lived on barley for over 10 years. he's been active in environmental protection since then and set up some guy watch in 2019. now he has 55 fellow campaigners as well as local helpers who started make a change or 11 years ago, picking up our, our beaches on bali, but very quickly saw that 90 percent of plastics in the ocean are coming from rivers and streams for wider waterways the team use floating booms sunday watch has installed 120 of them over the last 2 years. throughout valley, they've hauled almost $400000.00 killers of trash out of its rivers and streams in that dying plastic that would otherwise have flowed out to the sea. several endures . startups and similar initiatives are active throughout indonesia. they are trying to compensate for the lack of functional waste management systems outside the country's big cities, rivers in body. unfortunately, i've also become garbage dumps in it is no initiative on the island that is protecting them. so, you know, that's where we saw jap. if we want to stop plastic condition in the ocean, we need to stop it in the rivers. the river warriors, as they call themselves, saw the plastic leaves together with local helper. some of it can be sold and they're also working on ways to recycle it. with some of the, you know, more long term solutions that we're exploring is what if we turned, you know, a bottle like this? or let's say, you know, even bottle chops or straws, or some of this, actually, the recollecting, are we going into the actual solutions? they could brick. and so that's long term solution. we're still doing r and d to test out what is the potential the best solution that exists. the also catalog the wrist. where does it come from? what does plastic trash consists of exactly. over half of it origin needs with big name brands. first and foremost, done on followed by vin sawyer and or on to our other global corporations like unilever and coca cola joined the top 10 of plastic, reese producers here and we're just starting some of the conversation with some of the bigger corporates that wanna find cleanups and i think that if we're able to have a dialogue with some of the people that are wrapping the plastic, then we're able to make a lot more change. and then really start a conversation about how to use better sustainable packaging in the 1st place. after china, indonesia is the 2nd largest ocean polluter that's putting pressure on the government to act, especially with daughters them being one of the country's prime sources of foreign revenues. leaders in jakarta are bumping public money into an increasing number of these kinds of initiatives and small companies. and they want to have 70 percent of the country's trash properly processed by 2025 according to their website. so they want see that also wants to see every stream and river cleaned up by then is residence companies and the state worked together. all of indonesia could soon be as clean as it is here. from flip flops to sneakers. a footwear is filled with plastics. in the rest will adopt greener practices. some brands have begun incorporating recycled materials such as marine plastic and indian student on a quest to produce a sustainable pair of sneakers found all he needed among the bags and bottles. headed for the dumps in delhi. ashley bobbers doing what he likes to do best designing sneakers. but these are no ordinary trainers. they're made mainly from recycled plastic bags. it's a project that came about was part of his undergraduate degree working on a lot of different design ideas and recycling plastic bags with one of them. because i recently heard about the ban on plastic bags in india. but i found out that it's harder leaving in force. i don't. so i thought that you know, something needs to be done. we've gone, always rely on the government for our solutions. so bob, i contacted a waste disposal company near delhi, tons of trash arrive here on the employees sorta the plastic bags. the next step is to clean the bags and cut them to size and then it's shipped out to actual factory and jell under coordinators, footwear and the assembled the fabric and all the other components into the final issue. making sure itself is not very different from making regular leather show. still making the shoe out of plastic took some getting used to, especially since not only the shoes themselves are made from recycled material. the laces are also made from plastic bottles and the souls from you to razors. the effort is now paying off worldwide. yarboro, stephanie, our biggest market. you know, it is a market that's more wild to, you know, such ideas. people are more willing to pay extra higher costs for a product that's more sustainable or more environmentally friendly. his shoes cost $909.00. the 1st batch of $1600.00 pairs is already almost sold out. he's currently working on a new design. once again, the sneakers will be made entirely from recycled materials, which sets the shoes apart from their far better known rivals. lot of dying runs are getting, i'll be of it. having about $10.00 to $20.00 person recycle content and there fabrics, which is not a lot at all. and we're not doing that. we're doing 100 posts in the psycho fabrics . i think if we can do it, i'm sure you know other brands that are much bigger can do it for sure. until then i shall bother wishes to continue to lead by example. it's a sobering fact that 91 percent of all plastic produced in the world has not been recycled. our society is have been conditioned to using plastic but little by little. we can unload our habit of reaching for that blasting bag or a floor of a plastic cup or a take out container. every small action comes, i'll leave you with that thought and see you again next week from our entire team in india and germany. good bye, and thanks for watching. ah, [000:00:00;00] ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, with who hello cuz on the loose again in sardinia, a huge swarm has overrun. i'm so north our tom, money of hard work destroyed and we just a few hours. the pharma is desperately looking for ways to deal with the locus. one unfold. focus on europe. in 30 minutes on d, w. enter the conflict zone with tim sebastian forest johnson counting his final days of british, sorry, minister in his grace, but still in office. my guest this week in london is from malcolm rick, it himself both he found calling secretary. so what happened now to all the former ministers of the officials who indulged jump booster is in the po, food for the tory party came out conflicts on in 90 minutes. on d w. oh, come mike speaking, how can miss national hatred of a people be explained?
