i'm sorry, one second, let me just finish this. hello and welcome. i'm sorry with everybody i'm, you're watching equaling this. most of us do what i just did with that. we simply throw things away when we're done using the, the comp and or shot or the use factory like we can do or you don't. that's all that's find out how upside thing is a key concept. like when we think of upside is clothing. we don't really think of anything too fancy. so today let's meet the woman who's done this motion on his head. she is a fashion designer who's making ways where loose and trending. you know, wide web is actually generates more than 92000000 tons of fixed. i waste each year . ideas like this could really make a difference. my

name's sky, summer tiny khan and um okay, i'm just gonna sound again. my name's kind of special on econ and i'm from india. i'm the found to say that akasha, we will not rate in index tires and high level and we do a lot of upside. the i was stored by someone in lifetime you because it's an intelligent boy and it was that he philosophy at oxford and do something, things were doing life. why are you studying fashion? and just doesn't know what to do with option for me is we'd be more than just the thought. i think we ran into the way it talks about the way i would as a country, as well as the world and where we may go i would be lying. if i said i always wanted to be or fashioned, as i know, i wanted to be so needed. some things i wanted to feel like and was supposed to buy it and i feel it just. i wanted to be a veterinarian, all sorts of things. but somewhere along the way i had a book which my father said,

has it been weiss and dropped it off on the movies and i would like descriptions of one thing. well, i'm not going to do so my father that i want to be a fashion designer. i'm sorry, that was refreshing. the okay. was standing there like they were talking about the recycling of psyche sustainability. so i don't know live on to so interesting, but when i what about uh oh my god. no one is upside doing what is it a site like at home loan? i went to anything i can get a bunch of papers together and we can just create this new product. why not being wastewater? why same people kind of t y are not throwing things into the college? can the,

i think the hardest part of starting the is, this is all, it is just starting. i like being like, i'm going to just do this. i saw this on like my dads body can. and then i move to my mom's office 15 to saying they need to go larger, 5 defensive to thousands of another space. we had other issues likely be the only thing that goes on. how would resource everything, how is coming here, all the hiring people, like, how do you find the right person to get on board the a it's a funny thing. what yeah, definitely lucky able to sort of fashion a 1000000 fashion makes complete sense. i mean, and then assumes that when was open, it would be somewhere. so from that point of view into, i mean in fashion is, looks vaudeville. if it go down, you will still be able to mix that you are the producers of fashion. i mean,

so to sometimes pick them just do and believe you takes a bit of time, especially when you're like a 20 to 22 people send this young out of college. let's do this on. definitely people who could, you know, we've and show you what you're doing. oh, just like positive princess on the side of business. i actually got timing. i mean i with us to that now. i mean, isn't even going to feel is because i don't even want to hi. so for me that was one time and i realize it actually when i, once i would tell you people, i would expect different things from the i think gosh, i would just about making something that's not going to hurt anyone. we don't say it was sustainable lives unless what we're doing is we're saying that let's just think good. let's not please say, let's not explaining we. let's make part of that

a good for downloading it. let's say for docs back to making it always get on screen plays, let's say for the last for a long time the when i say they put it on me thinking and talking about the children's education like that to me is very, very hard for me. all when i see them talking, wonder why is now going to walk like that and they say, and i said we're doing something correct, wendy. like i said, all these things are so important in pollution the in the i think that if we just stop being wash, if he's of the need to do that job now i need didn't just use was because they were trans. i can also statement is a big feeling, backing searching is quite like, i mean, through evening me such

a wide brands like osh, are changing things up, you know, great way it's wednesday is a lot more than the fuss of small labels to address the problem of 6, i was only one percent of the deal with 6 sided waste is actually the cycle and this is a huge problem for using this, but that, or is that is a nuisance that will sooner or later gas visas of the fashion industry, roughly 10 percent of a global carbon emissions stand from the text on industry. it's also incredibly resource intensive. guzzling up some 90000000000 cubic meters of water annually. that's 4 percent of global fresh water usage unload and water goes into producing all case, almost always diesel. but he does go through heavy heavy, the chemical processes to make them the way they are today. whether it's finishing, whether it's dying, priyanka,

qana collaborates with brands and produces to foster sustainable innovation and fashion, which is why it is mostly not even the nation, but does andre di biodegradable. and it takes sometimes over 200 years for these materials to buy it as a degrade in the industrial. and that's a big problem because we produce a lot of textile waste. in the us, tex always has grown 80 percent since the year 2000. rachel, keep even stuck in a services great, which supports industry and government and reaching sustainability goals is our fastest growing waste stream. we send over 30, a 1000000000 pounds of tech styles to landfill every year in the us alone. most of our old clothes and in landfill, what doesn't, is frequently bend unsold stock and donated old closing a frequently shipped to the global south for resale, such as here in a crowd, county with 40 percent of what arrives is actually considered trash the us. and so

the 600000000 key, those have used clothing abroad every year, largely to the rest of the americans. while you are a big sports, i have a one and a half 1000000000 kilos. much of it to african. often it is dumped, bend offloads, oceans, and waterways. text on waste isn't just old. well won't have. it also includes accessed stock and the scraps generated during production. less than one percent of this material. that's the spot going today. which means all of this is going somewhere. when we collect close there, primarily going to be sorted for reuse. that's the highest value. so some of those clothes may be down cycled and so insulation, some may be sold as wiper rags, and then a small portion can be mechanically recycled. but mechanical recycling has its limitations. in 2020 full mechanical recycling is the best option. we have close of

chops up and spun into a new 5. it's, it's way back to the landfills but also involves a drop in quantity. and it's read that such materials can be recycled again. but, but could soon change, there are a bunch of exciting new recycling companies posting new technology and hoping to tailor up in the future for tech style waste. firstly, those chemical recycling tech styles of broken down to the molecular level and then be built into various materials. while some companies only recycle caution australia is blocked, techs can recycle blended material chemically. so breaking since that takes polyester from natural costs and 5 is polyester is converted into pellets which can be used for, textiles, orders, materials, and construction. well, cotton, cellulose is turned into clay that us uses in textiles, agriculture and even packaging. the flexibility is intentional,

i would never want to be beholden from my outtakes just to one brand, because i know how badly those those brands can behave. patriot and jones co founded blog techs in 2018. we prefer low techs to have that takes, that can be useful to many robs and just be useful to want. i think that's been a real difference for us in the industry. everybody's is preoccupied with making more textiles locked text recently announced it will expand capacity to $10000.00 tons a year. refresh, global invalid also emphasizes flexibility to you back to your breakdown and sanitize textile waste. creating 3 role materials. nano settlers eval on sanitized tex, phone. pope 3 refresh cables. pub is these materials i used to make anything ranging from furniture to bite frames, to fml based cosmetics refresh. global is

a relatively new company plans to develop a network at smaller facilities that can be developed quickly and flexibly with partners. that's quite different to sweden's renew, so one of the world's biggest chemical textile recyclers. it was among the fist to build an industrial scale tech style recycling facility. here, cotton textiles a shredded into a slurry, separated from contaminants and dried into sheets of what they call secular, circular settlers, which can replace the 2 materials like cotton oil would in the production of new high quality textiles. going down the molecular level helps maintain quality. i'm a new cell says it's stuck you. those can be recycled. 7 times. there are limits. the new sol can know you recycle waste. this 95 percent of costs or no pura meaning a lot of what goes to a landfill, isn't eligible for new spells recycling clothes opened in 2022 with capacity to

recycle 60000 tons annually written to expands to 820000. but in february 2020 full came the shock. the company filed for bankruptcy just days before and renew sell told the w. they were recycling fall below capacity. and fashion brands were hesitant to commit to recycle materials. we could be producing a lot more. tricia carries the chief commercial officer, knew so many of the brands have goals, search for circularity or reduction traceability waterfalls. uh, you know, variety. so its, we are a solution to their goals. it's how quickly do they want to be able to achieve those renew cell partnered with levi's to recycle production waste and include stuck, you know, send their products h and then became a shareholder in 2017. but still, the punk didn't make a profit, and it's 1st. yeah,

it has been something that has shoak. most of us work in us has been a relative fix task. theresa dominic reset to sustainability management and t c. l . universities. existing business models in which most of fashion brands are messed if they don't really have 40 initiatives night when you sell the did really while do differentiate be able to make a while recycling cuts, reliance on both the hungry kaufman and oil based and tactics. it's more expensive, it would take some 7000000000 year rates to scale out. please cycling to hit 20 percent of text. i'll wasted your by 2013. there isn't enough push from the legislation side to force the industry to actually adopt these materials. so not the investigation required for thing, but if it's going to be more expensive material, if it's a transition with the houses of the supplies, the thing in nature,

with all the brands, they decided across the board, it really does is a function of inflammation. so have them having access to everything, which is not easily done onto legislation, usually takes it over. the u. s. monday is that by 2025 member countries begin collecting checks don't waste separately, just like they do with paper. plastic dos, which should improve on the $0.22. waste is currently separated during proposed legislation in the u. s. e. u, as in some modeling a little requiring produces to pay for the processing of that checks the waste. we have to ensure that these laws don't just charge the producers for one portion of that puzzle. like just collection. it has to also facilitate the infrastructure for both reuse and recycling and the innovation around that right now, recycling isn't profitable, stays active,

could also set the tone by adopting tockets themselves. but us to be successful. as a result of that, we have to have committee that takes and that's where government and private enterprise has a role to apply in saying government, the ticket is very large procures of products. meanwhile, swedish recycling renew, so has phone to buy a private equity investor also has full top that companies remaining assets, also invest in industries that help to reduce carbon emissions. text though recycling is one of them. the company is now to be renamed suck. you know, it's like it's fine, but despite the progress in textile recycling, there's still more to be done. recycling is the only one part of the problem of a current consumption backend of cannot continue if you want to move to what is the most sustainable of industry. there is a huge amount of,

of production in the industry and to whoever is responsible for that. it's just a lot of the debated on that. bottom line is that a little production needs to, to, to, to use the 100000000000 governments. we produce each year means 14 for every person in the world. if we can't convince function victims to stop buying the body weight, including at least we can ensure that as much as possible of what they purchase is recycled. dealing with waste is the same hodges as problems across the hill that's had to the southern said to somebody, not also what josh center with garbage is being done into something very splish and it is helping new life noon in a garden and they are just on demand to establish it, trust visitors from far and wide. the middle agree mountain really is one of india's oldest bossing to the military heroes,

incoming nato. the town of good news is a major stuff on the way the tourists are very welcome here. in addition to the ruling t plantations, the holidaymakers are a key source of income. but there are downsides. 16 tons of raised are produced each the by the tones $45000.00 residents. then there's the garbage left by the tourist. partnership 192000 but more than 10 years ago in 2013 after the festival of the wiley, i saw a facebook post written by one of my friends stating that they were going to clean the waste through an order by the tourists as another point joined, so i decided to join in la nadia and slowly, many other volunteers joined us do. then we started to dream about cleaning up the river that runs to canada. and it was while cleaning the river that we started looking for the place i need to dump the waste to quickly and go to corporate loan through pot the law nadia on the some of it. there was no model lance in sight and

could nor at that time. so the idea of processing, the waste was born, the volunteer garbage collectors, set up the clean for new organization. they're able to keep the mountain screen for themselves and the visitors. the 1st step was to separate the garbage into dry and which with the wet garbage is made up mostly of animal and salon. twist though not made to base 2 out of the one that we collect. all the lead weighs in one place inside the width waves found it from me, then it is shifted to convey a pallet organic with a non organic impurities are removed from the bottom right after the zation and it is then mixed with other vegetables and food waste. allow me a lot for them expanding this mixture then has to dry. during this process, it gets regularly over to the end of the 40 days. the dry mouth is then shredded and crowned. the result is high quality for the laser that is bought out by local

farmers. the all the mobile phone is a regular customer in the, in the city already put start. all these smaller is why we need to be its value of $6.00 to $7.00 and our fertilizer is the end because this for 2 lines that has the smallest growth vasquez's, but it's also the nitrogen, phosphorus, and production beneficial and its contents, mike the nutrients to and 2nd, to the nutrients like magnesium, sausage and catch you on the phone. all these tell the plans to robo, call the quantity and quality with the top as us and a lot of the vs life of the plants has also increased. the good news now for us is 2 thirds of its garbage, which weighs its don't into for the lives of an 85 percent of dry waves is recycled . let's roll it over a little bit because we are successfully managing ways and within this small town, the limited number of people, resources and market as well. if we can do that,

sure. it would definitely be possible in larger towns or that have a many advantages or us perhaps more problem in lots stone or there are no problems with drugs available and there's a lot more got the one here. we have to do everything by hand, but it's not that drones what to manage waste like this log. it would also be a great success with all of it on the law. it can be a great selection of taurus or against looking to the down this your drawn by the famous really and because good nor is a picture. histone which has got its waste problem under control moving on. so anyways, let's talk about matching as easy is or electric vehicles, staples, there is one big question. what happens to the use back to the use of the rising number of electric cars, less types of germany when these are gaining traction, reciting backs. these can be a complex process, but this can be done on your part or checked out. a new battery reciting launch can

handle. in the event of any emergencies and electric vehicle battery has to be dropped into water as quickly as possible when recycling these safety requirements are enormous. a warehouse like this one has to be flooded with phone within minutes . the batteries are extremely flat level or explosive. that since we open, we've been an interesting journey. it was pretty excited and even at the beginning the employer is the 1st company to do recycling could make a huge fortune. that's because batteries contain valuable metals, like cobalt and nickel flights. all we expect 15000000 electric vehicles on german roads by 2030 ones with the 15000000 is practically the day after tomorrow. i think you're not likely stadium or which is a weird visiting europe's largest recycling plant for electric vehicle batteries, which opened just a few months ago if you're staying. yeah,

we're standing here and one of the most expensive floors in germany, implementing safety 1st doesn't necessarily mean saving money and we have these in the floors. absolutely watertight. so we have several meters sick. also spend eclipse with a sensor that would notify us immediately if any substances were to see pinned to the ground, giving them the batteries delivered, have issues and have been pulled out in the car factories. however, only a few are still coming here to clean it. ultimately, our focus is primarily on testing and implementing new technologies and then using them, we're focused on learning as much as we can to be ready for. when the old batteries come out, the high volume suddenly arrives. uh i was coming up i'm, i just wouldn't even come. that high volume will arrive when the batteries of the 1st generation of electric vehicles fail in a few years. then big business will back in with the so called black mask. and the metals it contains the history of i'm from launch,

what our goal is to recover 95 percent of our nichols, which is the most expensive, most valuable or including lumen them and cover. of course, all the world is turning to electric vehicles and the demand for these metals for batteries will grow significantly by recycling them. manufacturers could reduce the need to source them from mines with or working conditions, visits or to dependent on raw materials from the 3rd country ziplock. the material from the german recycling plant ends up in a pilot plant in northern europe. the battery is shredded and using a chemical process turned into what's known as black mass, the black gold of the recycling industry. among other things, you can extract this green mix of nichol, manganese and cobalt from it, which is used in this form for new batteries. but is the price right now with prices, it's difficult to give exact prices at the moment because the business is still in

development. and what's more world market price is fluctuate great line that makes it difficult to calculate the concept, see the fest. so that's when operations get ramped up, much of the process will be automated. however, the battery still need to be improved for high recycling rates. out with car batteries, we can clearly see that the german car manufacturers are now focusing more and more on optimizing product design for a cycling design. so they want to work with us and because they are just as interested in the raw materials as we are. and also they also want to close the cycling it often cry, self sneezing and high recycling rates, such as for aluminum, have another advantage in the end. they're also good for the climate you, the toner manual, every ton of aluminum that we can return to the smelters, for example, we will save 95 percent in energy and therefore c o 2 l 2. these are the real heroes of quasi raw materials compared to raw materials that we get from the

minuses, develops the meaning to come. the operators of the recycling plant have invested 1000000 and see what they believe will be a safe bet. so many better ways to deal with josh, we will do you with the trash in your home in any unique way of doing that. just know you can email us already talked to me directly on my social media handle. i will see you next week until then take care bye. almost got the show a ride through the

guides know the way around is strictly scientific trip to some pretty cheap places. curiosity is we try it tomorrow today. next on d, w. make the phone call and tell you a little bit suspicious. is nato the strongest defense alliance in the world? little south has lost confidence in organization. is the 3 w said light on the reasons behind this would be the knocker. how did we get here? no stop in to oh is d w the

eastern is to assess, can be used across different jo, this is the real challenge. it's off his needs to be an incredibly scarce way. what the heck us transforming business is onset leo media and was just green blushing. what's now the best of what did you do before i came to china. she survived. oh sure. it's thanks to music. he was the nazis favorite conductor. he is more on the the genuine to musicians under the swastika, a documentary about this sounds of power,

inspiring story about survival of the home. go get the tennis. i was the only one. usually in nazi germany. watch now on youtube. dw documentary. the eyes modes, noses. we have so much in common, but a few things do varying like skin color. that turns out there's a simple scientific explanation for that. but it doesn't explain racism. there's never a reason to treat people on equally based on their skin color and how we evolved, whether we're alone in the universe and more welcome to tomorrow. today. it's kind of strange that we actually differentiate. been print black and white is

we have a lot of different tones of skin color. i'm looking to.
