china used to take half the world's recyclable rubbish not evil they've got nothing they won't change. the government has now declared war on waste but what do you do with the garbage generated by one point four billion people. from steve chad on this episode of one when he used we've been to live on china's rubbish crisis. we've traveled about an hour outside by james where the problem is china feiss managing its weist are on the stock display by. the stockpile here is the

results of share bikes games gone wrong. the bicycles with dumps here because they were clogging up by aging straights. this is just one of many bicycle don't think around dalton across china there are a symbol of a culture of the french juices and throws a y. on massive skyll and whether it's bicycles plastics or industrial weist it's a problem that's getting bigger and bigger and. china. the question is of. no way. the problem is china faces an. aging

population much the same as a strong h. diet a city produces twenty five thousand times the flyest than double what it was twenty years ago. of food korea's is. food delivery is known here as. in china's b cities you can order pretty much anything from a. single cup of coffee the next to nothing. the

well you know my. outcomes. are. trying. to have some. sort. of. valve. job for you so. my idea. these newly popular online delivery service is helping to generate vast amounts of plastic whites across the country about twenty million dollars of my h.d. i finally from two major companies producing around sixteen million the plastics untidiness.

i was to meet you need to be traveling by sixty. rubbish right chimley when knows all too well the challenges faced by a country where more people are getting wealthy fast he's someone made this they don't have the basic infrastructure for first amendment they just she's one of china's most energetic environmental campaigners i did i change the winners taking us to see where a good crop was by james brown. ends up. on the city's outskirts. historically china city is also sends their waste to the countryside but gradually the farmers from the fields because we have more and more not all chronic stuff.

we've come to one of beijing's biggest and oldest dumpsites homes of both a landfill and an incinerator and these is about as close as we can get this is it . the first time i came here it was almost ten years ago now so he is going like a beauty. in the past this landfill contaminated the groundwater as far as four kilometers away locals also worry about a missions from the incinerator. over the years i have visited over thirty eight percent eighty eight including a man feel as anything major across china i could see how this facility is heavy impacts the people. and people are suffering from this pollution.

with all it's sustainable waste my time and we don't have theater. in its war to reduce weist china has one of my advantage. a vast network of rubbish because we taped much of the recyclable weist out of landfill and incineration very low on. the off. and there's already enough. one gene dong is one. by aging one hundred seventy thousand a rubbish scavenge is part of the informal recycling industry that currently handles about a third of the city's garbage. a

migrant worker really if he's home province and years ago long lives on the fringes of the capital in a brick shack with no electricity or running water. wang and his wife took in their nephew eleven year old monk and after the child's father. now a mattress with others i'm a man. by . wang is committed to giving his nephew and education. about what here.

now look at all of the old order is. lost a lot when you're. a one is taking me with him to collect volatiles on a demolition site covered with plastic mesh to keep down the dust it's worth. the real money and rubbish comes from controlling turf. well connected collectors cut deals with the big residential compounds pining for exclusive rights to handle their wife's. surely no one. so you do now as i why do you not go to war with just a white man. is no the easiest way to make a living at the best of times but it's not even ten am it's already getting up towards

thirty five degrees. and then there. is a little to go to war. so we're doing a little. sure. one hundred. well there's a window there isn't what. we know is in the wash. what. they don't know what was the deal with them what. the rubbish because a highly effective according to chen lee when who's studied them closely became a psycho whatever the market can deal with we weed through the filter word and found out there is psycho like almost a ninety percent of the recycle. areas through much much higher in any of the of our countries. they rely on recycling through this family.

eg lung and attends a local school set up for the children of the city's migrant workers it costs around two hundred dollars a year in phase. but even in this marginalized community the rubbish because nephew is at the bottom of the pack. order. sure. the rubbish collectors might be efficient but the future is uncertain. most like one gene don't come from outside the city. in recent crackdowns

beijing has tried to force them out. recently wang has heard that the buildings around his home a slighted for demolition and the fees he's could be next. in the military than anyone. that's a much one says it. isn't often that the media. was really doing. the rubbish because of facing another threat. it comes from entrepreneurs like. her before front of a government push to solve the crisis with high tech solutions this is a. woman who shouldn't be but the national government. should.

most impact. the ows company imes to cut out the rubbish collectors by encouraging individuals to recycle each bottle credits just under one cent to your bank account to get the fastest. to. develop. their company has placed five thousand of these machines around by jane. there's a daily limit of twenty to thirty bottles per user. designed to stop the rubbish because from cashing in. the company even transports the bottles to a plastic processing factory and ultimately turns them into consumer goods so the majority of the show that eating it you can imagine and now you know. it's really

almost. as if that's. so we are talking. into the bank. it has returned to their home or to them. it's on the sea. i. mean is still recycling the old fashioned why he peddles his wares to a market more than an hour across town another small cog in the informal recycling shank. out of there are. clear what about it hell if you know it tough you know not to lived.

higher than lloyd surely you. didn't don't want to be in the gentlest we sack you sound we should. turn turn up. by the way. what are ya don't. hear the city's trash turns into treasure any item useful for manufacturing plastic cardboard metal as a value here. it's been a good day mr wang has made about thirty dollars from a week's garbage enough to support his family for another wake. from here the plastic bottles cardboard and other packaging and collected on the streets of beijing begin the long journey why from the capital. the question is where does it all go from here. when the government

announced its ban on foreign rice last year it also cracked down on backyard recycling centers like these to. the city seeking to be found she's it seems. to me this piece. as this recent state media documentary reveals far easier might. in a show with closing down the senses because there are a danger to work his health and the environment. but have all these backyard albright is a really shut down. and if they have where is china's domestic waste recycled. we decide to visit once was the biggest center for

plastic recycling in northern china the wind and district an hour from beijing. processing was officially shut down here some years ago i've heard there's still some going on and there are indications recycling is happening at nearby is another truck with. plastic pellets have gone through the recycling process already in the ready to be taken away and used for manufacturing she wouldn't. but if it is still happening it's well he'd be. a diva. facing the outside showing them are. you going to go down to the vama. will come and go there you know it will load up. then though.

i call one of the numbers on the shop fronts and a man tells me he's moved his business to in a mongolia in china's north. when the center is closed people who are shipped to more remote every container there. because we still have so much flat plastic we do have a problem is just the shift of the promotion from one war concentrating same car to a more like dispersed. in went on there are cameras everywhere . about half an hour after our arrival local officials turn up whatever e's going on here they don't want us to say yes. so you know i get along. on this so they want us to come down to have

a word with them before supposedly the whole show us one of these local factories here will see. after an hour at the station the police tyke us to lunch and send us on our why buy site plastic processing has all been shot down and went on and moved to other parts of china. back in beijing if there is some aspects to the rubbish system the government ease came to showcase. city officials have told me last year to up to show us how they dealing changed what. fighting is one of forty six cities across the country trying a new rubbish sorting system. to know how you.

would help. the government if it's so far to convince city dwellers to sort their weist haven't gone well. for their. own. eric leo is the laid plastics campaigner for grain pace you also may hoard to me and from there. to show you go to guy meaning to. once collected beijing's rubbish is compacted then trucked on to one of the world's largest incinerators. and that's the next stop on out to up. the loot an incinerator in the hills west of the aging burns about

a night from the city's galv age transforming the hate into energy. according to john yoo a shang from the city government a chivas plan produces the signed amount of electricity as one hundred forty three . tons of coal. should you go in there for a woman or. center yourself. and to build a. china wants its big cities to burn more than half the household waste by the end of this decade but if the rubbish isn't properly stored there are problems. so you. seem to go. to your beach all. day so you sell aren't you. don't know how. from what we

see heed to the this still a lot of plastics in the mix. it's clear china has a long way to go. for food korea role jan it's been another long day on the streets of beijing so the central government is now considering restrictions on packaging including tiger away food containers. rajon hasn't heard about these plans but he agrees there needs to be china.

and less on the. i've come back to see the rubbish pico. and his nephew. six weeks earlier he told us he was worried the local government would try to force him out of his home. well this is a bit of a surprise since we were here last on the completely break the flying where they're healthy. even though if they are many more. than are. you know. whether they're not on the whole. don't want to you know.

it doesn't matter how much longer their house will remind standing body says whatever happens try to stay in beijing. so much i don't want to show you you know of neon and brown was there but you still when you're. with these rubbish rick dean wang is trying to support his family by picking up casual labor jobs it's not the future he dreams of if you. are not a little you who was young and when i saw you call a whole. new world on a cold war i want to go on a little assured. they will talk to you so no one will find.

annoy you will you have the you soon find a new normal. so if you're one of the one who. wants to make i clean a future for eleven year old monk i am out of the rubbish because disappear it could be growing up in a country that recycles less than it does now. as the big cities modernize the lives of those who have done the most to keep them claim will be more precarious than ever. we're. i have dedicated almost my entire professional life so that we venture and fight against corruption and what i have heard is that we need
