the world generally gets more than $2000000000.00 tons of garbage annually according to the world bank at least 33 percent of this is not managed in an environmentally safe manner and these growing piles of garbage not only pose a serious threat to the environment but in danger of human health worldwide alone welcome to india i'm someone who coming to you from mumbai today will take a closer look at twist and how to turn it into something useful a monumental 72 percent of india's garbage remains on treated and ends up in dumping grounds around the country if segregated and treated correctly this trash
3:03 am
in general to value an organization in mumbai paying so some food is working towards sending the smallest amount of garbage to the. shah who can do as a spend about 15 years working with waste the journey from greece because to an operator of a bio gas system has been a warning. she now works at the daughter institute of social sciences a number where she's putting kitchen ways where you could use. the topic in a big yeah. instead of throwing trash i mean it's used to produce gas and when you know the manure benefits dries while the gas can be used to cook the one either so there's a lot of the generated from the stratosphere and the water you can also be the site of the nothing is based. you know we don't back. and there if.
3:04 am
you can do has been working at the institute for the past 6 years thanks to her efforts to buy a guest plant has processed about a 1000 tons of food waste and generated by a gas equivalent to 2000 and b.g. cylinders like this one. basically just 7 years ago we had a huge problem because we were clueless as to how to dispose of that huge amount of food waste that was generated by the kennedy because no one wants to take it we used to buddy the leftover food in a hole in the ground it but people complained that it just made up we did not know what to do that is when some born not brought us. off by a gas line. the institute's bar gets blown it was the 1st project of some which is a social enterprise founded by 3 young entrepreneurs. set out for their city
3:05 am
a sustainable cyclical waste management system that would work towards transforming graced into used resources they believe the initiative was long overdue in an indian magazine so i'm poor not originated with a very simple idea that everything in nature is cyclic every material has a purpose but. the base management system which we have is a non cyclic one. resources use it and then dump it so it's a non cyclic process so what we wanted to do was to convert this into a cyclic process. is home to more than 18000000 people according to the last census from 2011 to produce up 212000 metric tons of trash single day and the garbage is only likely to increase. in this predicted to jump to more than 42000000 by 2050. the city which houses the 2nd largest dumping ground is
3:06 am
drowning in its own garbage. more than that. i think the population in the way that is fighting. and there was. no income. they have not up to the mark at all. vendors like this 100. management system for dry waste through them the company basically acts as a scrap broker buying segregated describe. because in the city at a fair price there's helping to formalize what is otherwise a largely informal sector. that we function our drive east collection processes and also processes under common thing called diverse
3:07 am
marketplace so that we're trying to achieve the marketplace concept is how we can get the. informal collectors because the scrap dealers the dealers that we know inform us as well as the recyclers. all the dry reste collected throughout the day is brought here to the company's drive raced marketplace here certified and uniform restored is segregated further before it is then finally sold to recyclers. reste warriors who set out to change the way garbage is 100 in india can face a number of challenges including ignorance and apathy. to move. about north. because by definition how to offer me one standard how to get there
3:08 am
to the needs of any pure garbage that can be used for nothing and that constitutes not more than maybe. 20 percent by a by law but a flat with level benchmark the country has ordered the. that quantities would not except when to let you know or give that quantity. of that simply means that order. printing that in your time. when the a restaurant really reversion decided to introduce an environmentally friendly garbage disposal system it was a huge task dadar station is home to the biggest vegetable market in the mumbai and while that means farm fresh vegetables and low prices it also means waste lots and lots of it. the projects are bangor terminus stocked by
3:09 am
a company. very. idea was to process their vision a market. driven market. so we set up obvious processing versatility the nurse very good but the rest of the market as well as of the station so very very composed. and. 43. company time going around 70 pounds obvious per day and. we would have done around $35.00 to $45.00 to come. and goal is to be able to provide way solutions for the changing world perhaps but example can inspire others to follow suit after all in a magazine like mumbai lasting change will only come when everyone begins to play their part.

carbon dioxide is a waste product and that's why dumping it in the open is a form of free tutoring but carbon dioxide can also be very useful oil refineries produce it in large quantities and some of them actually funneled this green house gas to greenhouses but it's used to help plants group we resisted a horticultural specialist in the netherlands and discovered that like every green and growing thing roses are big fans of carbon dioxide. glosses far as the eye can see. this is a rouge breeding company in the netherlands. c o 2 is pumped into these 2 huge greenhouses to help the flowers grow better. the head of the family business says the investment has paid off. the local boys through the leaves and when the leaves are dark and dark green then we know the
3:11 am
leaves are. i mean we look to the flower we always look at the size. how big are the size who wear the veil. the selling of and also the. intensity of the important for example is this is a wider view of different types of colors. to compete against roses flown in from emerging economies the business has to work very efficiently with high tech heating and cooling systems automatic irrigation and fertilization. but what's really special is the c o 2 ventilation equipment. and . all the pressure. of the bible succumbing to.
3:12 am
our the air inside is in reach with carbon dioxide c o 2 eighth's photosynthesis and spurs plant growth the company harvest $8000.00 roses a day and can sell each one for $0.50. the gases brought in virus subterranean pipeline from rotterdam. now and again the supply of cools by. bloomberg has 600 greenhouses on his books. the crops fetch the balls cut flowers grown in greenhouses they used to get a better product traditionally they used a few grasses from there to gas burning with it i'll show you today can't stop using an eco gas and create even better products. the carbon dioxide comes from the port of rotterdam from one of the world's largest oil refinery use $400000.00 barrels of oil
3:13 am
a process each day and hundreds of thousands of tons of c o 2 generated each year as a byproduct. or organic c o 2 for assimilation by plants or uses some of that. the company has a plant in the dutch poort and supplies half a 1000000 tons of c o 2 to greenhouses. this is what it sounds like when the gas is released it smells slightly acidic. so. it's coming from from the shell refinery it's transported to our facility. this pipeline and over here it gets said divided over the 4 compressors that we have standing in the back and in the compress source to is put the pressure and entered into by playing that well then supplied the c o 2 to the greenhouses. in the past these greenhouses had to produce the carbon dioxide themselves by burning natural gas. the use of recycled
3:14 am
c o 2 means that they save a huge amount of the fossil fuel approximately the same amount of natural gas is consumed by a city with a population of 150000 people the green houses are the one who benefits maybe even the most they can replace the use of environment polluting natural gas by taking shoot to from industry so they are saving the environment saving a little bit. and they can you top of that more c o 2 to grow even better tomatoes and better that's why. the roots grow is no longer need a combustion plant to produce c o 2. that means they can concentrate more on that cool business. my family started 40 years ago and we start that they've been a small company grow a big big and now we could use in one year about 40000000 stems.
3:15 am
to companies booming thanks to carbon dioxide commercial greenhouse gardens realized this problem gas can also be a valuable resource. if you're struggling to repair a new household appliance that's broken don't worry you're not alone this sometimes surprisingly difficult to fix in many cases it's not in the interests of the manufacturers to make a device that last significantly longer than its one t.p.d. this is expensive for the consumer and a waste of energy and resources on the environmental level but the right to repair movement is growing in many countries we joined a global gathering of repairers think of us and activists in bali. electronic goods are the fastest growing way stream in the world in less than a decade the lifespan of
3:16 am
a television in germany dropped from more than 10 years to less than 6 of the best ways is the ways that you don't produce but when you look into the container you see is a really old laundry machines are some really old dishwashers which are the could not be repaired would consume so much energy then makes sense to have a new one for example can be repaired has discarded products account for less than 10 percent of all municipal waste in the european union but extracting the rare earth metals used in many devices typically requires sulphuric acid and creates more toxic waste activists like your hand as you do a calling for a radical change. the social costs and environmental costs are completely externalize they're not integrated into the price that's why vomiting was a very to. congo for example is the largest producer of cobalt a rare earth metal found in every modern rechargeable battery here miners work for
3:17 am
about 50 euro cents a day activists and companies like fair phone are increasingly demanding companies take accountability for their supply chain. we need to integrate all. ha mining it's causing within the. another important aspect of the debate is the planned obsolescence of harper about the american bernard london came up with this term in 1932 he thought it would be a good way to boost the economy because it would force customers to buy no. article when it's incredibly flawed because what we're seeing is the type of innovation that actually does not put meat on the planet nor people of the senator. who valerie is a co-founder of the restart project a u.k. based organization that supports repair initiatives the european commission has
3:18 am
recently ratified a new set of regulations that will make repairing easier from 2021 it will force manufacturers to make spare parts available to repair shops but crucially not to customers. now that doesn't make any sense and that's why people want a real breakthrough is not something that is designed to limit what people can read . the pressure is mounting for right to repair based on 3 key pillars. first oxus to spare parts for all the products for everyone. second access to repair manuals. and 3rd this line of products so that very easy to take up parts . while our devices are increasingly complex the solution to the problem doesn't have to be a comprehensive right to repair has the potential to benefit both the customers and the environment.

now growing up obscenely large heaps of discarded on the side before highway waiting to be set on fire today that picture is very fair in the indian cities many discarded tires to me are recycled or repurposed like in our next story and designer in mumbai is turning into fun a unique form which they can. don has been a designer for over 3 decades. the idea of her latest calling fashioning furniture out of up cycled material came to her while contemplating on the need to give something back to our planet. it came sort of very easily they've had to be something that i hadn't been able to do to. i've been in design over 30 years and what is it in design that really attracts me or really sort of inspires me. our answers are quite simple. really there
3:20 am
craftsman are people who i really feel inspired by. for the last 6 years and who has been working with a group of crafts people making furniture out of material that is typically discarded like old tires leftover textiles and plastic wrappers. being in mumbai you come across a lot of small industries and small medium industries mostly which threw out a lot of the east so my whole thing was that i would meet a product using my doodle that had been used for or meant for some some other purpose but the quality of the design and the colors and though. would be the best that you could find i would use material like tires which are not road worthy saw a tire is something that has a very very strong structure. we use it but of it is
3:21 am
a small fraction of its life and after that it's thrown away but the whole entire as is. was it as a piece of furniture is something that we do so we use the tire we use it to you know as the b. is for reading over it. the reading is done in textile reus. the news efforts are also driven by a desire to provide a secure and sustainable livelihood for craftsmen who are skilled in traditions like hand weaving hand printing and basketry most come here from rural areas to make a living in most cases they are not equipped they're not educated they're not skidded into homes of cut in design they have to compete with designs from time now. the lot of these things come in the we all of them we would live in. one of the biggest challenges for the new time don was finding enough buyers once people realized that
3:22 am
the products were made of waste material they wanted to pay lower prices without seeing the hard work and effort that go into making such items the craftsman need up to 10 days to complete these artistic pieces of furniture and their work makes a real difference to the environment. if you shop online you're likely to have some of the stuff featured in our next report lying around the. billions of packages shipped around the one every year packaging materials have formed a massive industry but how do you have a court of turning that discarded food into art that's exactly what artists. she finds beauty. are these words from the old dutch master. no more than art. a dress made from bubble wrap.
