i'm a culture of looking at the stereotype question but if you think the future of the country that i know i'm right. yes you did change everything in this drama they are to me it's all about who they know i'm right joe join me to meet the gentleman from v.w. post. the world genuity it's 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 help worldwide hello welcome to india i'm someone who coming to you from mumbai today will take
1:31 pm
a closer look at waste 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 and generally to buy you an organization in mumbai paying so some food is working toward sending the smallest amount of garbage to the dump. shell 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 rewarding. she now works at the dot on security of social sciences in mumbai where she's putting kitchen ways to where you could use.
1:32 pm
the traffic levels yeah. instead of throwing trash only it's used to produce gas and when you know demand there are benefits just as well the gas can be used to cook a lot so there's a lot of the generated from the stratosphere and the water house can also be recycled nothing is wasted by a body. when they were 5 up. shall you can do has been working at the institute for the past 6 years thanks to her efforts to buy a guess plant has processed about a 1000 tons of food waste and generated by a gas equivalent to 2080 cylinders like this one. the money basically just another 37 years ago we had a huge problem because we were clueless as to how to dispose of the huge amount of food waste that was generated by that energy because no one wants to take it we used to body the leftover food in a hole in the ground it but people complained that it was made up we did not know
1:33 pm
what to do that is when some bore not approached us with this solution 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. they set out over the city a sustainable cyclical waste management system and that would work would transforming grazed in the use resources they believe the initiative was long overdue and an indian magazine poor not originated with a very simple idea that everything in nature is cyclic every material has a purpose but. the best management system which we have is a non cyclic one where we. resources he was it and then dump it so it's a non cyclic process so what we wanted to do was to convert this into a psychic process. is home to more than 18000000 people according to the last
1:34 pm
census from 2011 to produce up 212000 metric tons of trash every single day and the garbage is only likely to increase. and is predicted to jump to more than 42000000 by 2050. the city which houses the 2nd largest dumping ground is drowning in its own garbage. more than that. i think the population in a way that is fighting. and. knowing. that not all of the markets all. run this like this 100 in some management system for dr raced through them the company basically acts as a scrap broker buying to describe. because in the city at
1:35 pm
a fair price there's helping to formalize what is otherwise a largely informal sector. the function i would drive is collection processes and also taking processes under common thing called diverse market place so that we're trying to achieve the marketplace play concept is how we can get the. informal collectors because the scrap dealers the dealers that we know the informal as well as the recyclers all under a single umbrella. all the dry reste collected throughout the day is brought here to the company's drive raced marketplace here certified and uniformed wastewater is segregated further before it is then finally sold recyclers. reste
1:36 pm
warriors 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 do i mean the one standard how to get there to that need. garbage that can be used for nothing and that constitutes not more than maybe. 20 percent by a by law but a fight with the country has ordered the. that quantities would not except when people think what you know or want to. hire think of that simply means that. the training that in your time. when the mumbai a restaurant really read division decided to introduce an environmentally friendly garbage disposal system it was
1:37 pm
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 and that . the project at bangor terminus was started by a company. very. idea was to process division if you drive down the market. market. so obvious posing versatility i banged on the nurse very in the midst of the market as well as of the station so there could be compassed this. time live the guy with 43. component handles around 70 tons of ears per day and. we would have done around $35.00 to $40.00 at
1:38 pm
a time. and goal is to be able to provide great solutions for a 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 formal treaty governed outside 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 a group we resisted a horticultural specialist in the netherlands and discovered that like every green and growing pink roses are big fans of carbon dioxide. glosses far as the eye can see. this is a ruse breeding company in the netherlands. c
1:39 pm
o 2 is pumped into these 2 huge greenhouses to help the flowers grow better. the head of the family business says the investment is paid off. to look over the leaves and when the leaves are dark and dark green then we know the leaves are. the flower we always look at the size. break at the size whether. and also the. intensity of the color important for example is this is why the. 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
1:40 pm
is the c o 2 ventilation equipment. and . a lot of pressure. of the bible's coming to. our the air inside is in reach with carbon dioxide c o 2 eighth's photosynthesis and spares plant growth the company harvest $8000.00 roses a day and can sell each one for $0.50. the gas is 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 growing greenhouses they used to get a better product traditionally they used to fuel gases from there to gas burning.
1:41 pm
they can 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 refineries 400000 barrels of oil a process each day and hundreds of thousands of tons of c o 2 generated each year as a by product. or organic c o 2 for assimilation by plants reuse is 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 3 it's transported to our facility. this pipeline and over here it gets said defied
1:42 pm
it over the 4 compressors that we have standing in the back and in a compress source it's 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 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 will benefit maybe even the most they can replace the use of environment polluting natural gas by taking suit too from industry so they are saving saving a little bit. and they can use. to to grow even better tomatoes and bed of flowers. the roots grow is no longer need a combustion plant to produce c
1:43 pm
o 2. that means they can concentrate more on their 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 produce in one year about 40000000 stems. the company is booming thanks to carbon dioxide commercial greenhouse gardeners realized this problem of 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 is 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 warranty period this is expensive for the consumer and a waste of energy and resources on the environmental level but the right to repair
1:44 pm
movement is growing in many countries we joined a global gathering of repairers thinkers and activists in bali. electronic goods are the fastest growing way stream in the world in less than a decade the lifespan of 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 when you look into the container you see is a really old laundry machines are some really old dishwashers which either could not be repaired which consume so much energy very very makes sense to have a new one but some 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 a calling for
1:45 pm
a radical change. the social costs and environmental costs are completely externalize they're not integrated into the price that's why wal-mart he was of average. congo for example is the largest producer of cobalt a rare earth metal found in every modern rechargeable battery here miners work for 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 the. ha mining is causing within the process. and the other important aspect of the debate is the planned obsolescence of hot products the american bernard london came up with this time in 1932 he thought it would be a good way to boost the economy because it would force customers to buy more all. the argument is incredibly flawed because what we're seeing is the type of
1:46 pm
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 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 writer it's 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 boxes to spare parts for all the products for everyone. second access to repair manuals. and 3rd this line of products so that they're easy to take up parts.
1:47 pm
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 discard the values on the side of a 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 the only way a stylist into fun a unique for 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
1:48 pm
something back to our planet. it came sort of very easily it had to be something that i hadn't been able to do to know i've been a designer for 30 years and what is it in design that really attracts me or really sort of inspires me. our answers are quite simple. really that 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 waste so my whole thing was that i wouldn't go product using my doodle that had been used for or meant for some some other purpose but the quality of the
1:49 pm
design and the colors and though. would be the best that you could find i would use like barriers which are not roadworthy saw a guy or is something that has a very very strong structure. we use it but of it is a small fraction of its life and after that it's torn away but the whole entire as it is. is it as a piece of furniture is something that we do so we use the tire we use it to you know as the bee is for removing all wood it. the leaving is done in textile reus. and whose 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 cotton designs they have to compete with 10 year designs from tiny now without the thesea a lot of these things come in the we all of them we can and would live in. one of the biggest challenges for our new town don was finding enough buyers once people realized that 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 crafts we 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 world every year packaging materials have spawned a massive industry but have you ever thought of turning that discarded for art
1:51 pm
that's exactly what artists. she finds beauty. are these works from the old dutch master. film watch enough. progress made from bubble wrap. and head covering fashion from. packaging other raw materials and young man uses to create her work. at a studio in the. the artist all kinds of stuff normally used to pack and protect items for shipping. as far as she's concerned these materials should be recycled could be you have. to do very. well i think they need to see a heads up. and when i see this this could be a flea. when i see this this could be

a collar somebody. very big. even as a child young mums was fascinated by her mother's art books. to this day she's inspired by the flemish painting of the 15th and 16th centuries especially the portraits by her gear funded by i don't understand fan i. she doesn't just reproduce their works like fun ites they are not feeney portrayed from 1434. instead she reinterprets them with the help of police diary maybe even. a plastic sheeting. i want to. to have a dialogue with those who buy me and make my own story out of it so. i
1:53 pm
like the looks like it but then when you look closer then you can see. artwork. so it's a little bit of this time a little bit of the old times. next she makes preparations for the photo shoot. the phone peanuts are up cycled into a halo. the models jewelry also has a past life as packing peanuts. during the shoot suzanne young man trying to capture the perfect picture she takes hundreds of shots focusing on different sections and. this is why paying so to speak. so for pictures and then put them together on the computer so it's not about the moment just. bases off. of every
1:54 pm
frame and put them together like a painter would. man's words and lives with their family and down around an hour's drive south of amsterdam. after the photos have all been shot the most time consuming work begins young man spends weeks in her studio piecing together individual images. dozens of different shots to create a single picture. not only is she able to achieve a depth that is virtually impossible to capture in one of my photographs this gives her pictures a kind of hyper realistic. a 21st century take on a 15th century masterpiece young man's interpretation of young man i guess the virgin mary from the kent altarpiece. i like thrusting. go along with. it's seems just opening
1:55 pm
a box of. this for little things and then good idea to do something with it at 1st i don't know why but then it evolved into something i really like. design young man's large format photographs sell for around $5000.00 euros or more to masterpieces are proof that one woman's trash is another woman's tresham. well there's only so much garbage in the earth can create all of it maybe won't hit that limit in our lifetimes but we definitely really leave behind a dumpy awful plug for generations that will follow us if we don't make a conscious choice to consume less and clearer be less we'll be back next week rick yet another interesting topic until then good bye.
