a serious threat to the environment but in danger of human health worldwide hello welcome to india i'm. coming to you from mumbai today we'll take a closer look at waste and how to turn it into something useful a monumental 72 percent of india's garbage remains untreated and ends up in dumping grounds around the country if segregated and treated correctly this trash and generate revenue and organization in mumbai. 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 warning. she now works at the doctor institute of social sciences in mumbai where

she's putting kitchen ways to where you could use. the topic of exile battle for instead of throwing trash i mean it's used to produce gas and when you know the money on benefits just while the gas can be used to cook a lot so there is a lot of the generated from the stratosphere and the water house can also be recycled nothing is wasted by a body. when there were 5. who can do has been working at the institute for the past 6 years thanks to the efforts of the bio guest plant has processed about a 1000 tons of food waste and generated by a gas equivalent to 2000 and p.g. 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 that huge amount of

food waste that was generated by the energy because no one wants to take it we used to buddy the leftover food in a hole in the ground but people complained that it was made up by that we did not know what to do that is when some bore not approached us with this solution off by a gas line out of the institute's bar gets blown it was the 1st project of. 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 the words transforming waste into used resources they believe the initiative was long overdue and an indian magazine for 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 with the. resources he was sick and then dumping

non-psychotic 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. and the garbage is only likely to increase. this 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 the way that. they have not the market all. renders 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 is helping to formalize what is otherwise a largely informal. function i would drive east collection process or the knowledge processes. marketplace so that we're trying to achieve the marketplace concept is how we can get them. because the scrap dealers. that we know informally. all the dry rest collected throughout the day is brought here to the company's drive raced marketplace here certified and uniform segregated further before it

is then finally sold recyclers. changed the way garbage is 100 in india can face a number of challenges including ignorance and apathy. to move. about north. because. if you know how to offer me one standard how to get there to that need. that. it can be used for nothing and that constitutes not more than maybe. in principle think by a by law as what the side with the will benchmark the country has a different order that condit they should not expect when people let you know or care that aren't you going as high i think if you want to think that simply means that or lances that are dumping grounds of turning within or time.

when the mumbai reston railway division 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 a lot and lots of it. projects are bangers terminus that was started by a company called often where an. idea was to process the originator and other markets and a vegetable market. so obvious person versus. verin. station so they're being forced. to. come. by day.

$35.00 to $40.00. and goal is to be able to provide solutions for changing perhaps that example can inspire others to follow suit. in a magazine. lasting change will only come when everyone begins to play the. carbon dioxide is a waste product and that's why dumping it in the open is a form of free to the top and 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 the group we resisted the 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 roast 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 is paid off. the local ways through the leaves and when the leaves are dark and dark green then we know leaves are. the flower we always look at the size. how big are the size whether the selling of and also the. intensity of the color is so important for example if this is a why that goes but we have different types of for us. 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. those covering out this pipe over here. the air inside is in rich 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. crops fetch the

flowers grow in greenhouses they used to get a better product traditionally they used to fuel gases from gas burning. stop using the natural gas and create even better products. the carbon dioxide comes from the port of. 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 byproduct. camp or organic c o 2 for assimilation by plants we use 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. from the shell refinery 3 it's transported to our facility. and over it get certified it's. just that we have standing in the back. put the pressure and entered into by playing well then supplied a 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 $150000.00 people the greenhouses are the one who benefits maybe even the most they can replace the use of environment polluting natural gas by taking c o 2 from industry so they are saving the of i meant saving

a little bit. and they can use 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 and me grow a big big guy and now we could use in one year about 40000000 stems. the company is booming thanks to carbon dioxide commercial greenhouse gardeners 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 warranty period 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 thinkers and activists in bali. electronic goods are the fastest growing waste 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 then makes sense to have a new one but some can be repaired yes 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 hands 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 lives of every 2. congo for example is the largest producer of cobalt a rare earth metals 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 harm that mining is causing within the price. another important aspect of the debate is the planned obsolescence of our products the american bennett 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. the argument it's incredibly flawed because what we're seeing is the type of innovation that actually does not put a meter in the climate nor people at the center. hoover lurie 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 rio right so 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. secretary access to repair manuals. and 3rd design of products so that very easy to take apart. while our devices are increasingly complex the solution to the probably. doesn't have to be a comprehensive right to repair has the potential to benefit both the customers and the environment. now growing up i've seen large heaps of discarded tires on the side of a highway waiting to be set on fire the way that picture is very rare 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 call. 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 it had to be something that i hadn't been able to do to you know 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. the craftsman up 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 i come across a lot of small industries and small medium industries mostly which threw out

a lot of east so my old thing was that i would meet a product using my doodle that had been used for or meant for someone 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 barriers which are not road worthy sort of guy or is something that has a very very strong structure. we would have thought of it is a small fraction of its life and after that it's thrown away but the whole entire as it is to use it as a piece of furniture is something that we do so we use the taiyo we use it to you know as the bee is for removing all the of it. the leaving is done in textile with. 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 leading him to 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 india designs from time out southeast asia a lot of these things come in the we all of them on good living. one of the biggest challenges for our new tundra. was finding enough buyers once people realized that the products were made of material they wanted to pay lower prices without seeing the hard work and effort that go into making such items the craftsmen need up to $10.00 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. billions of packages.

every packaging materials have formed a massive industry but have you ever thought of turning that discarded food into art that's exactly what artists. works from the old dutch master. don't watch enough. address make from bubble wrap . and head covering fashion from. packaging materials. to create. 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. heads.

this could be a. 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 our gear founder biden and young fan. doesn't just reproduce their works like finites the arnold fini portrayed from 1434. instead she reinterprets them with the help of policy. or plastic sheeting.

i want to. to have a dialogue with those who hired me and make my own story out of it so. i 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 times. next she makes preparations for the photo shoot. up cycled into a halo. the model's 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 put them together on the computer so it's it is not about the

moment. basis off. of every frame and put them together like a painter would. sound young minds would sound 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 who spends weeks in her studio piecing together the individual images. dozens of different shots and they had to create a single picture. not only is she able to achieve a depth that's virtually impossible to capture in ordinary photographs this gives her pictures a kind of hyper realist that. a 21st century take on a 15th century masterpiece young man's interpretation of young van eyck the virgin

mary from the kent altarpiece. i like thrusting. go along with. it seems. to me. at 1st i don't know why but then a divorce it's also a thing i really like. design young man's launch for much photographs sound for around $5000.00 euros and modern masterpieces are proof that one woman's trash is another woman's treasure. well there's always so much garbage in the earth can create all of it maybe won't hear directly but in our lifetimes but we definitely will leave behind and dumpy are the 4 planned for generations that will follow us if we don't make a conscious choice to consume less and to a b. and we'll be back next week rick yet another interesting topic until then good bye
