from politics to flash from housing boom boom town this is where. welcome to the 77 percent. this weekend on v.w. . you know. the world generally it's more than $2000000000.00 tons of garbage i merely 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 hello welcome to india i'm someone coming to you from mumbai today we'll take
9:31 am
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 generate revenue and organization in mumbai pink. 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 grace because to an operator of a bio gas system has been warning. she now works at the doctor institute of social sciences a number where she's putting kitchen raise good use. the
9:32 am
topic enables yeah. instead of throwing trash at me 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 there were 5. shell who can do has been working at the institute for the past 6 years thanks to the bio 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 goes from a 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 committee because no one wants to take it we used to read the leftover food in a hole in the crowd but people complained that it just made up we did not know what
9:33 am
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. which is a social enterprise founded by 3 young entrepreneurs. set out for this city a sustainable cyclical based management system and that would work with its transforming graced into used resources they believe the initiative was long overdue and an indian magazine or not originated with a very simple idea that everything in nature is cyclic every material has a purpose. the management system which we have is a non cyclic one where the. resources use it and then dump it so it's a non-psychotic process so what we wanted to do was to convert this into
9:34 am
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 every single day and the garbage is only likely to increase. 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 if. they have not the market all. friendless like this one. management system for dr raced through them the company basically acts as a broker buying to describe. because in the city at
9:35 am
a fair price there is helping to formalize what is otherwise a largely informal sector. function i would drive east. processes and also processes. marketplace so that we're trying to achieve the market place like concept is how we can get the. farmer. because the scrap dealers the dinners that we know the informal. 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 for before it is then finally sold recyclers.
9:36 am
changed the way garbage is 100 in india can face a number of challenges including ignorance and apathy. about north. by definition of a minimum standard how to get there to the needs. that. it can be used for nothing and that constitutes not more than maybe. in 20 but i think by a by law i thought the thought was lower than smart the country has a different order that condit is would not accept when people like you know or care that aren't going as high i think he's on top of that simply means that or lances that are dumping grounds that feeling that in no time. when the mumbai reston's railway division decided to introduce an environmentally friendly garbage disposal system it was
9:37 am
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 was started by a company called ourselves better than. idea was to process the originated and other markets diverged open markets. so obvious processing versatility. very. station so deadly force. base. jumper not timed. for day. 35. and goal is to be able to provide race solutions
9:38 am
for the changing perhaps but example. in a magazine. lasting change will only come when everyone begins to play their. carbon dioxide is a waste product and that's why dumping it in the open is a form of 3 to the top and dark side can also be very useful. produce it in large quantities and some of them actually funneled this greenhouse 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 ruse breeding company in the netherlands. c
9:39 am
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. through the leaves and when the leaves are dark and dark green then we know. 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 why the pros but we have 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.
9:40 am
but what's really special is the c o 2 ventilation equipment. for. this pipe over here. and. the pressure. of the bible's coming this year to. 15 on a one hour 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 gas is brought in virus subterranean pipeline from rotterdam. now and again the supply it cools by. bloomberg has 600 greenhouses on his books now and the crops fetch the balls cut flowers are grown in greenhouses they used to. get a better product traditionally they used to fuel gases from lead to
9:41 am
a gas burning that i'll show you today can stop using electro 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 are processed here each day and hundreds of thousands of tons of c o 2 generated each year as a byproduct. ok up 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. so. it's coming from from the shell refinery 3 it's transported to our facility. this pipeline and over here it gets divided
9:42 am
over the 4 compressors that we have standing in the back and a compress source to it's put a 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 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 to to grow even better tomatoes and better that's why. the roots grow is no longer need
9:43 am
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 produce in one year about 40000000 stems. the company is booming thanks to carbon dioxide commercial greenhouse gardens 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 movement is growing in many countries we joined a global gathering of repairers thinkers and activists in bali. electronic goods are the fastest growing away 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 are they could not be repaired which consume so much energy then makes sense to have a new one but some can be repaired yes discarded eat 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
9:45 am
a radical change. the social costs and environmental costs are completely externalize they're not integrated into the price that's why raw materials 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 hot mining is causing within the price. and other important aspects of the debate is the planned obsolescence of our products the american branded 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 more all. the larger wind is incredibly flawed because what we're seeing is
9:46 am
a type of innovation that actually does not put meat on the planet nor people at the center. who call the lorry 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 to 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 oxus to spare parts for all of the products for everyone. second access to repair
9:47 am
manuals. and 3rd to sign up products so that they're easy to take up parts. while our devices are increasingly complex the solution to the proper. 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 tires on the side of a highway waiting to be set on fire the way 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 for which the. 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
9:48 am
something back to our planet. it came sort of very easily there 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 it will lead the craftsman up people who i really feel inspired by. for the last 6 years i know 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 would make a product using my doodle that had been used for or meant for some some other
9:49 am
purpose but the quality of the design and the colors and though. would be the best that you could find i would use do they like barriers which are not all that would be sort of dire is something that has a very very strong structure. we use a bit of it is a small fraction of its life and after that it's torn away but the whole entire as it is to lose it as a piece of furniture is something that we do so we use that idea really was it do you know as the bee is for reading over it. the giving 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 weaving and 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 current designs they have to compete with 20 or designs from tiny now or southeast asia a lot of these things come in the we all of them would live in. one of the biggest challenges for our new town don't. was finding enough buyers once people realized that the products were made of material we wanted to pay lower prices without seeing the hard work and effort that go into making such items crafts we 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. every packaging materials have formed a massive industry but have you ever thought of turning that discarded form into
9:51 am
art that's exactly what artists. are these quotes from the old dutch master. don't watch enough. like dress made from bubble wrap. and head covering fashion for. packaging other raw materials. to create. all kinds of stuff normally used to pack and protect items for shipping. as far as she's concerned these materials should be recycled. to do very. well. this could be a. very

big. even as a child young mans 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 poor traits by her gear fun divider and young fun i think. she doesn't just reproduce their works like finites they are not female portrayed from 1434. instead she reinterprets them with the help of palestine in. a plastic sheeting. i want to. to have a dialogue with those who hire me and make my own story out of it so.
9:53 am
i like the. new look closer then you can see. the 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. up cycled into 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. 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. basis off. of every
9:54 am
frame and put them together like a painter would go. on young man's works 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 begin this young man who spends weeks in her studio piecing together the individual images. dozens of different shots to create a single picture. not only is she able to achieve a depth that's virtually impossible to capture in one of my 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 man i guess the virgin mary from the kent altarpiece. i like thrusting. go along with.
9:55 am
opening a box of. little things. at 1st i don't know why but then it evolves it's all something i really like. design young minds launch for much photographs sell for around $5000.00 euros and want to masterpieces are proof 'd that one woman's trash is another woman's treasure. well there's only so much garbage in the earth can create all of it maybe we won't hit that limit in our lifetimes but we definitely will leave behind and dumpy are there for blood for generations that will follow us if we don't make a conscious choice to consume less and clearer b.s. we'll be back next week rick yet another interesting topic until then good bye.
