as long as. you know the bank screen. and so was the language of the bank. speaking the truth. matters j w made for mines. the default setting of our planet is green lush and community expansive landscapes for as long as the ice caves and the rich biodiversity. the impact of humans has been such that we have unknowingly and norine change this default to adult create columns of fumes and jungles of concrete and asphalt everywhere. how long welcome

to eco india. today we look at how economic progress can happen in 2 vivian bobert. world over the packaging industry is criticised for heavily contributing to plastic pollution banning existing practices is not possible yet until a feasible and sustainable alternative is provided a delhi based company is attempting to offset this problem by manufacturing 100 percent natural biodegradable and compose stable packaging in tableware and providing a model to move towards a green economy. in light of major health concerns and vice president and vironment will damage india has pledged to eliminate single use plastic by 2022 implementing the ban however

will be difficult the countries plastic industry is one of the biggest in the world . but the decision also opens the door to alternatives the green sector is now creating much needed job opportunities. like here in this factory which makes 100 percent compatible tableware from bio waste like sugarcane by gas. 21 year old kumari pretty found a job here when she was in desperate need or want and things have worked out well for her. family and but i can't they pay i gave up studying and i used to manage the farm in order to provide for my family but it wasn't enough after i began working here i was able to build a house for my family and now my brother can continue to study when i needed some extra money i was able to borrow it from the company and.

women like priti make up about a 3rd of the workforce at the sequel their factory it provides steady employment to seasonal workers in the sustainability sector eco aware has emerged as india's largest cream packaging company it was founded in 2010 by pharmacological rearm assume their single. i had moved to delhi from the u.k. and i was absolutely shocked at the amount of plastic people were using so freely basically you know not sounding the negative health impact i've had or the negative impact it has on the environment as well i don't think anyone really cared about what they were eating out of how they were littering where their waste ended up and i think in a country where 1300000000 people you know there was a real need for a solution so being a biomass rich nation and having new such products abroad i thought why not make an india. company has

a $120.00 employees but for single it's not just a matter of creating jobs and eco friendly products it's also about consciously making green choices throughout the process. as products are delivered by amazon a service that produces huge carbon emissions single has taken the step of making her company's packaging plastic free. where we are a complete so the economy model so 100 percent of our revenue is derived from the circular economy so we have 0 waste process any that's come out that you know might not be processed finished goods is recycled so that goes back into our tanks and it's fed. and then all the water again is sort of. cleaned and re used. worldwide 300000000 tons of plastic are produced every year and they don't have the plastic is just used once in india the recent

rash of food delivery services has increased the demand for disposable packaging and truth. has been used in the food delivered in the single use plastic. cutlery and the. food items that mostly it's the pee or the people he probably so the problem with these cutlery is like after the convention these sort of contamination which cannot be properly cycled that's a problem. but some establishments are taking a more socially responsible approach from the start burger are made the decision to use equal where boxes even though they cost more. expensive for shop i mean it's more than the price. product but i think we were very clear from the beginning that . sustainability is something that we believe in the places such.

as the day are brown would be perceived of the customer when he gets delivered to his door so the premiss of the brand of the product all came out with those of the packaging that we use so in a way that you could call it a marketing spend for us but i think. as customers become more of their of the amount of plastic we use being generated more sustainable options are bound to appear and prices are likely to drop. we now into the travel food space as well so the railways which is the indian railways which is you know the largest mere provider in the country and does over a 1000000 meals a day we developed a product that was to them and has started working with them as well. and we even tell a little bit offline online. the way we see it now a single use plastic is a global problem and we want to be a global solution and

a global brand and that's our aspiration. with customers like the indian railways food chains and hotels brands like eco where will become part of the mainstream which in turn will help india on its way to achieving its ambitious 0 plus to gold. you know when energies created by blending fossil fuels it doesn't matter why this is done to generate or to disintegrate industrial waste dioxide is going to be released leading to a rise in temperature again the greenhouse gas turned into a valuable resource we found a company in switzerland that says this can be done and this is good news because the country is slowly out of foster and. white snow covered mountains and endless of slopes to ski on the iconic landscape of switzerland. but the winter wonderland us losing out fast to rising temperatures. and the past

almost 2 thirds of swiss territory was covered by snow now it's only about hoff winton's more often feels like spring now. that's why close to the city at a new technology is aiming to slam the brakes on climate change with c o 2 collected. one of these modules 1. 50 tons of c o 2 from the yeah yeah ok we have a team here to collect this so this is $900.00 tons of c o 2 a year from now. it is a few 1000 households or about $750.00 cars were moved to. the climb works collectors have only been in action for 3 years it's still an expensive technology but it's thought with time it will expand and become more

affordable the mechanism is straightforward like vacuum cleaner the collectors draw in the air inside heated filters then separate the c o 2 and the gases then stored. which adds a limit that's rising that i would have said but that's not to say that's all that he's. we don't so we really need to drastically would you our mission. if we if tomorrow we completely cut our emissions that would not be enough so we additionally need to as well as emissions reduction the really it's the news in this case after removing the gas it's just stored and sold to the greenhouse around the corner for one that weighs the carbon cycle is closed preventing more carbon dioxide getting into the atmosphere. indoor growing traditionally requires industrially produced a c o 2 to 30 life plants you can hear the gas here hissing through the pipes to

nourish them. having to climb works collectors only 300 meters away is a win win situation. the. 3rd saves runs all routes the fed also saying is fossil resources that you would need for industrial c o 2. when earth. and it also connects better with clients who are increasingly asking for sustainable products these days . climb works c o 2 costs the same as that which rules the used to buy from other suppliers but now the purified gas for his vegetarian is only the no way. 15 minutes away in half us will climb works. is also at the heart of an operation that researches here are capturing c o 2 and piping it into the reactor. in

this reactor we have hydrogen and carbon dioxide mixed there is a catalyst in the reactor and the. cassis reactor we call resay and water recently is the same thing as natural gas and you can do. anything with it you can do with natural gas which means heating cooking and driving. a full tank of natural gas gifts this car a range of 500 kilometers carbon neutral without causing additional emissions the technology is still in its infancy but it's backed by different funds and big companies from the auto and gas sector marcus fields the momentum is there for switzerland to reach its climate goals. while the hope is that we will be called the neutral as we want to be until 2050 we want to be carbon neutral

and we should start to actually implement it and the technology is all there and they are already competitive in comparison to conventional technologies new technologies are picking up speed in the fight against global warming they still need to become more affordable but if it all comes together there is hope the swiss mountains will keep their snow cover in the years to come. sustainable energy is central to a green economy and renewable energy resources like the some water and with a cut of the go option but they need to be streamlined to become more efficient and affordable for a balloon based startup has come up with new solutions using vind energy and they look very different from the wind farms we know off to the. time could help solve the energy problems of the future. it generates electricity

from wind power on a level that no wind turbine unit chief. to visit. and it's vision is to develop the technology and scale it up to rival today's wind turbines. starting small and have a long way to go. starting at. a telescopic aren't connected to the truck holds and guides the kite soon it should be able to climb hundreds of metres and fly. that's what the developers in berlin are currently working on. the big challenge is programming the computer so that it can steer the kite with these cables and. the generator that produces the electricity is in the truck under the cable drums they hope it will one day replace inefficient diesel generators.

turbines are fixed to the ground. the kites will be connected to a base station and fly up to 300 meters in the air the wind stronger and more steady at that height. their development laboratory is on the campus of the technical university of berlin. the engineers started experimenting with fabric kites in 2012. when the kite goes up the rope turns the generator drum and generates electricity. then the kite is pulled in again which consumes very little power it's like a yo yo going up and down. over all that creates a surplus of electricity. most of the time are spent doing calculations or in the workshop. they built the kite

and all the technology themselves and they're always having to redesign and optimize. as many mistakes as possible in as short a time as possible but only once it is what we have to lead out on the mistakes make a small. and that makes a product say. the last details for the wingtips right. the wingtips are also made of carbon fibers. the material is very light and stable . but it can't withstand everything. like the fabric the structures can survive a hard landing unscathed. they've been working on carbon fiber kite since 27 and have already spent over a 1000000 euros on prototypes. once

a week the developers drive down to the airfield they haven't made much progress with flying yet. they often start at midnight when there is more of a steady wind. we get more flying time and it gets less stressful so we can enjoy the fruits of our labor. the need to make the kite fully automated but the technology is not cooperating. from a bit off the bottom. after lots of tests the kite takes off steered by the cables and stabilized by a computer. now they have to program the computer to carry out flight maneuvers autonomous lee. trickiest phrase is when the kite is still really close to

its base the software has to be very precise little mistakes get punished in a big way but we've been practicing for so long that it's become routine. in the meantime they've managed to get the courage to fly as high as 30 meters. and it's hoped that in 2 years the kite will be producing electricity as it glides through the air above the wind turbines. last year delhi recorded its office in 21 years as the temperatures soar degrees socialist many wrestlers complained of a complete breakdown of conditioning systems and where they did run it seemed to be a double whammy conditioners themselves take up a huge amount of electricity and freeze greenhouse gases contributing to the drives and temperature and architectural firm in the city is making. by very renting the

air conditioner with. the members of the community invested are proud of their traditional art of pottery but it can only survive if they can successfully compete with cheap alternatives. that many people still professional where i live around 500 families make all different kinds of things. different. changes according to the season but whatever people order we can make it. just. as well traditionally he has been used around india for everything from holding drinking water to cooling hopes this heritage and the potential. of the urban material are inspiring architects across the country mohnish city put up who runs

an studio in new delhi he's going back to the basics on his quest to find cheap and energy efficient solutions for arbonne architecture. as a kid i always used to like breaking things putting them together or trying to make something out of it that someone translated into even in college. i was very active member of this installation society we used to make art installations and then like coming up with. mechanic forms and stuff because apart from architectural problems a few should do so that's how it started with my interaction with art the manager over the last few years more nice has been working on a sustainable cooling system it's called a v high fouda and runs on minimal energy it doesn't expel heat the way modern air conditioned it's to it was 1st made to help workers in fact priests who were exposed to hot blasts of air from generator sets there are 600 employees working

that area and this is one billionth of right in the middle and in some other it's really impossible to stand in front of it and even work like i mean so when we started working on the project it was pink summers and i could not withstand the heat for the 110 minutes so often when installing the final beehive that you manufactured. we lifted for like a couple of us would want to help us and then we went back to see it off to a good amount of time the system was still intact and was working the people were like really happy about it the structure is based on biomimicry with a design inspired by the hexagonal cells of a beehive it is made of around $800.00 and pots recycled water is continuously pulled over the structure which evaporates and was the surrounding temperature. the last 15 years have seen some of the hottest summers the world over and india's capital new delhi is no exception as the city reels under crushing heat waves every

year indians who can afford it are turning to air conditioning and cooling systems . and studio displayed their latest installation at an exhibition by un d.p. which strives to fulfill to modern day requirements the terra cotta structure with water cools the air while the vertical garden helps tackle air pollution. for diminish kumar and his community the shift. has given them a fresh outlook they hope that the growing popularity of natural materials will boost to their earnings and improve their prospects of carrying on the profession of. recycling materials instead of manufacturing new ones every time is fundamental to the success of a green economy but recycling goes in taft. along design

a studio uses resources that otherwise end up in a rubbish like fables. and don't skim into fancy surfaces in homes and offices. it could be. said. anything that's incredibly humble that you have to look at with new on. form use your imagination and transform it into you know something that hasn't been thought about before. nature square develops ideas for new surfaces and their london studio so far over $3000.00. raw material is often waste like muscle shells or feathers from poultry farms.

and use them to develop their own creations or dream projects with other designers . like. hotel. made from egg shells. made from feathers for this car. the raw material is practically unrecognizable. i love watching other people reach that point oh this is a. looks like what is it. and the. surfaces are produced in the philippines where there's a long tradition of using organic materials for art because everything is handmade a square metre can end up costing around 2000 euros. what took was. people with existing skills and will developed to the level that they are at now which is

a level that nobody else in the. fall. the london design company seymour diamond is one of nature's squares clients they specialize in interior furnishing for mega yacht's company founder fiona diamond has been working with nature square for 15 years she likes their sustainable concept as well as the services themselves especially because they're made from simple materials somebody will immediately think luxury is something that shines it has some sparkle it's something that shows some kind of well and then you've got more of the organic luxury which is really something that gives you the texture the depth of the finish maybe the last of the subtle. rather than something that is quite so obvious. today designers all over the world are working with sustainable natural materials. in germany. uses fish leather for her label. and switzerland designer tanya shanker uses apple

leftovers for producing handbags. they're all interested in a new more sustainable concept of luxury. luxury is not just the rarity of something but it is the skill the heritage and the fact that with not getting a one off because of course you know you never repeats itself. using things that would otherwise be seen as waste an old idea which a growing number of designers are discovering for their sustainable creations. the businesses we do and to gauge which we need to be in tune with out and buy and sooner rather than later i hope why did you. the stalking point think about this this episode we'll see you again next week until then good bye.
