in viruses business model used to sell the rafah beast if it meant more than 50 people in work here showing him it ever since he started walking with one virus of collecting i've been able to support my from line up and they get health insurance and had no problem paying for me children's education of. your with. rhonda is seen as the i.t. innovation harbin east africa that's why this sector is attractive to the younger generation it attracts people like that it we're all eric. he left school early but began collecting electronic quest when he was 17 now he has his own company employing 35 people. but you're going to. buy these electronics from different places and from people who don't need it yet but for us these electronics are valuable after collection we saw that electronic equipment to separate the ones which can be reused and resold after being repaired. if you did

mark the government wants to make sure the countryside doesn't get clogged up with a bundle in west so it has imposed strict regulation. as one day set up a horrible. technology we won't seduce developing in a sustainable way with the cream or his. her friend or technology because we want to see our countries developing but with minimal impact in terms of environmental consequences back at school the laptops are given to pupils for free. or since you have started using a computer. many things has changed this shouldn't have started to knowing that he did this source of information is and is not only they did a pretty they can no longer imagine life without them and they know these laptops won't go to waste but will be recycled so most to dance can benefit to. election

they cause a growing popularity in europe they are appalled to switch to renewables and he we've also looked many examples in cities too that's right sandra the problem is some people say electoral mobility is good for the environment while those points to the toxic substances contained in the car batteries until now only about a 3rd of those chemicals could be was separated and reclaim it but now a company in germany has this come about a way to push up the recycling efficiency considerably germany is car country statistically every 2nd president owns an automobile christiane harnish does to the engineer also knows that when old cars end up in the junkyard a mountain of scrap and waste is created harnish wants to salvage and recycle as much of the old cars as he can and he'd like to make

a living from it. christiane hunnish founded a small company that recycles car batteries it specializes in batteries for electric vehicles which contain a lot of valuable raw materials especially metals but it's not easy to extract them and it can also be dangerous. but that didn't discourage the businessman. the batteries are already out there so it makes sense to extract the raw materials and reuse them we saw the huge potential in that. 10 years ago the process engineer founded the dews infeld company this special shredder is at the heart of the firm it shreds the scrap batteries turning them into a granular. there's a good reason for the thick steel plates in the machine they protect the inner walls from the liquid components in the battery electrolyte which is highly explosive. finding a way to separate the electrolyte from other components was the biggest challenge

they took on is 10 years of drawing calculating and testing now the pure battery fluid flows into a steel tank this is the electrolyte fluid that no one else can do that the company sells it to the chemical industry the granulate from the scrap batteries lands in the sorting machine which results in a raised powder. at 1st glance it doesn't look like it's worth much. so i don't be fooled this is the fuel for electrum ability it contains lithium cobalt nickel and manganese and that's what we want to extract. to do that tarnish needed experts on chemical processes he found them at a university close by professor to be a overt knows exactly which acids can be used to extract the precious metals without dissolving them but isolating numerous metals from the grey powder is a challenge even for the specialist in hydro metallurgy he was so taken with the

idea that he became a partner at do's and felt. eventually a method was developed that breaks down the great powder step by step into its components cobalt sulfate lithium carbonate nickel sulfate and manganese sulfate. in this pure form the precious raw materials can be used in the production of batteries. the i wanted to keep the impact on nature as small as possible it's naturally desirable to keep the cycle of raw materials of smallest possible. the dues and failed company has proven that it can extract precious metals from batteries albeit on a small scale soon though these special shredders will be placed at various locations around europe. the aim is to sell not the recyclable powder but the precious metals for that a specialized chemical factories needed. and i didn't hear the anonyma lots of

thinking about it all but it's wonderful when you see that what you come up with is being put into effect. duzen felt as already reached a recycling rate of 91 percent per battery their standard is just 32 percent as a pioneer in recycling christiane hunnish has shown what's possible. that's a promising development for the emo billeted sector it's encouraging to know that people all over the world i working hard to reduce the amount of how we do to nature are 9 bombers i might report creature of the woman in ghana who is able to see beauty in things out others do not read seymour. oh. pretty cool earrings right well they're made from either west these country chairs are also called just like these funky coffee table design

a painting turns trash into treasure she finds a role maturing into art and both grow she a prince dumpsite for electronic waste it's a place where old computers and keyboards wind up along with stacks of car tires the smell of burning rubber fills the air a lot of people here farm the trash to recover pieces of coal part that they can sell on but much of the pain is not hunted. she's on the lookout for inspiration from the worst to get the positives for you so we might find a solution to this problem so not all small way to meet a good climate change who decided to come here pick the house for wings and also use a story. this scrap yard has an army not snake name and camera. it's about the size of 20 so cocky out which means there's plenty of material for my

children to sort through. she comes here several times a week and this time of these computer circuit boards have caught her eye out what's going to work with anything whether it's broken or is new or is all those black so it was as bad to be calling them once in a while commander so final when it's a whole story. the 1st stage of the transformation is a good clean then the material is cut into smaller pieces. and send it down to make smooth images finally matilda paint puts the finishing touches to how unique earrings. killed those projects require time and teamwork spaces obvious challenge will have the biggest piece so we can also employed more and we can do more. for us on the 2nd one is machinery as you

can see around we have just simple tools that work with what the team certainly isn't lacking is imagination they can try on all generate electric scrap into lampshades tables or clocks and matilda paint regularly exhibits have designs on conferences objects not only. opening to i think rather than take all this amazing stuff that all this money has been poured into and just create the world with it why not turn it into art a lot of places across the world were having a problem with an increase in ways i'd like managing the ways to getting rid of it . pain has won several awards. creative way of doing it for the environment and she has even bigger things planned for the company. we are looking not really able to and. therefore we would have to train more women

too which are into what we're doing now to be able to stuxnet or businesses who would also like to empower the youth expression which we come into print is like us for every item sold. already donates 5 percent of the money she mixed to the education of people like young girls she doesn't only want to bring these candidate i'd. back to life she also wants to give something back to society. a great idea for the environment and for education too if you have any more ideas why not contact on social media and show us what you've managed to do with your ways our military way i'm afraid it's time to say so long see you next week i just want to repeat one number from our show before you go 57000000000 u.s. dollars that is how much the world electronic waste was worth in 2019 so remember

that before you throw away your old phone in the trash it is a good buy for me. here in company uganda. if. the 1st thing. the fitness.
