2:00 pm
on d w ah ah, ah ah, this is the daily news i from the new under side is the euros fuel in increasing co infections. the world health organization says social distancing rules have been forgotten inside and outside the stadiums. so it's the continent, it's about to wake up to a massive post euros corona virus. hangover. also on the program criminals disrupt computer systems around the world and demand the $17000000.00 crypto currency ransom after hacking into a u. s. i t firm's management software. the us,
2:01 pm
so authorities to model the remaining portions of the collapsed florida tower block as a tropical storm approaches and controlled the sale. the president wants latest turkish mega project. he says building a new canal through its temple will boost revenue this temples mass says it threatens the city's life. ah, i'm so gale. welcome to the program. how that's a warning that the european football championships could speed the spread of the corona virus. delta variant games have been taking place all over the continent with massive stadiums at all. and near full capacity, scientists say the tournaments already driving an increase in infections,
2:02 pm
and more than 60 percent of people in europe, a still unvaccinated. the joy of euro 2020, summed up by scotland fans, they will you forage when their team and appoints against arch rivals, england at wembley. the tournament came to an end soon after, and there was another thing in the tail of cove it outbreak on and off the pitch scotlands midfielder billy gilmore tested positive, forcing him into quarantine, a post game chatman, england's bench hill. well and mason mount also had to isolate even more worryingly . it was later revealed almost 1300 scottish fans were infectious. when they went to london, the wealth health organization said support is traveling to gain is a recipe for disaster. how are people getting the other traveling and large crowded convoys of buses? are they taking individual measures when they're doing that?
2:03 pm
what's happening after the games? when people leave the stadiums, are they going into crowded balls and puffs to watch the matches? if this mixing is happening among people who are not fully vaccinated, and there is the presence of the virus, there will be cases. this problem isn't restricted to the k finish authority, say at least 300 fans were infected while following their national theme. mostly the 2 matches in st. petersburg that's contributed to a sharp rise in new cases at home. but despite these connections between euro 2020 and covey, the outbreaks you wafer is pressing ahead with increased stadium capacity for the semi finals and final, at wembley. and politicians in several countries are furious. german interior minutes to host the accused, the governing body of putting profits over public health issue to think that you wait for the position is utterly irresponsible. absolute for on for
2:04 pm
them to us and to put more associations say clearly we don't want it this way. we're reducing the numbers of spectators at wembley on sunday, one group of fans will be celebrating their countries great sporting success. but without further restrictions in london, fears of a coven hangover will only rise. that's often dr. chris smith is a consultant. there are just at the university of cambridge, he also presents the naked scientists podcast. welcome to dw, do you share the w h o concerns about the, the euros potentially increasing covert infections across the content? the current of ours is a re spirit tree infection and it spreads by close contact with an infected person and an uninvited person who susceptible to the infection. and any kind of contact between people will increase the risk of more cases. and so if you have mass
2:05 pm
gatherings, you will get more context between people and you will get more cases. but really, the question boils down to what level of risk are we willing to tolerate? and at what point will we regard ourselves a sufficiently safe that we will regard x and events like this mess gatherings for football matches to be so. and really that's what it boils down to. and it's up to policymakers to come up with policies that they think of safe then the rest of us follow. it's already down for the football association to come up with the rule. so let's, let's, let's look at that because you bring me onto my next point that you're sitting there in the country with a high rate of vaccination which is not seeing fewer covert depth. so you have a health accuracy there who says that, given those circumstances, covey should not be treated like something like the the flu is that is he writes, in your opinion, will influence results or spiritual infection that makes
2:06 pm
a grand tour of the globe every year arriving in most countries in line with their winter and causing seasonal outbreaks, occasionally, it also causes pandemic. and then those pandemic turned into evolving seasonal outbreaks. after that, we have a surveillance program. it keeps knowing where flu is going around the world and then updates the vaccines. we have to make sure that those vaccines are still current and will work against the circulating strains of the flu. so in many respects it's a really good analog of where we see ourselves with the current of ours going forward because this is a respiratory infection. it probably will become a seasonal infection. it will serge in winter and then disappear in summer for the same reason the flu does. and it will evolve as it goes around the world. and as it evolved, it means that it may change in such a way that we have to update the vaccine. so i think regarding this as a flu like illness obits at the moment causing us more of a headache than flu does. but in the future, it will probably be less of a headache than the annual flu search is probably a good way to go. we can use the learning we have from how we cope with flu and
2:07 pm
combat and control flu and apply that to current of ours going forward. and are we? yes, as a point with corona, virus, vaccines where we can tweak it to take in the variance because we are seeing variance and health authorities around the world are worried about these variances concern. the bank seems fortunately oh, very easy to update and change to reflect changes to the virus because of ours is change. and we had anticipated that this one would be no exception and would change over, mutate and it has done. luckily, vaccines can be changed easily. what can't be done easily is to roll out those vaccines to the 1000000000 people on earth every time we want to update the vaccine . so really the needs to be a real push quickly now to catch up to get as many people protected as possible and drive down the amounts of viruses, circulating establishing a degree of immunity and protection in the population. and then we top that up on perhaps an annual buy on your policy for 5 yearly basis,
2:08 pm
depending upon how immunity lost in response to vaccination. what the bars is doing to keep the most vulnerable people protected. but at the moment, the vaccines do work, they work incredibly well. and if you look at the, the way the curves, the diverging on the graph between where we were in january with a certain level of cases translating into a predictable number of hospitalizations and deaths. that has now been broken, so a very significant number of cases, but they are not translating into casualties. ok, good talking to that's very clear. thank you so much. smith consulting. we are ologist at the university of cambridge. well, israel has seen the corona virus case is search by 50 percent over the last week and increase being blamed on the delta variant. israel was one of the 1st countries to reopen after lockdown and almost 2 thirds of its population of had at least one jap, now, authorities according on young people to get vaccinated in order to avoid the return of koby restrictions. they w. tonya kramer reports from foster bar,
2:09 pm
the adam good. he's taking his daughter's leah and to get vaccinated. more and more young israel is age 12 to 15. and now getting there, jump like here at this small clinic and class saba. not least because of the fast spreading delta variant. and because many have plans for this summer. i think it's really good. it gives us much more freedom and it's nice to find the, you know, corona's over soon, hopefully. and yeah, i think it's important. it's still not stat old because the countries have still not, and not all of the countries have gotten the have gotten the opportunity to have the vaccines, but hopefully we'll be able to go down to the very end. has driven infections to levels not seen in israel. since april, mainly among unvaccinated people,
2:10 pm
because we still have a nice amount of people vaccinated young people that can see here, very increasing affects nathan, them. young people that can be vaccinated and we still see a portion of the elderly people and not feel vaccinated for various reasons. some vaccination people also have been infected, for now the number needing hospital treatment remains low, although the figures are rising. so we do see people who actually acquired the delta after being immunized and they can turn smit it yet. there are chances to be severely ill to be hospitalized or to die or slim. so we, we definitely see a very important role for the innovation and use railey government is pushing for 12 to 15 year old to be a non lated. now with the bio tech 5 vaccine prime minister enough, talley bennett is appealing to young people directly. and you know, that come up with some of the guys that the,
2:11 pm
i know how much you want to enjoy the summer. and you can, i also have 4 kids your age and they to want to enjoy the summer. in that we don't want to impose any restrictions on anyone, no bands on parties or trips, no bubbles, nothing. you need to talk to your parents and get vaccinated. so that we have a wonderful summer with no closures and no restrictions about israel has re imposed an indoor mosque mandate and tightened controls at the main international airport. full goodbye is relieved that his teenage daughters and now protected. it was somewhat of a difficult decision because there are a lot of unknowns, but there are a lot of unknowns in parenting. how long do you give them on the i pad. what time should they go to bed? what food should they? what i know is that the vaccine work, these are all had big problems with the pandemic. and since everyone's got vaccinated over the age of 16, the problems of all but disappeared further restrictions might be imposed just to
2:12 pm
delta variant continues to spread. but for now, israel aims to get most youngsters over 12 fully vaccinated before some of its doses expire later this month. i think it's more so it is making headlines around the world. hunger is prime minister having to or about has placed a full page ad attacking the e u in germany's best selling a tabloid newspaper. built the ad which passed his signature accuse his brussels and building an unauthorized super state and says, you citizens must be safe for what he calls the dangerous challenge of migration is about his place to a similar as in other leading european newspapers, homeless african president, jacob, summa is defying a court deadline to surrender to authorities. it was found guilty of contempt last week for refusing to attend to hearing and a corruption inquiry, and sentenced to 15 months in prison. but is appealing at least one person
2:13 pm
has been killed and doesn't injured after a massive explosion at a factory making phone and plastic pallets on the outskirts of bank car, dozens of homes were also damaged authorities, aboard the evacuation of the area around the plant may 5th at leaking chemicals, could cause more explosions. julia has sworn in an assembly to just a new national constitution. it will replace the legal framework from the era of ministry. dictator, august of peterson process was delayed, as protested class with police on the streets of 70 aga, demanding freedom for people in prison during social arrests. 2 years ago. the criminal gan behind the latest massive ransomware attack is demanding $70000000.00 in crypto currency. this hack is exploited vulnerabilities in software. money management software made by u. s. i t firm casea and infected thousands of computers in at least 17 countries.
2:14 pm
both of swedish grocery chain co ops at $800.00 stores were forced to close on friday after the attack block access to its check out cybersecurity experts and linking this attack to an affiliate of the and re evil guy, which is best known for extorting $11000000.00 in meet packet j b. s. in may. we can take a closer look at this research upon the chem beula from de w business who has been following the story welcome to ponder. so what are these i must say about right are evil, is i always it revel. i think it's pronounced evil. evil. i prefer evil, but we'll get with what you say, reboot well, these reasonable people holding hostage that companies would pay $70000000.00 to get back. well, apparently, cuz they had said that 40 companies were targeted or where actually reached and this attack. and essentially what revival or revel whatever you wanna call it has
2:15 pm
done is what they did, or the people affiliated with rebel. they took data from these companies, encrypted it and now they're holding onto it. so basically they have information that these companies might need for. they are, you know, regular runnings and operations and they're holding onto it until they're a paid $70000000.00, which is basically runs down. so they are holding onto this data as you know, as like a half days, right? base. okay, so, and this is, this is a big deal so big in fact that you as president joe biden has weighed in on this. let's hear from him and come back to you. the fact is, tell me a deep dive on what's happened and i'll know better tomorrow. and if it is either with the knowledge of and or consequence of russia, and we will respond to some serious poundage umbrella. tell us more
2:16 pm
than about to the people behind this attack. well, it is said to be an affiliate of revel which was involved in the colonial pipeline as hack. and also the g v. s one and in those both and bills run from where attacks the companies that were involved paid the ransoms. so obviously the next one which is much higher significantly higher than the $11000000.00 that j b s paid would be of course a surprise. and so that's why it is attractive, perhaps for these companies and gangs to get more, you know, as much as they can in terms of money and they are from russia, supposedly, at least in the 1st cases they were and experts i saying that it is a rush and gang affiliated with rebel that is involved in this attack. of course, it points to the methods used and also the payment be asking for payments in bitcoin, which is similar to what happened about those $2.00 shooter tax and may as well
2:17 pm
with colonial pipeline early may and j b s at the end of may give, let's talk about those good. i mean, when you mentioned the colonial pipeline that the j b. s, we had a whole city of municipalities close down by the cyber attacks. always seeing more of them and what if so why? well, obviously we rely heavily on computer infrastructure and software and a little bit softwares in the cloud. in terms of the attack that we've seen, which is affected like 40 comes in 17 countries. what you have is essentially these companies are using a software that is provided by keys. they are, when these run some of these hackers, basically when they target certain vulnerabilities, that means they can, you know, reach a bigger group of people because of course, that or companies that software is not specific to one company. it's specific to more than one user. and that makes it easier. another another reason is, of course, the pandemic people working from home. and then of course vulnerabilities,
2:18 pm
even if you have like an anti virus software on your home computer. it's easy to exploit that because of course, different networks that are involved as a result of that. so those are all vanderbilt is that are also happening as a result of the pandemic. ok. and she ponder a chamberlain from dataflow business. thank you. saying in the united states because of a cruise of resumed work at the sight of a collapse department town in surfside, florida, just hours after possibly remaining structure was demolished, authorities decides to bring the demolition forward as tropical storm elsa approaches 24 bodies have been found search crews are still trying to locate 121 missing people. the width carefully placed explosives, demolition teams brought down what had remained of champlain tower style damaged and unstable. after last month's initial collapse, they were fears the structure might not withstand the winds of an oncoming tropical
2:19 pm
storm. pudding. rescuers lives at risk. yes. exactly. what happened? it clean. there wasn't anything about your bree on college. was amazing. we were able to get out there really clear for the crew to get back out on the rescue efforts had been paused for much of the weekend over concerns about the shaky structure with the building down teams can now search areas that were previously inaccessible. i still believe because it's building with the building, the hand playing our search effort really. we were stuck that we couldn't get to a certain part of the tiles. i heard them say that voice in the area areas where they'll be able to search. i'm excited at this stage,
2:20 pm
few expect any survivors to be pulled from the rubble, but with work at their site, resumed, the anguished families waiting for news of their loved ones may soon have some closure. so stories making headlines around the world, emergency officials in as a, by john massive explosion on sunday, near a natural gas field. and the caspian sea was caused by a mud volcano eruption still smoldering off the coast of the city of back and say there is no danger to human life or to the areas oil and gas infrastructure. 1000 rescue is trying to locate dozens of people. thing after a massive landslide in japan, mud and flood waters talk through the si size, 50 of a tommy, about the 100 kilometers from tow. here at least 3 people confirm that the vatican says pro francis is alert and well following surgery at the hospital in row. a spokesman said the pope underwent
2:21 pm
a 3 hour operation that removes half his coat on the 1st time. the 84 year old is known to have been hospitalized since he was elected in 203070 to turkey were present early on, is famously fond of mega building projects. and he's recently launched his biggest and boldest, yet was complete. the tambo canal will run for 45 kilometers parallel to the bus for a straight, connecting the black fi to the mediterranean. it also provide a new route for the tankers and the government hopes boost turkeys revenues. but as d w uli hung reports it's critic site, the multi $1000000000.00 project is too costly, given tickets, economic struggles, and it's likely to be environmental disaster. these are the 1st scopes of dirt, also colossal project that could change east and move the graphy forever. a
2:22 pm
man made waterway that will flow through new urban districts with new settlements for hundreds of thousands of people. the canal is symbol is the largest infrastructure project hook he has ever seen. it's long been a dream of president ridge of type out once again. today we're starting a new page in the history of turkey's development. today we are adding a new step to the path of progress for our country, the strengthening of our nation. any, anything that i do that the controversial project is pitting turkeys president against stumbles, mia car, she's, we are against it because it threatens is stumble completely, its water, its nature, its security and earthquake safety it threatens life. in this case that make the according to polls that's of you shared by a majority of the cities residents. thank you. to teach for my future. i say no
2:23 pm
for my kids. i say no for my grandchildren. i know that i'm against investing billions of lira and in such a project they insist on the canal and we will insist on stopping them again. but why is the canal so unpopular and why does ad on want to build it? any way to understand why the turkish government wants and you can now, you have to look at the one that's already that the bus for us. it's one of the world's busiest shipping lanes. more ships trends at the ball rose than the susan panama canal, combined to many according to the turkish president, he says a 2nd, waterways needed to prevent accidents like these. the 45 kilometer long camel has an official price. take a $15000000000.00. chips like these, the government argues,
2:24 pm
will no longer have to wait days to enter the boss for us. and turkey will collect fees on that. but critics, a president ad one's dream is an environmental nightmare. the canal will cut through agricultural land and forests, often refer to as one of the few remaining green lungs of a stumble. it threatens marine ecosystems and crucial water reservoir, where they did not wash the canal with stone from this lagoon and run through the saddler. dara dam, which is an important source of fresh water placed on board. the city is already struggling, opening new areas for real estate development, bringing new population and destroying everything natural will make the city uninhabitable long holidays to reject. the president, however, hopes to boost the construction sector, create thousands of jobs and turn the gears of an ailing economy. the louder the opposing voices grow. we've seen the more determined he is to proceed.
2:25 pm
well they w correspondent, julia han, and campbell told me more about president one determination to push ahead with this while president ad one has long been known for his love of big infrastructure, a massive new airport here and is to bull a 3rd bridge crossing the boss for us, and these projects have defined his legacy of the credit driven growth and his image as a man of action now can now is symbol is his biggest and maybe his most controversial project so far. why did he launch it now? well, one of the arguments is that he is trying to use the project and the promises that come with it. jobs revenues for investment to mobilize his voter base because according to polls support for the president and for his islam is rooted a k p is at his tory globe right now. and this is because there is widespread unhappiness here in the country with the turkish economy. so this is one of the
2:26 pm
arguments, although i have to mention that elections aren't scheduled until 2023, but they're all called for snap elections. and the economy is ad one's weak spot. julia ha, in sport, banner o'connor has one stage 9 of cycling tour de france, but he fell short of taking the yellow jersey heels trailing unconquered sunday's tough manager and finish on the 2nd in the row. standing behind defending champion today for gotcha. today is a rest day ahead of stage 10. last year's run up. pretty much ro glitch pulled out of the right after falling while behind the main contenders this lavine and had been struggling after being injured in a crash earlier this week. finally to china where one determined youngster was intent on not letting nap time interfere with playtime. this young elephant thought of a wild, her migrating hundreds of kilometers to southwest of china, just couldn't seem to let the others get some badly navy shot. i insisting they get
2:27 pm
up and play. but neither nudges nor rubs. were able to rouse his fellow travelers eventually pay to give up thought down and curled up something that's a friend who bought off the top of the printer unions have another severe to cheer up to date, more world news or the top of the, our eco indian is next, have a good day. eco. the news. the news news news
2:28 pm
news the, the india ah, this is where the bio fuel and styles fertilizers provide in his future for thousands of families. it's not a farming, profitable business with exciting growth potential use. next on dw,
2:29 pm
ah, the news ready to do these places in europe are smashing all the records into a venture. just don't lose your grip. the treasure map for modern globe trotter's cover. some of us are wicker breaking site and also in book form. the little guys, this is a 77 percent the platform for african used to be issues and share ideas. you know, we are not afraid to capture and africa population is moving fast.
2:30 pm
and young people clearly have the solutions. the future is the 7 percent. now every return on the w me the me, 70 percent of the software is coupled with ocean and yet we often fail to take care of it damaging or fishing, or turning it into a dump of rubbish. they only go india. let's look at some innovations that will help us heal our relationship with our options. hello and welcome funds that are
2:31 pm
the oceans already offer of solutions on how to cope with climate change. cd for example, is able to absorb carbon dioxide is also feature the super food a bow for to life and has multiple other commercial uses. we visited the southern most people, india with see the farming has generated thousands of jobs and is helping empower. it's a lot of women, the loo concilium to where none from a very early age about the potential for earning money from c. v. off to her father, her mother used to own cd fun to keep the family afloat ah monday, and i'm much because of this job that we were able to finish school, helped fund me and my brother's education,
2:32 pm
but he both graduated liter. see the farming i've read for everyone down to the seashore, we'll definitely on a 1000 bucks at la. resting and selling while c mean has long been a traditional income supplement for people like a family here on india, south east coast. since the 1990, however, c v firm had taken on industrial proportions at the central solar marine chemical research institute scientists group on on it's about on teamed up with local fishermen to create a straightforward method for farming the camp. in one monday. in monday, we focused mainly on technical development for the cultivation of economically important. see, we know that we develop the 1st viable technique, fucked up a focus in india. it is the only cv commercially cultivated in the country. the record in india, the c. v grows on bamboo routes that are floated
2:33 pm
a few meters onto the see young plans that are attached in a series of rooms. and after taking root will grow by up to 60 centimeters a day. busy one at the same time, absorbing carbon dioxide. within a few weeks. they are ready for harvest. ah, and then the real money get 9 get when he gets a lot of money. first me check on this really be when will bring your amazon i did on the policy or if it's one rather one you don't get much. last now we tried to multiply one wrapped into the wall. so on little bit, i'll talk about it a little bit deeper into my brain laquanda. the families here used to live primarily on fish, which was done by the men. a sufficient stalks dwindled. many people decided to leave home. and the reason large scale tv fun. however, provided entirely new opportunities when we introduced us even when we introduced commercial c, v called division in 2004. there are more than over 900 families had migrated
2:34 pm
from fuko de ram and not to put them district. the editor auditable to secure their livelihood off in cities. but they've all since returned and started cv called division back. now they are enjoying a sound income of more than $20000.00 group b spoke person month to month. ah, the c v harvest sold to companies based in the area being done, produced in extract called got r geena, which is useful to variety of industrial products, gelatin, for example, features and everything from suit taken to cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. with the c, we can also be used as a fertilizer and for animal for the i. but here to global warming is having an impact. rising water temperatures in any has been like the plans dying off in mars. in 2013, the stocks have
2:35 pm
a still to recover from the devastation. i love it, and the reason the reason we saw increased mortality at the time was because of climate change. if we had used the same material for more than 20 on the and then the growth stopped because it has vegetative reproduction. because we have gone down from the 2000 pounds a year to let them know that on the, on the, on the water becomes especially long between march in july, the echo go the company. and therefore, looking for new ways of cultivating again among the more promising solutions is one seen in indonesia. there the pharma still further out to see where the water is cool and the c. v grows better. but here in dumb and non there still waiting for government permission to relocate the crops, ah, global demand, just continue to run. also deceives potential as
2:36 pm
a sustainable food source. ah, if you will, according to the 2019 s e or the board, 55 percent more food production is required in india. but we are using only 5 percent of the c. and as far as india is concerned, we are using less than 0 point one percent of the c. b does. less than the form i called earlier to read is confident of being able to increase her income with the new farming methods me. i'm still farming with all my heart, but i want to build my own house or not. and so i refund you to do the lead me over cutting. tell them families in time and not now live off. see the fun and the women will soon be learning how to process the algae to providing
2:37 pm
another welcome stream of income. if the crypt pacific garbage patch is anything to go by the already made a mess in our oceans by dumping millions of tons of plastic. but what's been, tony can also be taken out and re used, at least that's what we're told in our next report, we're taking a look to see if that's really possible. saving the ocean by buying new recycle products. for example, with these brilliance right? right now and at scale there's no such thing as recycling to ocean. so is recycling ocean plastic actually doable? or is it just another allows the greenwashing method that companies brought up
2:38 pm
if you go shopping, so they recycle products are literally everywhere. and the holy grail is recycled products from the ocean? yeah, coca cola love to use maria plastic for their marketing as well. with the ocean sugar sneaker. i mean these as really make me believe that i can save the ocean by drinking a coke or buying a new sneak. but once you start looking into it, there isn't really that much collecting of actual ocean plastic going on. the once plastic lands in the ocean, you have a really hard time getting it out again. even me other stuff. sure you can deploy boats that fish for plastic, but this is all very expensive. and relative to the millions of tons of plastic that are already in the ocean, most most only retrieve 2 tons maximum per day. even projects best buy
2:39 pm
millions of dollars struggle this to plus supposed to get rid of 90 percent of plastic in the ocean. but it didn't work and the focus was shifted to rivers and that once you get the plastics out of the ocean, you will have dozens of different types of plastic to sort of like the last fishing net that professor gillian gac had tried to recycle for research project this is pre sorted, but it's still a mess. we need to separate it further. we'll take the blue ones, we. let's put blue on the left hand side. sorting these mess according to their color is one thing, but they also need to be cut down to recycle them. but these really won't give up easily. especially because ocean plastic
2:40 pm
has been degraded by sold and sunlight so it loses a lot of its original quality. next step would be get rid of dirt or even a tiny amount of sam see we'd or shells can make plastic non recycle round about 5 percent. every site that can work with. so if we give them the material to somebody who makes pallets out of it, they say not more than 5 percent pretty. that's pretty clean. even when paint industrially sand can still be found on the microscopic level, which is why in a lot of cases, products contain a mix of ocean plastic and other recycled material. the ocean plastic can only be a tiny, tiny fraction of this blend,
2:41 pm
but the still look like ah, all of these products with nylon from even the company markets. it's like it's made from actual marine letters such as this garden fishing net known as ghost things that market has made from it, which are made from marine lips are made from both here and there in literally no go scam a product or very, very, very little less than a percent, less than a per mill, maybe environmental scientist has been in contact with those several times about it's problematic messaging in an email it camille told me that ocean plastic only represents a small part of the young for our next recycling step,
2:42 pm
we had to use material prepared by professor getting gecko. otherwise we would have been cutting here for days. these plastic pallor has been turned into a letter opener. so this is the final soda. and after all these steps you have just seen with us, you can imagine how expensive touch are opener, than in the end is i would say one down about 2000. 0 means it's really each step 10. which these products are they are made in. the same price as non ocean plastic products to this only work by using very little plastic or plastic that haven't actually been in the ocean right now. and that scale, there's no such thing as recycled. ocean plastic. this is roughly showing an
2:43 pm
international distribution for something called ocean bound plastic. that term refers to plastic waste that is found within 50 kilometers of coastlines, and is likely to end up in the ocean. it's applies exclusively to countries with poor waste management systems. and when you think a little old way, way deeper to find a lot on companies website, land based ocean bound plastic every well let's look at prices puts on for the virgin plastic cost, 762 euros and recycled plastic goes for about $870.00 euros ocean found plastic is around $920.00 zeros. this seems relatively affordable compared to the actual ocean plastic. judging from the 200 euro letter opener. so production costs are likely to be much higher if real ocean
2:44 pm
