5:45 pm
it. the blonde non processes between $1.00 and $1.00 and a half tons of comma newer each day. a huge relief for the dairy farmers community leaders thing is that disposing of the dung is no longer a problem. it was really with on our way to santa fe call, little and then the thought we now collect common load from each house and processor to out i guess the out of the gas had delayed, can be used for cooking and electricity radiates is stored in a generator either one of the grandma's electors, didn't paula's $1250.00 street lights each night? is one of the gonna lemons out there. the little i had a good on the community used to pay up to 1700 yos for electricity. now it cost about a 3rd less pollution levels in the local water have also gone down the race from the bio gas blonde and done is
5:46 pm
a top quality for delighted high nitrogen compound, local farmers, a more than happy to take it. oh, come on, new isn't the only type of waste that can be used to generate electricity. carbon loops recently put a plant into operation in another municipality that addresses food waste and apparently $1.00 tons of wood brace from the market, including ritz delrays and hotel ford, which is collected and brought to this facility. again, we are processing it turned out by a gas plant lead and converting it into electricity. both by august, plants have the same effect, the protect the environment, and increase people's quality of life by producing energy and the former rice farmer. a peculiar sammy now works for the bio guess blonde in his community.
5:47 pm
the pilot now and the topic isn't manure. it's much easier. the fashion industry produces it every year, but a lot of it is discarded because it's either unused or damaged to bank of based on the panels are working to keep dead stock fabric out of the dump with a website that gives materials a new lease on life bags full of fabric that are like new but surplus to little to create a new collection, but to valuable to shred. the store room of tama one village ions garment factory is jam packed with them. over production is just part of the business model. every con, let me order to fat me for each particular order. we have to all ways on an expired presentation. just to be sure that we have enough fact me if the defect happen, or if fire nice i to chance on quantity off eyes. then we have enough to color
5:48 pm
to whole quantity. the young entrepreneur can't do much to change that. still for years, she looked for ways to solve her surplus fabric problem. then, 5 years ago, friends introduced her to financial manager. i'm on poll, who won on a man with a mission. i wanted to make a change in terms of waste management. and given that leah hinder digital ish, i think the best way to now manage to list and make it into a scalable business is through the internet. in 2018 in bangkok they founded more loop and online platform for fabric remnants assembly at clever concept. we like the abbey and b fossa fabric. so these quality fabri,
5:49 pm
we with sauce them from different warehouses. and then they would give us the data off f, abby and the sample. and then we basically put these on to the internet so that people can come and browse and shop online. but the business got off to a rocky start. few believed anyone could produce quality fashions from fabric remnants. after 4 months, the founders were ready to throw in the towel, but then they had the bright idea of creating their own collection. wendy, upon deals into the t shirt and easier to dana, to have a sense of quality than delay when they pass. if they showed off their t shirts at a trade show and sold out in just 2 days from then on, things went quickly at 1st, just 5 factories sold their surplus fabric to more loop. now, more than 70 textile producers and to remnants into the database,
5:50 pm
the selection is large enough to attract corporate clients. more loop now produces tailor made products for 150 companies like insurance firms, allianz. oh wow. i think it makes sense. instead of producing the new fabric, why don't we just use whatever that already available? and, and, and, and that's good because i, it means that i, you also help all the factory are in the country aswell. pilot, she's ordered 18000 polo shirts, masks and baseball caps all with the same design. right. that's a big challenge for the startup. oh, we have to make and match with many on different time, the different test on fact big because the quantity in to be an one left, all our family could offer the quantity. yet major clients overlooked
5:51 pm
these little differences to show their green credit as an additional service. more loop calculates how much c o 2 they've saved, depending on the color we've and production method of the chosen material. it's not just big companies who make purchases over more loop, so does young designer t i. e dot own murano, won all the bags and clothes. the boutique artist creates for her label. marianna z um are one of a kind. she adapt sir ideas to the materials, not the other way around. less i only can make on hand corner when, when, when can can oh, it's more like giving new life to unused fabric like, like why so it doesn't feel like 2nd hand fabric appointment. and the customers fail the same thing, can he back and think, and it's just re purposing packing and giving more value to the fabric one that the
5:52 pm
can time will a hassle pama one lisa. hi lisa. it's a win win situation. to date, more loop has saved some 500 tons of carbon dioxide. the equivalent of the c o 2 emitted during 5000000 kilometers of car travel. but that's still not enough to satisfy its founders. you want to be to pass off the global transition to a social i economy and we want to play that part. and we want to be part of making this new equilibrium a reality. their long term goal is to keep growing and get 500 textile firms putting fabric into the more loop. and they plan to offer more of their own products, along with t shirts, masks and p, p. now more loops, concept aims to prevent new waste, but or junk is often the legacy that simply ignored over the french capital
