[000:00:00;00] ah, where them is left to will food? plastic packaging a broken appliances or waste is binding up, disposing of it properly is often a problem. however, it's our responsibility to keep the earth clean. there are different ways of doing that. let's explore some of them on to be of sure. hello, welcome to eco india. i'm funneled that a lot. all of our waste ends up in landfills and scrap yards too much of it. pollutes are, sees and rivers that are initiatives trying to change that along the ganges river. gordon. india,

for example. a company from germany is trying to help. ah ah, every you millions of pilgrims and tourists visit them. any bathing guards by the river ganges. invite on a c in the eastern part of the indian state of that release. during the day they were teased, dick dips in the river and light lamps at night. large crowds gathered to watch the daily ard, the ot bread for the 450000000 people who live in its base in the ganges as an essential water source that has become severely polluted, injuries and decades bought by laser gun novel of been the ganges used to overflow during the monsoon, i would take a dupe in it all, but now that it's so polluted i don't b than it fire, this is the a seat of a. this is 600 years old for grammar year. now people have turned it into a dream hurricane. many officers come and go,

but no one is to any action. again. i know from the main causes of pollution in the ganges is raised to generated by industry, households and tourism. a large portion of it enters that it will from smaller tributaries such as the i see the at the confluence of these 2. what is the pollution is even visible to the naked eye as it flows from the cd over into the gantt jews, rameses popularity as a total destination, and its growing population have led to increasing amounts of plastic being dumped into its reverse providence. i got to godaddy. well, the goldman garbage collector comes by you breeding, but not all households for the sum, throw the trash out of the back, those and into the street. got to get that. people also throw plastic bags, god be, and indeed dead animals. and what i'd like to mutter would work with us were

believing that i will not impact that they go back. in 2014, the indian government launched a 2500000 euro plan calling the mommy gung meaning sacred ganges to clean up the river. with funding from this program, the company, plastic fisher, is deploying waterfalls, trash rooms to trap plastic and again distributed east rich ships and leads a 14 member themed who have been installing the trash booms across the a cd over the mostly the tries, which we are collecting from the trash boom is non recyclable. trash. which influenced emily be single use plastic, panama call of. and then there is some portion of it which is bed boxes. h d, b, l d b. some are both standard clippers, sometimes weird stuff like electronically via phone tv, the tv sets in dragons as well. i see the will have become so far looted with

garbage, that it is now called the a c na, la, the drain. it is estimated that nearly $215.00 tons of plastic raised equivalent to the rate of $79.00 elephants and up in the river ganges each day. plastic res dumbed into the ganges and its many smaller debris. damages that he was marine ecosystem and the health of millions of people who live along this 2500 kilometer land. but the damage is not limited to the river itself. there are micro classics which are generated because of the rig donald, the plastic that are you. so for example, if you throw up on it in bag or you know, plastic bucket, eventually they'll break down to smaller box. and, you know, kind of, if you look at the got into, you know, kind of the soldiers just happened much plastic has been found in air. what those mean? human bodies in a vegetable plastic fisher says that it's trash forms collect between 200 to 300

kilograms of plastic, from the to reverse environment. see each date, the company's trying to address the problem of plastic dumping it began. distribute trees. these tend to be much natalie than the main river, which makes trapping waste easier. the littering issue. i mean there has been constant effort from the government and from us as well. we do every sunday, we are doing this in this drive on the banks of ganga. about 100 people participate . the event is raising campaign does more than pete about pollution. while india speak trash from the bank of the ganges, which both help them understand the extent of the problem and cleans up the river banks, actually has worked for the german firm for 9 months. doing so has helped change his views on his own household. i have change and i keep a garbage can at home. i sweep up my trash and throw it into the garbage and only

give it to the garbage collectors will come what a home that i validate the garbage collectors, sword and b, the trash then shipper to off through their recycling partner for the hud mile recovery plastic fisher says that since it's dark in 2021, it has collected $47.00 tons of plastic leased from bought on a c, all of which would otherwise have ended up in the ganges. such small scale solutions can prove crucial for me to getting the growing presence of micro plastics. and again, just beasen, as well as the oceans. why you might think of green energy as sustainable. it also leads to whist pick wind turbines. europe will have to dismantle nearly 12000 kilobytes by 2024. normally, the materials would end up in scrap yards, but in poland, designers have found a normal route to reach them. these wind turbines are

more than 20 years old compared to modern ones. they're small and inefficient, so they're being torn down. so what happens to these green energy giants at the end of their lifespan? the blades, especially, are made of composites and plastics. instead of recycling them a lot ends up in landfills for incinerated in the kilns of cement and steel factories for some years. now, facilities that insinuate them aren't really happy about it and that's down to the physics of the combustion process. last fall, the glass fibers bonded with residence which come up the kiln and the ash on die. so quite apart from the environment, luna sank on. it's just not an ideal solution. 0 leash, you lose own. and recycling is only just getting off the ground. it's only recently that wind turbine manufacturers have had the wind to waste problem on

their radar. that often leads to situations like this on this green field decommission turbine blades are dismantled for the scrapyard. one company near the polish city of rod suave has come up with a solution unmet takes old turbine blades from germany and turns them into furniture. the plains of the 12 meters long are 1st saw into sections sanded and painted. they get a new life is outdoor furniture, chairs, benches, and tables. accented with top quality, large wood students from the university of shalana gotta come up with the designs. they're thrilled that their products are being bought by customers around the world. of course we can use it inside,

but i think outside is am is by the right to to use this material. because it's water proof is damaged grove, a foot bridge, another of unmet novel recycling ideas. the rotor blades were transformed into the support for a pedestrian bridge. it's the brain child of engineer on j. r. done show. for him. old blades are not hazardous waste, but a resource spout. shamiqua news me ions go to the far example. we don't try to change the shape of the rotor of yeah, we turn it into a sculpture or that doesn't blades me go. is going to be monumental. i really big so that it was really wild. your bush bunge. it'll be on a little jacket avenue on place novel of runs and online shop wings for living. that's the exclusive retailer. there's even an app to let you see what the furniture would look like in your garden shed novel and his counterparts in poland

are good friends. a garden bench like this can easily cost 1500 euros. we're aiming to be a small and stylish brand, to that. that helps raise awareness of the problem and also shows that old discarded objects can be turned into beautiful and unique furnishings. the movie boy, his friends and poland are constantly coming up with innovative designs. like a rotor wing transformed into a wine cellar. when it comes to up cycling the sky's the limit. and there is no shortage of turbine blades that need re purposing. will. the new generation of wind turbines are bigger and more powerful. modern turbines are temples of high tech filled to the brim with electronic components. and they promised to help solve the wind to waste problem. in 30 or 40 years, when these turbines go offline,

they'll be more easily recycled into valuable raw materials. elena ha, yesterday about the all big manufacturers are working on producing their components and so that they'll be easier to recycle. meaning in a way that's environmentally sustainable energy saving and cost saving meat in a g intensive me cost until 100 percent recyclable turbine blades are the wave of the future. germany, for example, plants to install $1500.00 new wind turbines a year. in a few decades, their aging blades will be mined for valuable raw materials, decimal and made of plastic sashes. these little packets might be handy, but they quickly land in the garbage bin and they don't roles. in all web special, we chant the journey of such a sachet from the origins of the raw materials it's made from to its ends on the

rubbish heap. we find out why the number of such haze is growing and why they're so lucrative for businesses. and so disastrous for our planet. find out more at d, w dot com slash plastic. there's so much garbage that sometimes it can seem to be an insurmountable problem. recycling is one way of dealing with waste, but it's not always straightforward. and often it has to start at homes. so russia is preparing her family's beast for collection. left kitchen in the drive is from dinner with you since 2017 families and tony have been responsible for separating their own beast. this is the right, god. bless you, devine. and we give birth kitchen list here.

ah, this is a gun wash, intervene ready? it's dry again, keep it in the blanks tank enough. then your all and her family separate based into biodegradable or red based and dry recyclable based this is a left ranika, a dry base can be trashed altogether, but sweater and her mother a part of a project trying to separate dry beast further. i was separating dry inmate, and when he had met on the water a little, i came to the new one lasting gets a really 2nd. for then i started, so segregating plastic, also. the family lives in an apartment in the city of tawny, on the edge of room by about a 3rd of the 300 households in that complex, regularly segregate that dry waist, and give it to the n g or summit. but at the us be, or s b, b, d, and your picks up the drivers from the complex every 2 weeks. residents can organize a pick up using

a smartphone at tony's municipal authorities gave the deals, initiative, project revitalization, and official license to operate in the city. thanks to its efforts, introducing the amount of non biodegradable waste that would otherwise end up in landfills. as b v chief executive bottle, southern says the project has grown in the last 4 and a half years. it now collects from over a $100000.00 households indian diatanni region. and so when they equal a mix, alo, ecology, alo, the issue of garbage is linked to many other questioner economical, ecological got social backgrounds on redwood and the most crucial being circular economy. so we felt that if you addressed the issue of garbage that then there is a possibility of addressing these related issues as well as law malagon or alumni. summit, part of the us beat runs project revitalization on a non profit model. it's sole source of revenue is owned by taking care of fanny's

horticultural based workers'. done wood from fell and trim trees into fuel brackets which are sold back to the tiny municipal cooperation for using their boilers the endure. augments this revenue with contributions from local residents. now the owner conveyor belt system to sought de growing amount of daily garbage. the single and multi layer plastics are used to make by your oil people waste disorder and compressed it is then sent to specialist professor 27. women handle the entire process. they used to work as we speakers at local dumping grounds. looking at the dumb caddied grave health risks, and there was no gad indeed and gum having a full time job. the deal allowed them to quit rather by one good. we would get injured a lot. our feet could get cut, our hands would get pierced by syringes,

nails and more. but we had to work that to an, a living that they own already at atlanta. for decades. solid base and india has primarily ended up in open dumping sites like these. a city of 3000000 people, tiny produces a little over a 1000 tons of waste every day. like many of india cities, it faces going heaps of garbage without defective segregation. natania municipal cooperation has sought to address this problem by making laws mandating composting of biodegradable beast within homes. but the cities efforts towards further segregation and recycling of dry waste are going slow. this is where project revitalization has filled the gap. it goes directly to citizens. tanny's municipal commission of been sharma believes that public private partnerships can help the seduce its trash. i think in put his progress he would laws on what enabling then warden, enforcing. so it's always citizens participation which makes

a loss accessible on unsuccessful summit. that'd be us beat also regularly holds bookshops for school children in tani solvent estimates. about $60000.00 children have attended workshops at his integrated waste management project. i think our uniqueness it. what's unique about our approach is that we go directly to the people and tell them that this is our collective responsibility, which we have to take care of. i mean, if they think of the environment as theirs, while things can change, it's almost me. but for those are a lot of southern smoke has gone of interest from neighboring cities like the industrial down of be monday. his team is already at work setting up the new blanked, the city has provided special trucks to help, but the pick up process. the mondays residence still have to learn to segregate least at home and then little by little southern stacks of sort of dry beast ready

for the cycling. when steady, negro, it's not just about what we do with what we truly education and awareness raising are important in combating the world's waste problem. in qana artists i using garbage itself to get the message out. typically, i'm okay with it for 10 years now. musician, david hubbard, c wells who goes by the name took the gonna, has been trying to mobilize people to clean up a crowd, get picking kid with global will listen to music that in and as tough in a day. a low voice would take a loaf. um, advice and all so his permission from music basically and also i see are

so so appealing to actually use for creating awareness for david qu morsey environmental activism is more than sitting in his small studio and sing every sunday he had to one of the beaches in the capital, a cra, he worked with a group of volunteers collecting the trash, cleaning up a single beach, takes hours. the volunteers sort the trash into different kinds of waste. then they sell it to recycling companies. actually speak louder than words, i believe. as a leader, i suppose to set the pace for others to follow. i say okay, i'm willing to do this and make sure my fonts and my relatives are not as in their community are janet also see the example? i'm trying to put us at my effort that the counsel john asked mika, jamika,

susceptible. as susie banton is another artist who collects trash here at the beach . in the midst of all, the plastic bottles to davy came across a brookins lateesha device from a fishing net, which he'll be able to put to good use. well, love this. i collect crush from the environment, the streets, and beaches. wherever i find i collect trash, and then i convert it into acts of visual arts. he lives in the city even prior soup, about 100 kilometers macro. he designs installations and collages the works pick up on themes from daily life in the country. this one includes part of the flotation device. my message also talks about how we have this dance our so from the environments go from a far distance. you see my way across a paint in wake of flats awake,

a very beautiful athletic. but when you get close to with mrs, when you realize that you see a whole lot of trash, bunton also teaches at a high school. gonna has recently incorporated environmental education into its regular curriculum. birth is or not in his classes or banton, teaches kids painting and talks about environmental topics that they future generation is the people who are willing to take good care of us when we are old and, and out of people who are going to really care what environments in the near future . so if we are not able to inculcate this type of idea in them, no grew up not to really understand and loved environment. absolutely, bunton sometimes takes the students on field trips to day. they're paying a visit to his gallery where he presents his own works. some of them have suit very well. now yes, david could see and contrast can't make a living just from his music meeting, but he has made

a difference. thanks to him and other volunteers across beaches are a little bit cleaner. now. god not got none and none, but didn't do it young. i mean on now there was no good with from ought to fashion one of the world's most polluting industries. it's estimated to be responsible for around 20 percent of global clean water pollution but by recycling and finding innovative new materials. next ties can also become more sustainable. take a look at some turkish fashion. designers who have come up with wedding, interesting ideas, renewable energies in synergy with innovative design, peer fashion designer to buy atkin is showcasing her collection in solar park in booster. in north western tacky,

a show full of energy from our there again the far we need to protect our core values. but modernize them get to get to make bonds. the time for that has come the famed for video. sustainability is also a key feature of eci gerstenhower designs. she's considered a bundle kid in the industry, a high flyer who already won international prices for her designs early on. if available giddily, selected me as the most visionary designer of to see my 1st diploma collection. oh, you'll always get as a young designer who's just starting out such an award, was of course a door opener, a copy of in him tonight. tuba again is considered a pioneer of sustainability on the turkish fashion, seen. she's been in the industry for over 20 years, best working for major fashion labels before launching her own brand. she experiments, choosing materials that aren't considered high quality, but rather industrial waste. she designed this back series made out of old car

tires. yeah, project or i could say that i lived with this material for about 5 years. different festival car tires are very interesting in terms of the material. as you can see here, they have their individual textures. yes. sometimes that are patches on the bargain . the i'm a little there aren't any of this one your former here. i combined them with leather idiolect on but i usually use vague and let authentic lenora etcher goose and is not content just to use recyclable materials. she wants to see a radical change in thinking. 5 years, she founded the distant institute, which aims to combine fashion, design, biotechnology and art. to reach her vision. she's entered into partnerships, working with biologists architects and artists to. but again, also believes that the time has come to rethink production processes in the fashion industry. info,

lot of people are more aware now they know more. we're just going through the processes that should have happened a long time ago. i cut it out, we're giving back everything we've taken from nature so far on data, right? it's how i defined by design. perhaps it's a kind of apology. at chic goose in and tuba atkin, a new generation design is putting sustainability at the center of their work living in a world where there's no risk that might be an illusion. but it's what pinking about how to live more resource efficiently and the mob all develop creative ideas on how to deal with things that are no longer needed. i'll leave you with that and see you again next week from all of them in germany. good bye. and thanks for watching
