religious and political power struggles. it's a history of slender of hatred and violence even 77 years after the holocaust hatred towards jews is still pervasive. history that you semitism this week on d. w ah . strewn across beaches and talking to blue. plastic pollution is a world wide plague the you and calls it an epidemic and dismal question that is impacting our health and ecosystems. while missions seek a global kill, we meet people on eco india to be what implementing remedies on there. hello, welcome. i'm some of the plastic is one of the most practical materials on the

planet. the problem is that it's not valued as a resource and far too much of it ends up polluting the environment. this is particularly true of a type called multi layer plastic. it's under reputation for being laundry cycle, but, but as our next report shows where there's a will, there's a weight, ah, ah, a burner gong is working on a typical indian hand. but it is not so fred, for a sorry that's on her spindle. she is reading a strips of plastic into fabric. she works at eagle curry, social, and broaden food and the trans women from disadvantage background to op, cycled single use plastic. me godaddy guy before i joined eco guardy, i had no idea that we could make things from plastic potato chip bags. i was so low

and i'd be happy to be cutting a certain v to bd won't stay. right. you know, would be my last the worst come from all over india work and segregate and wash it before cutting it into strips to handcraft fabric that is used for items like bags, cushion covers, and blunders since it was founded in 2020, the company's team of 25 has up cycled close to 2000000 plastic bags. eco cardi works with a specific type of refused, multi led plastic or m l. b. in addition to plastic, emerald b includes layers of other materials like paper and mattel, that's on it, a reputation as an on recyclable material. y m l fees. i'm ordering this i believe because the other people fall is in a plastic. and each and every layer has different mo, melting points. so, ah, in the traditional we offer recycling, they put it,

i may state and or make the granules out of everybody else. but with this kind of plastic can not do it because of aluminum foil and everything as unmarried at the same point. i mean, these are widely used by manufacturers of ready to eat foods, toiletries and pharmaceutical products. they're lightweight, easy to cross boat and cheap to produce in india and the account for some 50 percent of plastic pollution. superior barrak worth has been collecting plastic and the garbage and tune the since you will the child whist bigger than india and have long faced economic exploitation and socialist digney in boone. and though there is a growing recognition of their contribution to waste management in 2008 the union and the city deemed up with the grassroots organization swatch cooperative to build a network of 4000 west. because most of them in the segregate waste for 2 thirds of

boone as households sought, has also partnered with id, seen one of indiana's largest conglomerates. and develop a program to incentivize the collection of multi layered blasting but buying vis, refused directly from best workers and channeling it into recycling. the idea is that this is a material that previously brought no value to waste because and would end up polluting the city or end up in the landfill. or through this project, we are able to actually create a market value using support from the project or to buy this kind of waste from waste. because in doing so, we are able to not only pick up the plastic oh, that's causing a problem for waste management, but been also able to pass on that benefit directly through the way. because of when a city so far, the project has diverted around 1000 metric tons of emerald be away from landfill.

that's more than 200000000 packets of chips. where speakers, monthly earnings have increased due. now that they have buyers for emily be rubbers now we can sell all the plastic rappers and not just a selection japanese from biscuits shapes. jet ne parcel packaging every thing. it's a very good he did he this factory, my roster says it's a myth that multi layer plastics gone be recycled. the material account for 40 percent of the raised that has been processed here or the past 50 years. actually m l b. adequate. make out about i can gather is the what caused, dear auntie lot of people doing emily processing because it is costly and lengthy process mailing format, m l p waste reaches us after it has been compressed into b and that was v blake. up the bills, grind the rappers and then wash them. oh, so wash, then they are combined into

a mass and put through the exclusion blood. voluminous. they are converted into greenwich, upper jar, estrogen plan, both in his head damping alice gave for me when i got this gun. once the ammo beast processed, it can be used to make not just fabric, but items like benches, dustbins, and even dials. but i will be recycling as a labor intensive process that alter uses a lot of water and pop. most of the amazon waste that is collected still ends up and landfills or gets incinerated, which adds to the air pollution. india is a still a long way from facing out multi lead blasting, but initiatives like thought and he could gaudy a, creating a part for positive change. hey, sandy, deeper pushing trash and turn it into something useful. crash that might otherwise be eaten by goals and make them sick. it also means there's less rubbish lying around. now, my like my nugget. it wrangler. i love them. i'd religous like jim,

i'm going to conquer the bay. people haven't started treating us better. good. that they know now that we work for swat japan, and with that we do a good job. we segregate waste and recycling properly. my for the it's like we have a new identity. now look i this, people see us differently. so then i think i and i go for gym or what conquer the assigning role you don't want to live blasted refuses helped improve the lives of this because improvement. and as hon. grove, beavers like upon our congress show recycling emerald b has the potential to benefit us on over the past 2 decades, the amount of plastic produced in the world has more than doubled the result, nearly 300000000 tons of plastic waste every year. the thought is on for green alternatives. our reporter discovered 2 natural ingredients that could help curb or hunger for plastic. we all know plastic is convenient, durable,

and everywhere. and at the same time, plastic kills marine, life contributes to global warming and poses health risks. but what if we could use all natural materials like mushrooms seaweed, or would to cure ourselves of our addiction to plastic? what are the alternatives out there and why aren't they everywhere? we start working with she reads as an uncharged material. i'm to try to. oh, yeah, basically did up a range of new solutions that are completely by the gridable natural and sometimes even edible. peer parsley is the co founder of not le, a start up that uses see we'd to replace plastic packaging. she, we the was always a good candidate for us because it grows very fast. some of the sued,

the reuse can grow up to one meter per day. and in terms of and the flight, it's been around for 100000000 years. so nature has no problem dealing with its anywhere. it ends up in barnes. and that happens a lot with plastic. 40 percent of plastic produced is for packaging. in 2018, just 13.6 percent of plastic containers and packaging were recycled to counter this? no plan have developed little sa chaise for sauces or drinks made from algae. so you can eat them along with a contents even if they're not consumed and are thrown away. not la claims, they will buy degrade, and 4 to 6 weeks. to make these vanishing sashes, not hard drives and grinds of brown seaweed. a special machine, then turns the powder into a membrane that can be filled and finally sealed. ah,

the firm also makes a special coding for take away containers. usually they're coded with plastic to grease proof them, but that makes them hard to recycle and also makes them non biodegradable not low solution however, is made from you guessed it, see we'd, which means of the boxes should palm post and $29.00 days plus solution to our growing problem, seeing that a recent study found food containers to be among the 10 most common items polluting the c. but seaweed is not the only promising material out there. another rapidly growing substance and a favorite of a little italian plumber, the mushroom or to be exact. my celia,

my celia mar, the roots of mushrooms that form an underground network called high fe. if treated right, they can be turned into a form that is a sustainable alternative to polystyrene all natural and completely by degradable. how on earth you turn mushrooms into packaging material you asked? well, you put organic waste products like straw into a mold and mixed them with mushroom spores. in the space of a week, the mice jojo will feed on the waist and grow into the empty space. the resulting my sylium foam is been removed and tried to prevent the sports from growing further . it's water and flame resistance, lightweight and actually stronger than traditional polystyrene. mm. deann birby is the c o of grown bio, a dodge company that produces my celia packaging. 35 years ago, roughly to out her small and medium companies, reduce the environmental footprint of their packaging. and i,

somewhere i found the term mushroom packaging, which brought me to, we created young's company is a license fee of eco vate, of design, the inventor of the material, $1.00 of the 1st companies to adopt my ceiling packaging was hardware manufacturer, dell for selected shipments. others looking to foster a green image like lush, have since jumped on the bandwagon using it for a limited edition gift pack. the 1st drawback, though, is that it's way more expensive than polystyrene. grown bio didn't disclose any prices, but one study estimated the cost of my seal young could be around $3.00 per pound compared to $0.04 for styrofoam. the 2nd problem, it's hard to scale up production. the packaging grows in these containers for 5 days and takes up a lot of space while doing so. i kia announced its use of my ceiling packaging and 2020 only to abandon it

a year later. because of the lack of scalability on an industrial level. it's certainly not yet at the level of styrofoam, and even if it would be possible to make it at the same cost, then you still need to scale up enormously, which just takes time to build all those factories. iq of 8 of recently received a $60000000.00 investment, so they can scale up their production and potentially lower costs. the big question is whether it'll become cheap enough to truly compete with polystyrene on a large scale. there are alternatives to plastic out there. and yes, big brands are dipping their toe into the market, but prices are still high. and despite all the big brands cooperating, the scale is extremely small. raising the question whether they're going into the market for the right reasons. because if big brands don't adopt more sustainable alternatives, this will continue to be a niche market only to reduce or plastic use as much as possible. we need to create

all natural scalable alternatives for specific use cases. putting plastic, raised to a new use is of course, another way to stem the tide of garbage we're drowning in, in the canadian capital. i cra one entrepreneur has found something constructive to do with the recycled material and is helping holborn us build a new future. brick by brick. gone his 1st plastic house is an interesting site. what looks like ordinary bricks is actually a mixture of sand and plastic waste. the bricks made from recycled material are stable and good insulators. the bridge are designing say today there's a groove. oh, all in between. we doesn't allow the heat from outside to get in and also maintain the temperature of the room. gun is capital, a crown is continuously expanding every year about $50000.00 more people come here

. affordable housing is increasingly scarce. forcing many people to live in substandard housing. nima is a cross largest slum. it has no indoor plumbing and no regulated garbage disposal waste and filled fill the canals, including huge amounts of plastic. this facility accepts waste. it says it employs over $300.00 people to collect trash in the area. today, employees will sort through 3 sacks of plastic bags, bottles and packaging. depending on the quality of the plastic, the company pays the trash collectors up to one cd per kilo of waste. that's equivalent to about 15 euro cents. knows in watching, used to be a plastic bag manufacturer himself. then he changed his business model. now he wants to help solve the plastic waste problem and combat the housing problem at the same time. he designed and built both his cleaning device

and the machine that breaks down and melts. the plastic, the bricks are made from old melted plastic mixed with sand under pressure and extreme heat. a paste is formed from which the bricks will then be pressed. his facility can produce $25.00 bricks like this per hour. about one 3rd of each brick is recycled plastic. so i'm so excited that i can use one problem down the plastic with problem that is affecting the world. and then use that simple them to solve house in problem in ghana. and there's another benefit compared to concrete, plastic bricks or a climate friendly building material. some and production is responsible for about 8 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. for many ghanaians,

cement and steel buildings signify prosperity and success. but nelson watch, ang knows, than affordable housing remains. a major problem in accra his house big plastic bridge is about one 3rd cheaper than a comparable concrete house, some construction contractors, c building with plastic bricks as a chance for people to have access to their own homes. so it in this is bruce was coming now to help us reduce the cost of their production. o cost of burden. then you go for it now. so that's a lease lin low encompass and concrete assess recommendation. so i do have to wait because the plastic is already polluting the alarm is there youtube videos have helped spread the word about plastic bricks. in accra they've received orders for 20 houses. with each dwelling requiring $3000.00

plastic bricks. they have their work cut out for them. the problem is not enough. oh, equipment and space to operate to meet the customer. so we are still in this struggle stage to meet the customer because people like to put that on dead because it's cheaper. and indeed, your ability knows in what tang hopes that state and private sector collaboration will help him scale up production and play a bigger role and gunners recycling revolution. the cream colored sounds of cocoa beach on bali help turn the indonesian island into a tourist magnet. but in recent years, visitors have arrived to find the shores of wash. in plastic, local activists have taken the clean up into their own hands and off tackling the problem at its source inland. barley is drowning in beast. together with local residents,

members of environmental protection organizations. sunday watch are dreading mountains of plastic out of the islands waterways. yeah, the initiator was launched by french man, gary, been shaggy, who's lived on barley for over 10 years. he's been active in environmental protection since then. and set up some guy was in 2019. now he has 55 fellow campaigners as well as local helpers who started making change or 11 years ago. picking up on our beaches on bali, but very quickly saw that 90 percent of plastics in the ocean are coming from rivers and streams for wider waterways. the team use floating booms sunday watch has installed 120 of them over the last 2 years. throughout valley, they've hauled almost $400000.00 kills of trash out of its rivers and streams in that dying plastic that would otherwise have flowed out to the sea. several endures . startups and similar initiatives are active throughout indonesia. they are trying

to compensate for the lack of functional waste management systems outside the country's big cities, rivers in body. unfortunately, i've also become garbage dumps. you know, there's no initiative on the island that is protecting them. so, you know, that's where we saw jap. if we want to stop plastic condition in the ocean, we need to stop it in the rivers. the river warriors, as they call themselves, saw the plastic leaves together with local helper. some of it can be sold and they're also working on ways to recycle it. for some of the, you know, more long term solutions that we're exploring is what if we turned, you know, a bottle like this? or let's say, you know, even to bottle caps or straws, or some of this, actually, the recollecting, are we going into the actual solutions like a brick? and so that's long term solution we're still doing are indeed to test out what is the potential the best solution that exists. the also catalog the

wrist. where does it come from? what does plastic trash consists of exactly? over half of it origin eats with big name brands, 1st and foremost done on followed by ring sawyer and orange to our other global corporations like uni lever. and coca cola joined the top 10 of plastic race producers here and we're just starting some of the conversation with some of the bigger corporates that wanna find cleanups. and i think that if we're able to have a dialogue with some of the people that are wrapping the plastic, then we're able to make a lot more change. and then really start a conversation about how to use better sustainable packaging in the 1st bit. after china, indonesia is the 2nd largest ocean polluter that's putting pressure on the government to act. especially with tourism being one of the countries prime sources of foreign

revenues. leaders in jakarta are bumping public money into an increasing number of these kinds of initiatives. and small companies, and they want to have 70 percent of the country's trash properly processed by 2025 according to their website, some guy was sees, it also wants to see every stream and river cleaned up by then its residence companies and the state worked together all of indonesia could soon be as clean as it is here, from flip flops to speak, a foot where it is filled with plastics in the rear to adopt greenow practices. some brands have begun incorporating recycled materials, such as marine plastic, an indian student on a quest to produce a sustainable pedal sneakers found all he needed among the bags and bottle headed

for the dumps in delhi. bobbers doing what he likes to do best designing sneakers. but these are no ordinary trainers. they're made mainly from recycled plastic bags. it's a project that came about was part of his undergraduate degree working on a lot of different design ideas. and he's taking plastic bags with one of them because i recently heard about the band on plastic bags in india, but i found out that it's not living in force. i don't. so i thought that you know, something needs to be done. we've gone, always rely on the government for our solution. so bobby contacted a waste disposal company near delhi tons of trash arrive here with the employee sorta the plastic bags. the next step is to clean the bags and cut them to size. and then it's shipped out to actual factory,

engender quality into footwear and they assemble the fabric and all the other components into the final issue. making sure itself is not very different from making regular leather shoes. still making the shoe out of plastic took some getting used to, especially since not only the shoes themselves are made from recycled material. the lakes are also made from plastic fossil undersold from the razors. the effort is now paying off worldwide. yarber, daphne, our biggest market. you know, it is a market that's more wild to, you know, such ideas. people are more willing to pay extra higher costs for a product that's more sustainable or more environmentally friendly. his shoes cost $909.00. the 1st batch of $1600.00 pairs is already almost sold out. he's currently working on a new design. once again,

the sneakers will be made entirely from recycled materials, which sets the shoes apart from their far better known rivals. lot of diagrams are getting, i'll be of it, having about $10.00 to $20.00 person recycled content and their fabrics, which is not a lot at all. and we're not doing that. we're doing 100 points in the psycho fibrex . i think if we can do it, i'm sure you know other brands that are much bigger can do it for sure. until then, i show bobby wishes to continue to lead by example. it's a sobering fact that 91 percent of all plastic produced in the world has not been recycled. our societies have been conditioned to using plastic, but little by little. we can unload the habit of reaching for the plastic or through of a plastic top or take out contin every small action. com or leave you with that part and see you again next week. so my entire team in india and germany goodbye, and thanks for watching
