industry more sustainable margins, in fact that we will flee by just leave me. think one fraud pico india, that on d w a. we've got some hot tips for your bucket list. romantic corner tread hotspot for food and some great cultural memorials to boot d. w. travel off we go ah ah, with since the beginning of human history dies, hubble concoctions and natural remedies have been used by men and women to enhance the beauty, health, and identity. today, this is an industrial, with

a market size of hundreds of millions of dollars. it's no secret of the production process. packaging and drama agents used her case, the heavy burden of the environment. the demand from consumers for sustainability is only increasing on the going to be let's talk about a few ways in which this can be achieved. hello, welcome. on sunday that in india, many young and open consumers are consciously choosing to buy non toxic biodegradable and sustainable beauty and was thought kept products. even though these products remained inaccessible and unaffordable to the masses to be a few entrepreneurs are setting the foundation to build an industry that is scalable, yet sustainable. ah, money, she welcome. our son displayed an intolerance to supermarket soaps and creams in early childhood in search of alternatives. she began to experiment herself.

they started making simple products like home, lazy, thorpe's live bombs, shambles. and just, you know, using it on my own, you know, sell fuse and my son's use. that's how it started for me. i think the journey went a little, the i c, d as in 2016. and the bugs got me a big blue. see this and i wanted to studies can give formulations again governor dreamed in banking, she now began to grapple with the science of surfactants fats and oils. it marked the beginning of her company. oh, through them. today it produces sustainable body care products such as soaps and shampoos, but honey sure, welcome on. doesn't call her products organic. we don't classify chemical and non chemical. we don't classify natural organic,

but we classify ingredients only based on that box would be living that are the multi fires that can biodiesel easily into the soil legs or they might be slightly expensive, but there are such ingredients available. so we choose to consciously target ingredients that are more sustainable. and my only thing of what exactly is in the products we use every day or in the clothes we wear. these are the kind of questions that also interest 25 year old or did the my of the indian american influenza use as social media to spotlight are through of a society and call for changes in consumer culture. i think there is this undercurrent of folks wanting to know the stories behind their products, who made them, how was it made and ingredients. and i think this coincides with living in the age of the climate crisis. so whether that's the question about the labor behind who major clothes or the ingredients that populate or beauty products, people want to have a more critical dialogue about that mercury in face screens. heavy metals such as

chromium and nickel and lips, tics, experts see long term exposure to substances like these poses a health hazard. se sinner is a scientist who publishes facts that the cost medic industry keeps under wraps. all these chemicals are likely to impact and barbara big will impacted vironment. what will you use on your body? it'll impact you, but a lot of it get washed up. it going to the waste water system a lot off the tubes that you discard that can warranty or where stream, where does it fine if you go to the restroom, it went to the landfills and that starts to leach into the sub swine adding to surface water ne hutch audrey is a makeup artist in delhi. she's is that for a long time now, her customers have valued the sustainable ingredients in the cosmetic products she

uses. as a result, she has also changed her tools earlier. there were only plastic youtube that used to get, but now we get bam, was to execute tips across brands and across 30 dealers and everything. that's not the thing. and for makeup remover instead of gardens because accordance is also very huge waste. i use an academic arissa solarium divorce and he used any number of things. the cosmetics and personal care products industry is a $1000000000.00 business. last year alone, sales totaled around $425000000000.00 us dollars worldwide. in the us, the 4th largest market after the usa, china and japan. sustainable products are still a niche market. accounting for less than 70 percent of the total, but their market share is growing every year. oh, through them is one of the few players in the indian market that produces packages and also organizers distribution here. the company is breaking new ground not only

in terms of ingredients, but also in terms of product packaging. glass is not sustainable. it may look sustainable, but producing glasses not sustainable any more. so then we started looking out for alternators to day. we use a wide range of materials like they should look in blaze based plastic on base plastic pc. our post consumer reasonably is plastic, which are more, you know, a part of it as biodegradable. so we try to ensure that at least 60 percent of the tubes composition is, is, is biodegradable. but rhythm sells its product through its online store. don't us sunscreens conditioners, the tops hello solid chapel. unlike its liquid counterpart, it doesn't require plastic bottle. plus it's supposed to last for many more uses than liquid shampoo. our statistics was if we are able to commit even 5 percent of in the us population to move into forget 52 percent of indian

population. the movement are using sample bars. imagine the impact that we will create in using those many sample bottles going to length and by just replacing one product at around $252.00 piece or just over 3 euro's the solid chapel is not cheap and is probably only affordable for the open middle class, as long as this remains the case, sustainable cosmetics will have a hard time establishing themselves everywhere on the indian market. in recent years, the mineral, micah, which gives the shim unaffected makeup, has caused a fewer for how it's sourced. we visited a german cosmetics company trying to follow ethical standards when importing and using micah and also explore mica mines in northern india coma davie and her 5 year old son, roger scoured the soil in search of mica. the glittering mineral plays

a vital role in this region, the economy, even though many minds have been officially closed. mining the raw material is the only way to survive for many people. here, children worked for hours in the blistering sun in the indian state of georgia, and this is nothing out of the ordinary thought that at that let tele, glad of my children are so young. but there's no other way of making a living here. but there's no farming and nothing to do with that. i can't afford to send them to school. i was, they have to help me had that though, but they managed to to 2 and a half kilos a day. and then that we work until 5 in the evening class was it to day some 50000 adults and children work here illegally. local authorities don't intervene. almost all the workers are dilates. who occupy the lowest wrong in the indian cast system? a kilogram of micah can bring the equivalent of up to 20 euro cents. but often they

only receive half of that middle man, clean the mineral enlarge filtered rumps, the platelets have been cut into varying sizes. this is how it enters the market. the word micah describes a group of naturally occurring silicon materials that are rigid, yet elastic. at the same time, micah is used for electronics and paints and lacquers and for construction. it's also used a lot in the cosmetics industry. a few years ago, anna maria jaeger and her husband kai founded their company lethal cosmetics. the acres emphasized that all the ingredients, the farm uses, are vegan and ethically sourced. in other words, they guarantee that no animal testing or child labor was involved in production. one of the key raw materials they use is mike,

up and some of it comes from india. the acres handpicked their supplier in india. one who assured them that their micah only comes from minds that don't use child labor. but in that industry, it's often difficult to determine where the material originated with our suppliers . it's one supplier, that's often the manufacturer that also works directly with the mines that also does the audits of the mines and has them independently audited as well. and that is where we gained that confidence with meanwhile, coma, davy is glad if she receives a $150.00 rupees a day, a little under 2 euros. that's enough to buy some vegetables and rice. but for that, everyone has to pitch in order including her 7 and 8 year old daughter's work. oh, it's called finance on one,

i'd really like to go to school. all. it's gone that we need money that they will have. we don't even have our own house. so i have to collect mica. milton. according to indian law, no child under the age of 14 is allowed to work. but millions of children are doing just that. in the states of john d ha, around 22000 children are working in illegal mines. since kids are small, they're often made to crawl into freshly dug pits and shafts that aren't safe or less. i mean, i'm always afraid when i'm looking for mica are not long ago over there. 2 or 3 children of my age were buried in one of the shafts and they died like jack, i want to go to school. i don't want this me getting the cosmetics industry is very secretive. when it comes to micah in 2017,

the responsible mike initiative was launched. it's an alliance of companies obtaining micah from india who aim to in child labor in mines, but no one from the initiative wanted to talk on camera. in germany, a supply chain act is set to come into force in 2023. it would require businesses to uphold basic human rights. but on an e, you level, an equivalent law is still being negotiated. i think it's absolutely within our responsibility. of course, it's also within the responsibility of everybody in the chain to make sure that it's produced ethically as well. mm hm. if you ask the miners and jock on how to solve the problem, they say genuine change can only come if mining is once again officially allowed. because then workers would be provided with clear safety standards and a fair wage. then their children wouldn't have to work any more.

one important ingredient, of course medic products is bomb oil. it's all material that's also found in many other products. for example, it's often used in the food industry. however, the production of pharma is often problematic for the environment. we tried to find out what are the ecological disadvantages of families, and how could it be produced most sustainably? oh, if you want to know why palm oil is in everything, you have to look back to the 19 ninety's. the food industry was in turmoil. as research revealed the horrors of trans fats. eating more of these trans fats meant more bad collateral and less goods. which lead to increased risk of heart attack. most much the oils are made up of unsaturated fence, but these are relatively unstable and liquid, the making them rubbish. ingredients for food like marine to make these france more

versatile, they can be made more saturated. but this results in those home for trans fats. talk to your buddy has a tough time of breaking down into the magic fat palm oil. one of the real monsters of pomo is that it's highly saturated and what that means is that it's very stable . so it doesn't go runts, it's very easily pump oil comes from the feet of this tree, which is imagined to be named the oil palm. both the fruit flesh and the kernel can produce oil and palm oil provides a healthy alternative to trans fat. it's relatively thick and solid and so can be used in a wide range of foods with long shelf lives, without the homes caused by trans fats. and that can't really be replicated with every oil over 68 percent upon oil is used for food. 27 percent is used for cosmetics, detergents, and other industrial products,

and 5 percent to biofuel. this possibility has seen demand for palm oil increase almost 70 fold since 1990 of rich and e from west africa. 85 percent of the world's palm oil now originates in indonesia and malaysia. despite the plants incredible properties, there's a catch. it only grows in the tropics, the location of the world. tropical rain forests. ready our growing appetite, the palm oil, has meant deforestation in a single decade. forest totaling the size of israel being lost, destroying rain prior to displaced indigenous peoples and labor pieces have been documented on palm oil plantation. deforestation destroys habitat tooth threatening pungent from march and tigers. to be around the town, one of human relatives. but the rain for problems don't end in the rain

promised patrons, economic b, which wetlands, when that dried out to grow oil palm, they can catch by creating evolution and foaming surrounding region. deforestation is also a leading cause of climate change since the c o 2 absorbing powers of trees and soils are lost. could amount of the deforestation for palm, as it could be called caitlin areas. and pete lens are very a very unique ecosystem and very important. it's a very carbon rich equal system. so given the impact of palm oil production, it's hardly surprising that many want to avoid it entirely. but not so fast, because the oil palm is an incredible over achiever. every square meter of pomona plantation typically produces as much oil from the same line diarrhea. you'd only get this much rate seed oil,

and this much. so we've been so replacing palm oil would mean using more land we'll pounds. productivity is one reason the is often the cheapest vegetable oil that money can buy. the truth is oil palm is the most efficient oil crop we have, and palm oil demand will potentially double by 2050. 1 way of meeting tomorrow's 1st for palm. oil would be to improve productivity research, the jazz, but better agricultural practices can boost indonesia as palm oil production by 60 percent on existing land. meaning we could increase production without destroying additional rain forest yields could be boosted by tools. we already have from mechanization to better fertilizers, as well as know how like lang down palm front to slower reparation and protect soils from heavy rain, new and improved oil. palm trees could also help created to selective breeding or

genetic engineering. for example, the dwarf, which stays shorter for longer, making it easier to harvest while more trees can be packed into less land. increased intensification could also have environmental drawbacks, but seems like a better option than chopping down more vein forest. but even with moves to halt deforestation, and increase productivity, future palm oil demand might increase beyond what today's land can provide. so which if you could make palm oil without the oil, palm tree that the east, which can make little oil drop inside the cell. now the real advantage of this is that we can replace pomo exactly. we can produce an oil, which is exactly the same. now chris says this oil won't ever compete with palm oil on price, but hopes it could still play a substantial role in the future. even if by the future still years,

perhaps decades away, there are plenty of ways to improve palm oil production, whether it's more capital monitoring, producing more oil on the plantations, we already have or producing extra oil using completely new techniques. but all of these approaches could end up increasing how much we pay for our products, given the cost to annette and people, surely the price would be worth it. another problem related to the production of cosmetics is the amount of packaging waste that is generated in indonesia. for example, like in india, such products are often offered in singling sashes so that it's affordable and accessible. but this ends up in landfills and makes the garbage problem was

a mom to nathi does his rounds. in this indonesian suburb, he's a trash collector, a lot of sashes land in his cart. the small plastic packages are ubiquitous in southeast asia. caller larry assigned more kitchen waste in housing estates, put in the villages. more sashes are thrown away. we go. the single use packages are part and parcel of you man can of his own lifestyle. he lives in a small house in tongue around cilla chung. together with his older sister and his nice laundry. so shampoo, tooth paste, all supplied in single portion, plastic backs, even the spices for their food coming. sanchez dead as, as if there's no sashay products. i don't know what to do. the sash is very cheap plan. i hear the amount is just enough for one meal. i said that if i could buy

a big pack, i would buy laundry. so both, so dish soap, sugar and coffee. but unfortunately i only have a little money. and if i buy a big package, oh, i'm afraid i can't buy other necessities. the important thing for me, the price of the sessions cheap, and i can cook every day for lack of pay and pay the rent as household help. she make some 50 euros a month. her brother earns between $60.12 euros, though their income does very even together, it doesn't stretch to a middle class income. that's why they prefer to buy single sashes. it gives them flexibility, but over the long term it's an expensive way of managing their household. a large bottle of shampoo or laundry soap would be 20 percent cheaper than the same amount in st chaise in but nobody would amana,

but says shays are the main range in local stores that that, that, that can be. yeah. many people need these sessions, so we get lots of customers that you've got. what allow me, they're more in demand because they're easier to use. have to be by customers, spend $1000.00 or 2000 repairs. what are the den gallindo? it's very cheap for them. he blew out, he will in the be, then there be a gun on my guy. they are so cheap that even down at the riverside sashes are used for doing the laundry. the way it always was appalling. i am sometimes i only buy one sashay, sometimes to ally because sometimes i have a lot of laundry. sometimes i used to sasha is a day. yeah, through the i mean it's a huge environmental problem. empty plastic sashes are all over and they're non recyclable. environmentalist teaser,

my fear thinks it's monstrous that these packages are still being manufactured. she's fighting for a plastic free world. every single region in indonesia will have a traditional market and they used to sell daily items in bulk. they sell it in bulk. we would go there with our own container. we'd get a keela rice, maybe a few eggs bringing our own baskets. none of them were package and that went on fine. the same goes for so we could buy so far as back then. there was no problem at all. we didn't have to buy liquids though in fashion about 50 percent of global . sasha production is based in southeast asia. and the region is where most of them are sold a lucrative business. a lot of the brands that are whose names are on this. i show packages our brands of multi national, fast moving consumer goods,

who companies are all around the world. and they've originated in developed countries. they originated in europe in united states, were very familiar with these brands. the irony is that in europe and in the united states and in the u. k, you won't see sasha. you'll see these brands sell their products in bottles that are recyclable, but not session. the only place where they market sasha is in the developing country. ironically in a place where they're so little capacity to recycle those sasha una lever is one of the top brands here, especially when it comes to shampoo and laundry soap. the company declined in interview, but it did right to say that it's working on producing sashes, made of only one material in future, rather than several materials, which makes them impossible to recycle. but the company won't comment on profit and

inequality and sashay sales. nothing's likely to change in the short term for a mom and darcy kennedy. they have to decide on a day to day basis exactly what the family needs for. i am not been that i use sanchez because they're cheap. got me. the amount is just rightly with and they're easy to use along along that and once again, he takes off on his rounds. the company should produce the sashes. no, they can count on their indonesian customer base. in recent years, my choices, when it comes to beauty and fossil kid, have become more than bod, mentally, friend b, thanks largely to being a part eco, india. i be such deeply about the products i buy and buy a new product. only when i'm nearly done with an old one. if you've made

a change to tell us about it on eco india and d, w dot chrome until next time from all of us in india and germany. good bye. and thanks for watching. ah, [000:00:00;00] a
