mix the dot zip soft jackets and gene ida appear. many things jane, haggard, crap and jane sky is sometime laughing. merchants likes hock, we're one so much more common site in big cities going door to door, fixing anything people don't do the extend they could. and when those items broke, the fix them again. but things have been changing and then as the practices of preston, convenience, culture uptake and route one indicator of this is the amount of bass to country now produces. it is estimated at india generates over a $150000.00 tons of solid waste every day, which is not as much as some question countries. but this is likely to go up to more than doubled by 2025. and the volumes continue, the war ice because a year on the year were adding on new kinds of phase. i think the waste, her composition also is shifting their new materials coming in to where stream. then you also added with of more of batteries, more of a c and for lights, more of and they don't have a simply if management system. so there has been
5:33 pm
a lot of services and a lot of focus on trying to enforce or implement or encourage people on so segregation. so segregation has been, people collect solid and read, read separately. at the 1st instance, the low rate of this practice across indian city is a matter of concern. equally impossible waste management authorities in union cities have priorities is cute. the majority of its funds go into collection and transportation with little left for managing and processing the waste. one industrial that generates massive amounts of vis, disbeliever from the set itself to catering services that provide free meals a day for large numbers of people. usually it goes directly to the dumb, but something different is happening on this film sec today. so basically we have all or could, over 150 that we have one set every day and as a field and globe,
5:34 pm
and on blunder, goofy. i foolish people are really bothered by these guys of mutual that people get done or not even of the people who don't understand the process. they're occasional then we, we have to beans and though we need to be segregated, whom vivia, are we johnson owns to company managing risk at the shoot? it's called us grant and she started it in 2017 difficult shoot like this would generate anywhere between 15250000 k, north least on an average. we've seen a short gen faith about it to them. 1000 can always, every single month is crops. first project was at the weekend and it's 7 music festival. a 2 day concert with a company managed over 7 tons of trash processing or what 80 percent of it, which would have otherwise gone to a landfill. vivian johnson herself says she only produces 100 grams of garbage
5:35 pm
a year, trying to live a seattle west lifestyle has said 0, which is a philosophy that aims to produce as live you, garbage, disposal, and id. none at all. problems apply this approach to all aspects of life. avoiding food raised switching to low emission travels and we're using materials to keep them out of landfills or dumping grounds. 2016, a massive viable, countable, nice deal, and i don't think it's higher the chocolate overly. but the 1st time i looked inside my been and asked myself, where does this trash illegal? does a dumping ground and lives on file and the set of for netflix dylan called jumpy, got great, i'll shoot this crap team is not just separating rubbish. it is also teaching risk management. one way to reduce the volume of garbage produced is to replace blasted, but more sustainable materials. when you look at a lot of thing, abuse,
5:36 pm
bluffton is replaceable. they're not ascend shield. they are only because we haven't applied i was so very effectively. and that is why the continued use it scrapped works to close the gap by donating any leftover with adobe soup from events to partner. and i thank m systems that we distribute the food among the door 100 children, and 300 families. from what we deceive us, he tried to ensure that all the food is evenly distributed to the children. about $3040.00 children have gone to food. the dell is the killer. ah, it's ox income and the livelihood of merchants like him on the decline. with the philosophy the uphold, is more relevant, benevolence. cutting down on waste requires a multi pronged approach. rediscovering
5:37 pm
grace in which things can be re purpose. like in the old days, we'll play an integrity room as we attempt to dig. also out of the mess we have created. la separating household waste is common practice in germany, which is widely lauded as a worldly cycling champion. but a surprisingly large shade of the countries plastic packaging has ended up on the other side of the gilbert. our rebuttal shed some light on a dock side of the global trade in garbage. these containers sitting in a port in manila, almost triggered a wall. they were full of garbage including used adult diapers. and the philippines refused to let them into the country. president rodrigo deter tae just told you know, that he has one week or its war. after rotting in the sun for nearly 6 years,
5:38 pm
canada finally took its waist back and burned it. it made headlines everywhere and revealed the dark underbelly of global plastic waste network. it's life with corruption, run my private traders and fly by night establishments and interpol found that it could be worse. we often find the same names linked to other crimes. money laundering, tax evasion, fraud. it's all the same criminals and the currency driving it all. is plastics, crap. i want to find out more about what's going on. but everybody on speaking do seems to be answering in court. so how does the global plastic way straight even work? and how can we get out of this mess? and good china? by the ninety's, china was becoming the world's manufacturer every day, shipping containers carrying all sorts of products with journey to the us and europe. but when they returned empty, they became a serious financial opportunity. the west consumed oh,
5:39 pm
collected its west and shipped it out of sight to china. china recycled? what it good and sent back new products for more consumption. and this cycle was one repeat and it was dirt cheap. for example, one u. s. trader told me that even in 2010 what it cost around $85.00 to dispose of a done of waste domestically. it cost only $35.00 to ship, but dana with the china. could there be, as we did the usually when low grade are contaminated, plastic was sent to china. either cheap labor was needed, assorted. i'd had to be dumped and burned within a few years, several chinese towns near landfills and incineration side salad, complaining of polluted air. and water. cancer rates rose so by 2018 china had had enough effectively banned all plastic waste inputs. and
5:40 pm
the world had lost as number one recycle. but china was per bed. their recycling industry was established and the country was now producing enough waste domesticated supply. its own draw materials for recycling. so pause than the rest of the world was scrambling. some ways was burnt within the countries, but shipments of garbage still needed to find new destinations. and they found them soon enough in countries coasted china lake militia, individual pilot hank june, is a campaigner with greenpeace, and mileage on the country that became the leading importer at the time. india is the 4th biggest importance. so greenpeace, along with citizens are now demanding than the west sub using them as the waste dumps of the world. especially the rich, richer country, or just local ways. i bet it to the global soccer. and they're shipping the problem to globally. but she also, it all gods, dearly marcie you consciously?
5:41 pm
psych, 80 plus. they come in griggs, that you can tell by looking at the bottom of the container and each grade needs to be recycled on his own in a specific reciting plans. it only makes sense to recycle hybrid plastic life, a shampoo bottle, powdered the dodge and container because what comes out on the, on the side still has value. but things like styrofoam that food comes in can never be recycle. which means that only amused once mrs. you know, let's say a container full of plastic. you honey grossman, looks into corruption and environmental related businesses around the world. the government is going to pay no, no $1000.00. i'm just making the to groups to recycle it. and then the company says, okay, we're not actually going to recycle it. so we're going to keep a $1000.00. and then we're going to spend $500.00 to send the container. we're going to need somebody $1000.00 in indonesia to make it disappear. and then we'd still have to have $1000.00 profit that something like that. and companies in asian
5:42 pm
countries are willing to take the plastic in local waste collection is much less developed here. and so clean plastic can be used to feed the upcoming recycling industries. but here's where laws can be broken. the boss of convention is international treaty that stipulates which plastics can and can't be traded. it says for example, that contaminated a low grade, plastics needs special permission from the receiving countries. governments before they can be shipped, met independent investigators found that plastic tree does have discovered ways to bypass this. first, where shipment can be mislabeled and passed through customs checks in the west. and then companies and developing countries who offer to take in low grade or unsorted plastic, find ways to smuggle it back to local authorities. even if jacks take place they can be evaded. and still the most obvious when which corruption comes into play is to bribe officials or to allow you to import that west. once aloud into the
5:43 pm
country, traders, me to find a way to make money from the bad plastic investigators found unsuitable disposal, including into rivers, landfills and plantations, along with cheap labor to be the main modus operandi. so basically the same things that happen in china, but there's even more criminal entity in this the criminals are relying money laundering techniques, and this typically would take the form of a legal waste company that would engage in both legal and illegal trades and then mix the payments across these 2 business lines. i also had foundation has investigated the role of money laundering at tax fraud across the waste. trade industry for environmental grounds is particularly effective strategy because it can be very difficult for is in the private sector to distinguish between legal and illegal traits proceeds from the illegal waste. trade could be up to $12000000000.00 annually. and waste trafficking,
5:44 pm
many of the profits remained in the exporting countries with importing countries only generating part of the profits from resale or re use of certain waste from 2021. the basel convention toughened regulations. more types of plastic were banned, but environmental se the still doesn't go far enough. if we leave the door slightly open, someone won't go skirts be an on demand group fight for environmental justice. in november 2021 in the lobby, the govern government to halt waste exports to vietnam. on average, a boston and germany generates up to 2 kilograms of trash body. so can the european union deal with its own waste output? mm. that you, it's supposed to have the best voice management infrastructure in the world. and we know it is shipping to countries where the waste management structure is not so
5:45 pm
dropped. if we don't have to countries to which we ship, it definitely does not have his group 0 waste. europe says western countries have to develop their own recycling systems like china did but saw to emerging economies like india or militia, wherewith generation is rising. domestic and local recycling needs to be made a priority. but for the recycling industry to be able to catch up, the main things that need to be cut down is how much plastic we produce, consume and throw away in the 1st place. well in the west plastic ends up in landfills that are feeding grounds for birds. scientists tracking see goals has been have found evidence that the particles don't
5:46 pm
just pause a threat to the animals but to the environment. and people to waterproof clothing is the must here. and a green and victor martin ner biologist. or they're looking for see goals in a lagoon called winter to pierre dra. it's located between mile a dine seville in spain, potato cooking regarding the order that i after. i seen fond of them in the meantime. 5th. yes, as the years go by, you learn to appreciate these animal law society gives me a bad rap, but their intelligence surprises us again and again, e barrett oh that her bremen mcclendon, handbasket. all most of the birds over wintering here are lesser black backed goals . the migratory birds come here and there are thousands during the fall from calder climbs in the north. but there's something wrong, more dead goals than usual. didn't your plastic?
5:47 pm
oh, yes. maybe grandmas where the rest of the plastic or the parameters are finding bits of plastic all over the place. but if this, for example, is a bottle little of that by. yeah, and here's a chicken bone from what he says of glass is part of a bottle. not ever done yet. we're in a conservation area, but there were many migratory birds spend the winter. it can be of no, but this please allow or not is at risk from high levels of contamination for law has done neurotic on very often why it's the goals themselves that are bringing in the garbage. in their stomachs they leave it behind in their excrement and vomit to latania such, and that until the mid eighty's, no black backed goals over wintered here. so they were only present on the coast to lead. ok, boy, and then they learned it was much easier to find food in london at the rubbish dumps that have appeared here. oh,
5:48 pm
the ritual is the same. each morning. flocks of birds arrive at the landfills, goals, storks, and other waterfowl. so the rubbish doesn't stay in the landfill, but biologist victors, as humans are to blame, not the birds to this day 90 percent of garbage and, and a loose dia isn't separated until it arrives at the open landfills. victor takes the samples from the lagoon to a laboratory in seville, and yet again his colleague julian pan. oh, can see particles, a plastic through his microscope. the researchers fear it's a dangerous cycle that a lot of the matter more tell the thing to deal with other animals that hump these contaminated waterfall. now if i were end up eating the flooring objects as well, oh, that's what's on the higher the or up the food chain. the, the more we see a shimmy, leaked in our body else elegant. the other that su and humans might be at the top of that chain. it's not just micro plastics that pose
5:49 pm
a threat. chemicals. antibiotics and pathogens are even more harmful. talk with o santos. both. those octavius, multi resistant bacteria, are the biggest problem. feel, think of hip with an important goals, bring the antibiotics and germs into the wetlands where they're transferred to other species of birds. we sit on the whole ducks at fly into cities and parks. cellphones with bonus come up with separate blo bottles, a little one, a loss of pockets will bundles. the goals repeatedly provide them with new clues. thanks to the birds detective instincts, the scientists have made some unsavory. discoveries come within, i know not moment that we did accidentally, we knew she was wearing out, flying off a certain direction, a friend as the other had to be something attracted them at yahoo dot old. so he went to have a little of, i can find an illegal dog or not gothic, if at the army and the air at home, but they live out. so despite their bad reputation,
5:50 pm
the goals are inadvertently doing their bed for the environment. no wonder they hold such fascination for these biologists. best and made of plastic sashes. these little packets might be handy, but they quickly learned in the garbage bin and they don't roles. in all web special, we chant the journey of such a sashay from the origins at the moment he wheels, it's made from to its ends on the rubbish. we find out why the number of such haze is growing and why they're so lucrative for businesses. and so disastrous for alternatives, find out more at d, w dot com slash plastic from garbage in the landfills of spain, wastes from online shopping. and i'm not talking about all the packaging. and amazon logistics center in germany has been accused of destroying return merchandise. the practice of band in germany. so what the retailers do with unsold
5:51 pm
stock? let's find out. an amazon logistic center in germany, filmed by greenpeace. under cover, the video is said to show brand new clothing being destroyed. it triggered a storm. is a feminist destroying new products. the destroying resources isn't carnival in a climate crisis. per the greenpeace campaign called out the online giant and raised awareness of the problem of waste heat and exterior valuable resources go into making clothes. one garment comes into contact with up to 3000 different chemicals during production. provide on the simplest white cotton t shirt. it requires 2700 liters of water. thus will one hurtled drink sink 2 and a half years. huh? yeah. the problem with online retail is that a lot of products get sent back, processing them isn't always worthwhile for the company. every year, 20000000 items are destroyed and germany alone. logistics expert beyond us,
5:52 pm
decker did the math and came up with that number. so our online retailers, the biggest problem allied off will to hand brick and mortar stores still have a higher sales volume than online retailers. those stores do see fewer returns on that button. on the other hand, their amount of surplus stock left over is huge. in nonsense, and the industry has grown rapidly before the pandemic, the average person in germany spent more than $900.00 euros on clothing a year. that's a market volume of 76000000000 euros, most of which was spent on fast fashion divorce. and so it was the clothing giants that offer low price fashion that saw matt growth on this being able to dress, fashionably for little money. it is very attractive for many people. often, especially young people who don't earn so much with the pandemic, was
5:53 pm
a huge shock to retailers. germany had 3 locked downs in between. shops were offering cut prices to get rid of stock. still, retailers were left with mountains of unsold close winter collections, for example, that can't be sold in the summer. it's because i'm a total of $800000000.00 new colonies, wendy. so it's the so called corona collection and collect it's completely unclear what will happen with then. many retailers are saying they plan to destroy them. i gave the see if i bought. but the mass destruction of new products is actually banned under german law. to loans industry, it's complete nonsense. greenpeace doesn't need to worry noise. we don't know of a single case where brand new clothes that could still be sold have been destroyed . we don't know all 20000 companies and can't look behind every door. there may be a few cases, but we're not aware of amazon. and amazon also feels wrongly accused and issued a statement. the number of product sold and shipped by amazon that have to be
5:54 pm
disposed of is only a few for 1000. and we're working hard to keep reducing the number. items may be donated, sold at a loss, put in storage or recycled. retailers often pass that work on to other companies, so it's not always easy to trace where textiles end up when he had to be american. if he went to conduct a study on the disposal of surplus stock by stores or the disposal of corona surplus, no one would cooperate because all these things just get hushed up when she's often gotten something. it was only last year that germany toughened up its laws making disposal of goods that are new or as good as new officially illegal. the law is mainly designed to create greater transparency, but well at work. almost at some soc. nothing is this law only applies to retailers and manufacturers. and all the middle men platforms,
5:55 pm
and disposal firms in betweens are not included on a monkey. so in many cases, the law will remain a paper tiger that is at a future in toggles. so what can make a difference? maybe we don't need so many new clothes. people in germany on an average of $95.00 garments each and $1.00 and $5.00 of them never gets warned. domestic every day. activism is the best way to protect the environment. don't wind new all the time with electronics books and close. you can borrow rent, share swapped. there are lots with models, but they knew state support. the only problem shopping is still on number one, hobby in germany. we have but one planet where we can survive and thrive, all the waste we generate is right here. it isn't going anywhere anytime soon,
5:56 pm
which is why we need to make the decision to really recycle and reduce if we don't want this waste to overpower us or our future generations. think about that and i'll see you again next week from all of us in germany and india, goodbye. and thanks for watching ah with ah, ah
