everything old is new again, before plastic bags, many shoppers used due to bags. how that natural fiber is making a global come back and saving the animals the centuries. old dedication of one community in india shows that environmental protection is hardly a modern movement. ah, i melissa chan. thanks for joining us. we're taking a closer look today at india and environmental protection, starting with plastics. they are made from petroleum, meaning they are part of the oil and gas industry and in the coming years will likely become more and more important for these businesses as the world turns to renewables. but plastics do not decompose well and in india. plastic waste often

makes its way to the ocean, polluting the seas. there are many ways to combat this and in southern india, one recycling center is working to do so while also providing jobs. india is plastic hunters sifting landfill for in a thing of value. there among the estimated 4000000 people at the bottom of the informal recycling supply chain. no one company is aiming to reward their efforts and make the entire system more reliable. they are responsible for picking up the discarded plastics and they bring it to the scrap shops, the smaller their mom and pop shops, our, the plastic is sorted into basic levels and then from scratch ups. but the issue of by cell transaction on our out. and it comes and pick it up and we bring it to this factor here. plastics for change wants to make it easier for shops to sell their plastic. that will in turn increase the volumes being brought to this plant in chin

. i was here, the plastic is segregated into different quality standards, and then it's made into flakes, into these are nothing serious. they're washed and chips into these the flakes. and then those flakes are then converted into these granules. and this is the, the source stock for manufacturing, or these granules ah, and then, and the granules and get ingestion molded into bottles. and then these bottles can then again be recycled after that same that same blue. and it's 1st year the firm hopes to process 2000 tons of ocean bound plastic. that's plastic, discarded within 50 kilometers of the coast. the equivalent to around 6 jumbo j turning used plastic into new plastic is one way to recycle our guest meta tags.

patrick, car of blue planet, environmental solutions has focused on a another way to reuse a meta thanks so much for joining us. a tell us what you've turned plastic into. hi, thanks for inviting me. actually be have been done working with plastic interviewing . it's a use it but so we can actually me to use it. but i designed actually, kerosene are a mixture which can be used in a industry and how much do you think you can scale up with that? i mean that sounds. c incredible, but are there limits to the technology actually the limits for the technology, but it is about the you know, raw material. because even though the plastic everywhere, because lactic is volumetric. getting back with you becomes a problem. because we have

a traditional recycling live. the last they are there are recyclable, plastic becomes plastic. again, i'm awful because there's me on the black. i give an example to make a one you know or wrap where you need more than 3 before 1000 rappers to make one. so i think it's not the technology, it's that are all material. that's where the problem getting is all just as and one thing i'm wondering is as you take the plastic and turn it into diesel and fuel, that takes energy. so how does that fit into the calculus of making sure that it all comes out in the positive for the environment? actually be you in the energy back to us in the process. so we actually get the gas as the hole in the run on the guys that is in the cell. so we are not dependent on the larger group energy charge. so much in the runs on there

are in the guys that you generated in the process itself. so that's why you know, when neutral a versus just to give people a sense of this technology. how long did it take. # to, to build the technology to where it is today that you can do this at, at scale. actually we built a 4th machine within the 7 to 8 months. but then you know, that when we realized we were letting the gas out and then almost 3 or 2, you know, the 2nd machine, i think now we have scaled up. we have gone ahead and do getting popular technology the well, i think a lot of large, these chemical company we've been looking at this as well. you know why i've been solution to come to work the classic into so we are not dependent to what's on the

and very quickly, you've seen interest from investors, but also any government and in asia interested in this yes, actually be need to go back because it does, but there are no policies that is accepted technology, it becomes a problem. and i'm happy to see that goldman as nice this technology as a one of the viable recycling you know, brought in that new guidelines. meta, patrick kart. thank you so much for joining us. thank you very much. another way to deal with plastic is by using less of it. india, like many other countries, has banned single use plastic bags and is turning to eco friendly or alternative. d . w. ideal bought reports from calcutta on india's growing demand for and

production of jude. the factory in school is one of the biggest operate 24 hours a day. nearly all the around every day, hundreds of workers, liver in a vast, dingy hall to produce the fine yawn which is used to make rice sacks, jude bags and other products mill manager santos mitra says that demand for jude is growing inch. he says that jude factories need to invest an upgrade did machinery. the popularity of june has increased globally with a rise in the demand for alternate use to plastic exports, predict india, jude back industry will be worth more than 3000000000 euros by 2020 for

capitalizing on this consumer shift. india is desperate to roy. it's flagging industry. jude has been cultivated in india for centuries. the warm and humid climate of the ganges delta is ideal for the crop. the jude industry here is grooming with exports increasing more than the full or the last 5 years. just outside calcutta, hundreds of manufacturing units are springing up to meet the growing global demand for jude bags. this manufacturing unit exports to more than 50 countries across 5 continents, most likely europe. they are already modernizing the machinery. the head of the company were another while sees these efforts are essential by producing these jude bags. we are saving the planet. we are preserving the planet for the future of our children. we are saving the planet from hazards of plastic pollution. we are making

the world greener. the government is also doing its spot to produce high yielding, what eighty's of jude to day go run. the car of the research institute for jude is meeting a group of students. or he wants to convince them to work on projects on the huge potential of jude. if the actually is such a cross that it can fix the atmospheric or one rock site and we didn't want venti, did it got l sob script in tons of grown dioxide. but hector, back at the come a hottie, jude factory manager. some thoughts michelle hopes that more government investments can leave i to lies the jude industry. helping don't it into a sustainable robot alternator to plastic caring for the environment also includes preserving bio diversity in ways big and small. will

end with a story of the bitch noise. they are a 500 year old hindu sacked in the north west of the country with a philosophy of pudding flora and fauna that's plants and animals. first, with this rescued antelope owes its survival to the people up india's original eco arias. the bish noise community a sec to have been fighting to protect the environment for more than 500 years. run this animal sanctuary. rescue sent a manager gave r. m a member of this, hindu sex, says he treats animals like his own children or robin. what did you okay. you see law, we care for the forest animals day and night. honeybee i levels with a lot of rescuing injured animals in a 50 kilometer radius. if here and treating the order sarcastically sailed me o division i sacked, founded in the 15th century,
