welcome to global 3000 pounds underwater villages in belize, the trying to keep an entire ocean at bay costly prosperity. chilly is suffering from the consequences of state imposed industrialization and how the food industries promises of sustainability really stand up. whether it's while jogging in the city along the beach, or even while diving in the ocean across the world, people adjoining forces to get the trash plastic is everywhere on our planet. even the remotest corner and not free of it, especially single use. ringback pics onto manufacturers responsible for where they're. ringback products and up we went to find out says with you probably recognize as at least some of these products they made by europe. biggest food
10:32 pm
manufacturers these companies all seem really concerned about plastic waste. there's a lot of plastic, pollution environment and the uncomfortable truth is some of it has got our name on it. $8000000.00 tons of plastic waste end up in the ocean each year and we are committed to enhancing the sustainability of our packaging and our business. we are in this way, but many of these companies also consistently rank among the worlds awards to plastics, polluters, coca cola, something new over bay, the key drivers of our massive plastics. problem of the 350000000 tons of plastic waste the world produced in 2019. only an estimate of 9 percent actually got for tackled much more gets released into the environment poisoning, ocean soil and even the air we breathe. so we wanted companies promised to cook
10:33 pm
their plastic waste, do they actually deliver to the french? he giant, unknown, for example, is best known for dairy products. but it is also one of the world's biggest bottled water companies, with brands, including abn, my zone and indonesian, back in 2009. the non promised t is 20 to 30 percent recycled, p t. ready plastic and it's water bottles by 2011. but they failed. you'd never know it though. by 2014. that on our website said this, the goal is to achieve a rate of 25 percent recycled p t by 2020. so the company just delayed, as promised by almost a decade, but globally done on water still used only 19 point. 80 percent recycled p t and 20242025. they now have yet another new goal, and committed by 202500 for all around in europe and 50
10:34 pm
percent. after dragging its promises out for over a decade, dunham has at least made some progress. other companies are even further away from their own commitments, nestle only used 5 percent recycle p t in 2020 coca cola european branch was a 9 percent and italian ferrero, who promised to get to 50 percent by 2025, only started releasing any such bottles in 2021. so what about the promises that weren't shaped? some of them are genuinely positive steps, but others seem more like marketing ploys than long term improvements. like this campaign, belgium brewery. i'm a bush in this, a company behind beers like american budweiser corona, and beck's in 2017. they decided to tackle ocean plastic. they even got some famous actors on board. the collaboration with highlight, i think, is a very good administrative and smart way to take a step towards cleaning operations. i believe one of the brands that is more
10:35 pm
connected to the ocean company proudly announced that it had over delivered on the commitment and had organized $214.00 beach. but they were all just one time cleanups delivering no long term protection. it also sold some sunglasses, made from recycled ocean plastic and then declared the success actually been my colleague, kyle made a whole video about the challenges of recycling ocean plastic and loretta cappello policy campaign up on the n g o 0 waste. europe has this to say, yes, so basically no have any suicide because this companies are doing this beach pretending to do up includes that they are now actually, they are the ones they're are putting all of these packaging material, the waste at the beaches. instead, the way the priority should be to reduce plastic waste at the source. but when we
10:36 pm
looked at what companies actually promised, we found out of almost $100.00 sledges, only $1.00 and $5.00 even aim to reduce the amount of plastic used in packaging. and most of those pledges are still in the future. it was far more popular to promise that packaging will be made recyclable. but even if packaging is recyclable, in theory, without infrastructure to collect untreated, it will not be recycled in practice never. so cappello says, instead materials might end up being incinerated, put in landfills, or even worse, left to lit up, the environment, promising to use already recycle plastics like that on with water bottles is a much better way. but companies take the easy road there. most of these are specifically about p e t. pc is used for bottles, but also for other packaging and even in textiles. it's also by far the easiest type of plastic to recycle. over the past decade, more and more brands have launch bottles made sometimes entirely from recycle p t. but only 17 percent of all plastic packaging is made of p t. the remaining 83
10:37 pm
percent are much harder to recycle plastics like polypropylene l d, p or h d p, or a combination of many materials from those caps and rapid from the beginning. those are notoriously hard to recycle even if they are collected mostly on the down cycle into low re products like cheap construction material. meaning, but companies often highlight the easiest material to recycle, instead of mentioning the mountains of absolutely not respectful way they produce around the world. so where do we start the change? some initiatives are trying to work on transparency 1st. for example, the element out the foundation companies consign up to the global commitment program with their voluntary pledges around plastic packaging. foundation then collect 6 commitments and trucks that progress companies are hiding behind the commitments and not just doing the changes that they would need to do sunday. she doesn't really have a stick, you know, they have their parents. what happens is companies lead,
10:38 pm
what happens is companies does not want to reveal the data. they don't keep them. so what needs to happen instead? good question. i would say that was really to change the behavior of the company in europe and legislation. the european union has now recently followed suit and passed some bishop plastic legislation as well under the single use plastics directive, disposable items such as plastic bags, category and straw, cannot be distributed within in new markets anymore. and the directive also includes targets for a cycle plastics. by 2025 p. t bottles need to have at least 25 percent recycled content. and by 2030, this target will be raised to 30 percent. and change needs to happen and in each step and fast global plastics, production is still growing and is forecast almost triple in the next few decades. in order to even slowly increase the world needs much better recycling systems and
10:39 pm
strict regulations. the data shows that the voluntary commitments are not enough. companies only change the tactics when pressured through legislation, public accountability, and consumer demand. and we'll check back in 2025 when companies have to deliver on the next set of plastics promises. some of them will even be mandatory, at least within the you want price, so we prepared to pay for progress for prosperity and economic growth industrialization has caused huge environmental problems including climate change. and yet, despite knowing this, we still lived by the same motto, economy before nature. in the 1950s that she lay in government set up 5 so called sacrifice zones to promote industrialization in them, they built coal fired power plants, oil refineries, and copper smelters cement to factories and ports environmental regulations when
10:40 pm
non existent until the 19 ninety's. and they remain lax to day, more than 200000 people are affected in the bay of poaching covey, northwest at the capitol santiago, people are determined to change things. non legal over through no one did anything about the toxic fuse castiano lava sayings or about how they made the children fainter. no one did anything. oh no, hear me. so no audio he is one of the last fishermen in put on covey, a small coastal town in central chile. he tells us the see here is polluted, which studies have also confirmed. but the sea is as only source of income. today's catch is mega one, sierra a species of mackerel that regularly migrates along the coast. hosting yonder lago
10:41 pm
says it's probably not contaminated with toxic heavy metals. unlike fish that stay in the bay or we're route, i'm familiar with, but we used to eat the fish here. we may go to v toyota of over level, but we don't any more because we know it makes you sick reward. okay, variable killer, whatever water you, lots of people have cancer level of the reason for that lies the outskirts of pitchin covey, roughly 500 hector industrial complex right on the coast. the coal, oil, chemical and copper industries have moved in, lived here by the scant environmental regulations for decades, waste water and gas emissions have been spilling into the sea and air, day and night. and with the approval from the government, which made concerto put on covey into his sacrifice. so for over 50 years,
10:42 pm
industry and economic progress have been prioritized over everything else, including residence and the environment. despite this areas unique to logical value says, but pretty up in eunice. i don't recommend the way this is a bone fragment you can tell by the color. it must be from a marine mammal. my, me photo marino. the geologist is fighting for the area to be recognized and protected later, but there they, this place tells the story of earth went on, but not just a future covina what i'm coming. and anyway, these g o sites are of international importance because the layers of rock behind us reveal part of the history. it's been a good webinar went on, but they're like bella bimmer, there are other examples away from the coastline. i go pull in. well this is the fragment of a whale ramp. there are also fossils of dolphins,
10:43 pm
sharks. a prehistoric sloth and deposits of snails, clans, and other invertebrates, the layers of rock alike an open history book. that's why patricia opinion is and her colleagues from the n g o car to cover our fighting to make this a unesco deer park. welcome or i'll gladly, italy meant the gala one that would give the reach an international g o scientific standing nasa. they live very close every this idea was born within the community itself, which unesco like only that community that they were gone beyond been done. but people here want environmental change and projects to promote more sustainability or no awfulness. douglas is you're going to yemen. the day want the area to be defined by industry as a sacrifice own. oh, the full, so feel good to go full. so bro youth, doleful symptoms, but our political help to protect the town from devastation and help it to be
10:44 pm
revitalized when i, when i, for my little bit of betsy opinion, is once a fundamental overhaul of the regions image. it's your part that attract tourists. she feels that's the only way to get the state to monitor industrial emissions. chili's current government has promised it will try to close one of the factories and prevent any further expansion of the industrial facilities. for the 1st time, environmental protection is top of the agenda. is compromise soil in the government of president boric is committed to ending the sacrifice zone and transforming it into an ecological restorations on that. i would assume i'm good, we've already made great strides towards this goal. in the 1st 7 months of government, illegal, you know, a few of them died. in 2023. we planned to monitor harmful pollutants more stringently inching terror pulling from covey and anywhere else in the country. now
10:45 pm
definitely down there by communities here are still waiting for real improvements. air pollution levels are still extremely high and children in the region are suffering. but teaching opinion is, takes local school children on field trips to show them places in the sacrifice zones that are worth protecting. happy to day, she's with children and teachers from an elementary school. there, climbing a mountain to an abandoned mind, to analyze the minerals. i met with that it. it's a stone with copper and cords. yes. it's very beautiful. community, the beard that you call me. why this stone looks my court's in a different color. you believe it, david? i can see green oh, or gold komodo. but 3 t opinion is his greatest wish is to open the children's eyes to the ecological and geological treasures of kin tad o. poacher covey can so let them yet,
10:46 pm
but annoy retina. yeah, i asked him and i will not exon well, you know, what if, if the, if by the morning this is your heritage and you're the ones you must protect it somehow that we're here to pass on everything we know so that you can protect it in the future for the human with them. they hope that the decades of environmental destruction will finally come to an end here and across all the sacrifice zones. in chile, sea levels are rising and rising in the 20th century by around $1.00 millimeters per year, a total of about 15 centimeters. now they're rising by almost 3 times as much due to melting polar ice and expanding warmer sea waters. for many of the world's coastal dwellers, the big, urgent question is, what can we do when the water comes?
10:47 pm
this is a home for us. this is where we have been burned. we have grown up. there's no place like this world as a community. we're not ready to move longer as being fishing, but when i started on to the fishermen was i full time longer, very the now very dangerous place right now. i mean, it's on the point where people are moving away because of this religion in you are leaving here. when you play a water, you know that the home life. so even
