ah ah ah well not surprising at all. everyone in my city is used to living. there are heaps of waste on the road side and of costs last the waters like these that every wish. and it's not just us, even the calls are noise. the 14th the eat, them choke on them and then they die. ok, maybe that's a little do more where to start visual. much like always we find this in relating. hello and welcome. i saw that got the body and you all watching equal india. and today, we will find out more about this plastic on a planet, a waste that it has indicated. speaking of

people always swing plastic every with us. you see the sash, pick it up and decide to do something about it. recycle it up, cycle it or something even more exciting. so let's call me these people. this is coping the streets of tonight picking up any and every the sake of the plastic that they can find the part of an initiative called walk for plastic. it seems to raise awareness against lifting of plastics and they to get people on the harmful effects of plastic lucian, when he talks about plastic, also say yes, we shouldn't use plastic, but nobody is ready to take the responsibility, right? this is got them, and the blue belt behind him is 80 kilograms of plastic the p and the one in tears collected with their bare hands as an artist, he specializes in creating social artwork. using these 20th, his main goal has been to spread messages on environmental sustainability through

his act. a byproduct of one such art work is work for plastic. ah, it will be, i made an art will called killer will using 44001 liter water bottle. for this i needed to find as much plastic as i could. i took plastic whizzed from tin, alt beaches and roads. that process was really interesting to an advocate littering and then sure people don't to based on the street. we have to make sure that they also pick up the best on that side year and that so what for plastic started happening today was the plastic has become a global network with over 10001 and 2 years from 12 different countries. most of the plastic vase discarded on the steve is plastic packaging materials.

they either end up in land, food, or block. the pool of water in doing that contributes to flooding of cities during monsoons. on the other hand, smaller plastics make their way through the drain. w dot ocean. in 2016, the indian government made producers, importers, and run donors. big responsibility for this waste through recycling reuse aren't of have disposal. that old mandated an action plan to be submitted by brown donors, bailey, 2017. but imposing agencies like the central pollution control board failed to hold manufacturers accountable, that has been no update on this ever since. as a result, consumers and wanted to valid these have to bear the responsibility of handling plastic with. however, while anthea said that many people simply don't care about it, you know, alaska, you don't need to do the job. the government is looking to people for the why are you doing it? but people keep going plot to every bill. if i just lost it from a thought and please keep missing or what no, no, no,

to the habit of the drilling has not changed even if there's a dust been in front of some people's ideal. but sustainability for everyone, right. what we do is good for everyone, but many people don't understand. maxim on the medical mark on. both of them is one of us decided not to depend on anyone. they walk the streets amy, to me, change one plastic bottle to turn to know the sufficiently, they don't to that head of operation just not and not back and let it go a lot. i did get a follow patients in the back in like the design content and data management teams . we also collect information on coming without being late information number collect one. all right? everybody let bernie johnson frequent keep an extra distinct to ensure everything stays on track. okay, data collection over, i mean there were 8 walks with a total of 249 the last day, 9. joining franklin with our godi and prayer, who maintain a database on every walk that has happened so far. others present in the call into

problem to come out and organize from chimney and j cushion and police and posters for any events that they please who was so there is a crew behind work and we never force anybody to do work to come forward with the to do i have the scale, i can contribute to walk to class, but you know what i'm yes i'm, i'm really happy when to share my burden and travel along the sag bank. i can, if it's later on over the course of 4 years, they fall, kills 2500 these and collected nearly 30 tons of plastic bodies. again at the end of every walk, one into the big the plastic too. and he said in collection center, the shopkeeper weighs the plastic that they've collected. and since the amount dedicate to work for plastics, bank account that over there is a higher one and piston. they store large quantities like you see here,

and send them in bulk directly to the recycling unit for the larger profit margin. so far, we've collected nearly $1.00 like cookies, which is roughly $1800.00 euros and use that money towards being the school fees of children whose parents are conservancy workers. nice because and my name is kevin, just sort of thing that wasn't going to change stocks from a single. i will do it for the next. my friends sees me and does my community changes and it's slowly grew and go pay to go to the garbage. you're in dollars, my once it people and everybody looters, right? then everybody should be down. citizen, let me shade those like well for plastic, encourage people to pay more attention to how much blasting they can feel and how safely they discarded goldman. his team believe that the government needs to enforce existing laws for manufacturers and enlist in better ways processing technologies to ensure pollution for the cities and what the bodies you don't watch is the biggest problem with waste management and segregation. by

the time the trash from our homes reaches us, it's always dumb the into this one big down. as a child i would get really and hide by how my mother dealt with all the way to the house. so all the ways from the kitchen would go into the forest and everything is for me, you will save us 2 broken electronics and even plastic waters were sold off to a local, grab dealer every other sunday, so much time would go into it. and that would really annoy me. the only good thing that came out of this was the fuel box that the us, the slab dealer gave. my mother would directly come to me every other sunday as to what day it is. a woman who has taken this waste aggregation game to a whole other level. and today we will meet her because she is benefiting lots of people along with her on this journey. so let's go a waste management plagues cities globally

with trash piling up in river landscape and st. this is also a problem here in bangalore. nivia got him decided it was a problem. she could no longer ignore when she was still an engineering student, maybe that developed technology to segregate waste into biodegradable and non biodegradable components. and part of the technology to reuse them. somebody take me if you are not you to define all of this trash good to the support that's the rest of land and low income countries is a shortage speeds and so is incinerated to come to 34 years of walking the lances to develop our machine it separates 200 dry and red raised

every day, meaning biodegradable food and the non biodegradable the title of dealer or so the way that you talk bearing savings to found the business trash gone in bangalore. 2 years later, she employs 50 people, use founder, thought of jane, gave up his job as an economic advisor to go into business with the jim. if anybody knew with him, we got the statement and we'll help him in. and then i 1st knew where the dumpster and i saw a woman who was operating the plastic waste with the hands at the time this because used to manually separate the waste. there was no machine available in the country that's going to get you. and so we decided to develop a machine to help these people when it saw they no longer have to use the hands when handling in a tenure nikki, the is the 1st customers for local authorities in your what phone

us at. see the best thing about the brush, go lose. nothing was rest here. whatever the road it becomes from a new, whatever the bravest comes. it is. it is a girl and made as different funny jobs. buzz renters. that the basic principle sorting plastic waste from organic waste. this gets recycled into biofuel. that get sold to farmers in the region. the plastic is shredded sorted and recycled into find a job, shelving chairs and tables. we are focusing on certain applications that focuses on its strength. so this is a waterproof modeling 100 plus. in order to prove it,

the star might goof and best buy can be recycled again. and again in the navy, the eyes visiting the school to ours outside. bangalore that's benefited from her project. a foundation buys trash, pawns, recycled furniture and donates if 2 schools in rural areas. by little half way, visit it in a depth on a. there were no benches and tables and in the school. so the students used to sit on the floor and then we contacted them trashcan, and a foundation gave us a $35.00 benches and a believe. and i might as quickly bind his missile probate about of you say above us. and i used to sit on the floor in the classroom and always article, but now we have benches and i don't get sick even in bad weather. in 1000000, edward called me read this project has also toward the children about please disposal. and they have learned that their furniture is made from plastic. that's been recycled. well now there is saw my, the end of the e o v. they'll have 1000 times more capacity. we will be stablish and new plans in

5 states. we have already exported our machines to the philippines and leah trash consultants machines in bangladesh, the fall and the middle east. the young indian entrepreneur is helping solve the world's this problem one landfill at a time. may i guar will, elena? every one across the world knows these, bram, i mean that every where's this one was even ashcroft 27 last year and when i say everywhere, i mean everywhere. remember that done that we would do a little while ago? if i sift through the waste, i will find you 10 of these bought isn't under minutes. this contribution heavy me to plastic waste across the globe along with several other brands. and all of these brands have also been talking was becoming equal friendly and recyclable. sustainable green, you know the corner would, but how much of it is actually to,

let's find out you probably recognize at least some of these products they made by your biggest food manufacturers. and no matter where you live, the hard to avoid. 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. 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 well the worst plastics polluters . because the solar, something new over the bay of the key drivers of our massive plastics. problem of the 350000000 pounds of plastic waste. the wall produced in 2019 only an estimate of 9 percent actually got

recycled. much more it gets released into the environment poisoning, ocean soil and even the air we breathe. so we wanted companies promised to talk that plastic waste, do they actually deliver? take the friendship giant unknown, for example. it's best known for dairy products, but it is also one of the world's biggest bottled water companies with brands, including a, my zone and indonesian, back in 2009. the non promised t is 20 to 30 percent recycled p t 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. no mention of the previous commitment. but globally, the non waters still used only 19.80 percent recycle p t and 20242025. they now

have yet another new goal and committed by 2025 to a 100 percent recycle beach. and for all our grants in europe and 50 percent after dragging its promises out for over a decade, dunham has at least made some progress of the companies or even further away from their own commitments. nestle only used 5 percent recycled 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 i 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 should have been invited in smart way to take a step toward cleaning operations on. i believe one of the brands that is more 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 effort a success. plastic that had actually been my colleague. i made a whole video about the challenges of recycling ocean plastic and loretta cappello policy campaign on the n g o 0 waste. europe has this to say, yes. so basically, no, have any soon, 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 and said 0,

i says the priority should be to reduce plastic waste at the source, essentially, i need to close the pack. but when we looked at what companies actually promised, we found out of almost $100.00 stretches, only $1.00 and $5.00 even aim to reduce the amount of plastic use tim 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 capella 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. t 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 launched bottles made sometimes entirely from recycle p t

. but only 17 percent of all plastic packaging is made of p t. the remaining 83 percent are much harder to recycle plastics like polypropylene, l e p e, or h d p, or a combination of many materials through those caps and wrap up from the beginning. those are notoriously hard to recycle even if they are collected mostly on the downside fall into low grade products like cheap construction materials. meaning that 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 pleasures around plastic packaging. foundation then collect 6 commitments and trucks that progress companies are hiding behind the orange commitments and not doing the changes that they would need to do and sundays

doesn't really have a stick. you know, they have their kara, what happens is companies lead. 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 many of the company in europe in legislation around the world. more and more countries are imposing restrictions on plastic packaging. the number of regulations, something to use. plastics like bags or styrofoam has exploded in the past decade. the european union has now recently followed suit and passed some ambitious plastic legislation as well under the single use plastics directive, disposable items such as plastic, bag country and straws cannot be distributed within new markets anymore. and the directive also includes targets for recycled plastics. by 2025 p. t bottles need to have at least 25 percent of like a content. and by 2030,

this target will be raised to 30 percent and change needs to happen and it needs to happen 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 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 said, plastics promises, some of them will even be mandatory, at least within the u. i. u, a beach watson or mountain boston. well, i'm a mountain person and here's your proof in 3 pictures. and i love what you know, what we're doing all my pictures, even in these beautiful, picturesque mountain clash. yeah. even in high mountain be where i would go to make

myself feel like an explorer in and explore the mountains. i would still find trash, and a lot of my friends have the same story. but you know someone much like us went on a hike, saw all of this trash. but he didn't stop that. he decided to do something about it to give back to the mountain. something for all the common piece that they give all of us. anybody he met them low gas em day. the 1st time we were on a short trip to a place called satan don't like after about 2 and a half hours of hiking it restarted, cleaning up the into. i mean, i had convinced 34 of my friends to craig with a different public eye lug angles, hyperlink up, angles, man. every one has dates and the initial half an hour and, but eventually people get on board and start picking up the wasting. their develop, a sense of trying to bad look, saw so like allowable expense of by dollar pull up. but that's not necessarily true of the millions of dollars. so come to the him aaliyah's every year. they often set

up camps wherever they find clean water bodies near flat areas and dump their beast directly into the rivers. these rivers are crucial to local biodiversity, and they're equally important to local communities. these days, the diverse categories watching trash and pollution into the heart of these mountain villages. this is the problem that pradeep sanguine is trying to address his organization, healing him aaliyah's, takes people on hikes in the region that also involves picking up trash. he was inspired by his interactions with the people who have lived here for decades . being one of the biggest, or the most fascinating interactions with the shepherd community. i was when i asked them about their understanding of climate change. they had

a very simple answer. 1015 years ago they could block wound from the sheep 3 times a year. now, it's just once a year eligible on got that mit veritable karaoke american house. this is because the new to the value of the grass is degraded by you to let us know for you to know . we have lots of big words for climate change, just because of snowfall. come, olga, we have a lot, but for them it's very simple. it seem like it's directly related to their lively pradeep efforts are aimed at changing long established behaviors among tourists and locals in the himalayas. where the tourism industry remains largely unsustainable. he wants to go beyond cleanups and introduce locals to new ideas about the value of recycling waste, rather than simply running it are mighty well and we try our best to involve local residents and the work we do. if we want to move towards a secular economy, it cannot be done without including the local communities audits for us,

the trash we collect with a volunteers is brought to a material recovery facility where we employ local resident medical history. we try to ensure that the material we collect become the source of livelihood for those who live here, these letters at the material recovery facility lucas, like children who have helped multiply healing him aaliyah's efforts. initially he simply wanted to clean up his visit, but now he oversees the sorting and recycling of waste. it means a lot of trash doesn't get sent to a landfill. pradeep regular outreach also involves school children from neighboring villages. messes up their key. i'm now called the right to me that be so your work and started doing the same on our own policy. and now i'll efforts have grown to such an extent. thank you. it makes me happy to see that they could sustain the movement without me mix them up. but he jessica mickey goggle shall be all to you. social media to spread the word to get many people writing to want seeking to voluntary will dis,

molest. awkward. thousands of people are now helping undo the damage to the himalayas. healing him ali as a spreading. the idea that being the tourist here in the mountains means leaving them in a better state than they found them. ah, plastic in my trash can in my street, everywhere in my life, even in my vacation spots left today, stories left me truly inspired. does look at the same problems that we always deal with, but the pink of solutions that truly me either lives better, but you will let me know what did you like the most about today's episode. and what would you like to see more of? you can write to us at eco, india added a d, w dot com. i see you next week until then take a good bye. thank
