i played with she survived. oh, schmidt's thanks to music me. he was the nazi's favorite conductor. 2 positions under the swastika documentary about the sounds of power and inspiring story about survival. music in nazi germany. watch now on youtube dw documentary. 03 . ah, well, not surprising at all. everyone in my city is used to listening. there are heaps of waste on the road side. and i've got plastic waters like these that everywhere. and it's not just us, even the cars are annoyed. the poor thing, the eat,

them choke on them and then they die. okay, maybe that's a little do more of it to start visual. but like always we find a silver lining. hello and welcome. i'm saw that got their body and you all watching eco, india. and today we will find out more about this plastic on a planet or waste that it has generated. speaking of people are always swing plastic every with that, she'll 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 coating the streets of tonight, picking up any and every the sake of the plastic that they can find the part of an initiative called award for plastic. if things do these of in this, against lifting of plastics and educate people on the harmful effects of plastic lucian, everybody talks about plastic. also say yes, we shouldn't goose 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 warranty is 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 environment and sustainability through his art. a byproduct of one such artwork is work for plastic. ah, i made an art will called killer, we're using 44001 liter water budget. for this i needed to find as much plastic as i could. i took plastic waste from channels, beaches and roads. that process was really interesting to an advocate littering and,

and sure people don't to, based on the street. we have to make sure that they also pick up the best home that stayed here and not so walk for plastic started when the happening today was the plastic has become a global network with over 10001 in tears from 12 different countries. most of the plastic vase discarded on the streets, it's plastic packaging materials. they either end up in lanfield or blog, the pool of water in doing that contribution to flooding of cities during monsoons . on the other hand, smaller plastics make their way through the drains w dot oceans. in 2016, the indian government made producers, importers, and brand donors, big responsibility for this waste through recycling, reuse, autrand of slave disposal. little mandated an action plan to be submitted by brown donors by only 2017. but imposing agencies like the central pollution control board seem to hold manufacturers accountable. that has been no update on this ever since

. as a result, consumers and want to valid these have to bear the responsibility of handling plastic. however, while india said that many people simply don't care about it, you know, people are so you don't need to do the job. the government is located people for the why are you doing it? but people keep point laughter every wheel. if i just lost it from a thought and please keep listening or what and all that. so not to the habit of the dream has not changed, even if there's a dustbin 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 ultimate is one of us decided not to depend on anyone. they walk the streets amy, to meet, change one plastic bottle at the time to do those efficiently. they don't to their head of operations. john nodded back and let it go a lot. i did get a follow patients in the backend, like the design content and data management teams. we also collect information on upcoming without the formation number one. all right,

well let me jump in frequently, clinics are distinct to ensure everything stays on track. okay, so data collection over, i mean there were 8 walks with a total of $28.00 k d last day 9. joining from going to go to andrea, who maintain a database on every walk that has happened so far. others present in the call include problem to come out and organize from chimney and j cushion and police and posters for anyone that day please choose a lot. so there is a crew behind and we never force anybody to do. was fun to come forward with the to do i have the scale. i can contribute to work for plastic. you know, cuz i'm, i'm really happy and share my burden and travel along the sag bank. i can, if it's later on or 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 induced big the plastic to any citing collection center. the shopkeeper weighs the plastic that they've collected. and since the amount directly to walk for plastics, bank account meadows, that is a higher one. and yesterday, and 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 they've collected nearly $1.00 like a piece which is about the $1800.00 euro's 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 and i'm going to change stock from a single i will do it for the next my friends the me and. 2 my community changes and it's slowly grew and go pay to go to the garbage. you're in dollars. my one set of people with everybody. looters, right? then everybody should be made of a citizen that any shade those like well for plastic,

encourage people to pay more attention to how much blasting they consume and how safely they discarded goldman. his team believe that the government needs to impose existing laws for manufacturers and enlist in better ways processing technologies to ensure pollution for the cities and water bodies. you don't watch is the biggest problem with waste management and execution. by the time the trash from our homes reaches us, it's always dumbed into this one big. as a child, i would get really and hide by how my mother dealt with all the way to the house. so all the way 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

it. but that 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 or lot of people along with her on this journey. so let's go ah, the management plagues, cities globally with trash piling up in river landfills 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 with into biodegradable and non biodegradable components and part of the technology to reuse them.

somebody take me if you are not due to the cycled in all this trash good to the sense that the least of land in low income country is a shortage of speeds. and again, this is incinerated to kind of the 4 years of working in the lansing developer machine. it separates $200.00 times. i'm drawing a red raised every day, meaning biodegradable food and the non biodegradable v butler dealer article the way that you talk bearing savings to found the business trash gone in bangalore. 2 years later, she employs 50 people founder thought of jane, gave up his job as an economic advisor to go into business with home. i don't know if anybody knew it. i think that i don't statement will help him in and then i knew the dumpster and i saw

a woman who was operating the plastic waste with her hands at the time this because used to manually separate the waste. there was no machine available. any local patrick lot, that's going to get you. and so we decided to develop a machine to help these people alignment so they no longer have to use their hands when handling reason. linelle until you nicky. oh hey, thank you. it's like the fast customers. my local authorities feel what press one that says the best thing about the prescott is not the most rest here. whatever the read, 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 gets sold to farmers in the region. the plastic is shredded

sorted and recycling into furniture, shelving chairs and tables. we are focusing on so didn't applications that focuses on its strength. so this is a waterproof monday to 100 person order proof. it to start might goof and best buy, can be recycled again and again and again near the eyes, visiting the school. do ours outside. bangalore that's benefited from her project. i foundation by trash, bonds, recycled for nature and donate to schools in rural areas by letter hathaway visited in a destiny. there were no benches and tables in the school. so the students used to sit on the floor and then we contacted trashcan, and a foundation gave us $35.00 benches on table one. i might as quickly apprentice nestle probate govea sigh above us,

as i used to sit on the floor in the classroom and always at a cold. but now we have benches, and i don't get sick, even in bad weather. but melanie with gov under nearby this project has also toward the children about waste disposal, and they have learned that their furniture is made from plastic that's been recycled. well, now, what is saw my, the end of the eel didn't have 1000 times more capacity. we will be stablish and un plans in feinstein as we have already exploded our machines to the philippines. look at leah, trash consultants machines in bangladesh, navarro. and the middle east, the young indian entrepreneur is helping solve the world's this problem one landfill at a time. may i think well, we'll adena 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, 5th to 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 europe's 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 world wars to plastics,

polluters, because it's something new over miss blue bay. the key drivers of our massive plastics. problem of the 350000000 tons of plastic waste. the wall produced in 2019 only an estimate of 9 percent actually called for cycle. 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 point. 8 percent recycled p t and 20242025. they now have yet another new goal. and we committed by 2025 to 100 percent protect 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've got some famous actors on board. the collaboration with highlight, i think, is a very sort administrative and 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 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 up on the n g o 0 waste. europe has this to say, yes. so basically,

you know, i have an issue with that 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 way 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 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 and treated, it will not be recycling practice leverage. capella says instead materials might end up being incinerated, put in landfills or even worse left to little, the environment,

promising to use already recycled. 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 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, much harder to recycle plastics like polypropylene l d p or h d p, or a combination of many materials. remember those caps and wrap us from the beginning . those are notoriously hard to recycle even if they are collected mostly on the downside into low re products like cheap construction material. meaning that companies often highlight the easiest material to recycle, instead of mentioning the mountains of absolutely not, reflect little lace 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 these commitments and trucks that progress companies are hiding behind the orange commitments and not doing the changes that they would need to do. and sunday, she doesn't really have a stick, you know, they have their parents. 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 the company european legislation around the world. more and more countries are imposing restrictions on plastic packaging. the number of regulations on thing 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 straw, 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 recycled content. and by 2030, this target will be raised to 30 percent. and change needs to happen in each stab 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 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 plastics promises. some of them will even be mandatory,

at least within the u. i. u, a beach watson, autumn mountain bus. and well, i'm a mountain person and he has 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 beach, 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, some one much like us went on a hike. so all of this trash. but he didn't stop there. he decided to do something about it to give back to the mountain. something for all the com and piece that big 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. i log angles,

hyperlink up, angle to man, every one, his 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 thrive bad looks also like allowable expense of by dollar point. 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 keen water bodies near flat areas and dumped their beast directly into the rivers. these rivers, a crucial to local biodiversity. and they're equally important to local communities these days, the diverse categories, washing 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 thing. they had a very simple answer. then 15 years ago they could block wound from the sheep 3 times a year. you know, it's just once a young lady of m on got that they might be veritable karaoke beard. this is because the new to the value of the grass is degraded 8 d to let us know fluffy, 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 simplistic, but 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. all this process trash we collect with a volunteers is brought to a material recovery facility where we employ local resident money, courses, and retry 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, 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 in laws,

schoolchildren from neighboring villages messes up their key. i'm now called the right to me that we saw your work and started doing the same on our own policy. and now our efforts have grown to such an extent. becky, it makes me happy to see that they could see in the movement without me tomorrow, but he gets ikea. mickey, gosh, ok. also your social media to spread the word we get many people writing to was seeking to voluntary when a dis molest. awkward thousands of people are now helping undo the damage to the am aaliyah's. healing him allah as a spreading, the idea that being a tourist here in the mountains means leaving them in a better state than they found. ah, plastic in my trash can in my streets, everywhere in my life, even in la cation sports. but to day stories left me truly inspired does look at the same problems that we always deal with. but the pink of solutions that truly make our dog lives better. but you will let me know what to do like the most about
