the artisan baker honed his craft and france and germany is bakery doubles as a laboratory. here he invents new and original treats, such as his trademark, forget made with algae, the al, get the cystic this. it's important that people note, this is a natural product for him is making something like this. uh huh. which simple ingredients makes me happy. ah, ah me, and over the past 12 years, he's been making a lot of customers happy. here in the village of morning, outside unit jack walls, unconventional concoctions and use of regional ingredients have won the hearts and pallets of locals, his alligators, a big hit mama, i live, we've tasted everything. whenever there's been something new,
9:33 am
we've tried it as one should with me are gay. nevertheless, at the end of every days a while is faced with a problem, familiar to many vegas piles and piles of unsold left over bread. some of it can be used as bread crumbs mixed into doze, throwing out the bread as a last resort, due largely to the financial component. both the ingredients and the energy costs were baking or expensive. germany's food and agriculture ministry estimates the nation's bakeries produce more than $600000.00 tons of surplus bake goods per year . packed on to a column of trucks bumper to bumper, they to cover the distance from frankfurt to munich. and there is another issue that bothers ludovico job, while the use of palm oil and pastries and cream fillings. is tanked as yeah, we probably need 10 kilos of palm oil per week, then it's everywhere and it's hidden her arm so you don't realize all the products . it's intellect, muncie, destiny, stuff. this is new product. it's time to grind up the stale bread and thomas book
9:34 am
has come to help. he's a professor of biotechnology who has spent years working on creating an alternative to palm oil. and he might, will have found a solution that addresses both of jab walls, predicaments. his idea is to turn left over bread into cooking oil until i'm toaster. the ellen are on the on monday we met because my daughter and his daughter attend the same school as grace my as an artist and vega, becker ludowici, always based certain challenge. all we got to talking one time. and he asked me if i had any innovative new ideas for his bakery. sheer, an innovative anoint. i gave it some thought in latin, and mentioned our new yeast oil on this to show that it was a heifer castile. he said he used a lot of palm oil for baking issue palmer, and that while there were alternatives 2nd, most of them were very expensive. i was it and didn't deliver the results he wanted . in the last, on the scanner header,
9:35 am
stop shonda us king my professor's resourceful idea was to turn the final ground bread into cooking oil harvested in the lab rather than the field unless it's met. i'll take this with me in a week and a half from now bring back the product and i'm at home. okay. i'll finish over of our new oven every morning on the island of borneo in indonesia. and ma'am goes a li ventures into the jungle to bring breakfast to rescue durango hans. the animals have suffered amid the palm oil boom. they faced displacement and poaching . but here at sambo, charles tarry an animal rescue center. they have a safe refuge. bonnie, in a wrangler hands are an endangered species. they need an intact rain forest to survive. but all around the sanctuary, the habitat is being destroyed. and the what is augoren,
9:36 am
which i will not look at is a lot in. we are grateful for this place. on but we have a duty to conserve the forest for the future and on the law so that not just the rang attends, but also our children can continue to live here. these baby wrangle hands were luckily rescued and time discovered in the jungle with no parents unable to fend for themselves. they now have human guardians. once they're old enough, they'll be released back into the wild. ruby is having trouble adjusting. she's now 2 years old, but still physically weak and scared of humans. so a mom goes alley, always approaches carefully and with a mosque to reduce the risk of transmitting infections to the animal. and how it and letting a god, one day we found her on an oil home plantation, a she likely fell victim to land clearing on by end of another duncan.
9:37 am
so she was still very small when we came across her orangutan mothers don't normally leave their babies on their own. so we think her mother must have been killed by theodore ruby's plight as one shared by many other animals. experts estimate that the orangutan population on borneo now numbers only a few, 10000 having plunged by 3 quarters since 1950. in that same period, borneo lost over half of its forested area. the rank hands natural habitat here. the culprits logging mining and the rapid expansion of oil palm plantations. these alarming developments were a wake up call for the last st. off morality. although her oil palm plantation is small, she wants to make a big difference. today she's talking to other local farmers about the devastating
9:38 am
impact of deforestation in again, my boy happens. you've seen an orangutan before and her in a lab or a protected b. c. if you see one, you don't hurt or should it hurt them? hunting them is not permitted here, but by ria, via phone, on by her audience here in kong, bang as learning how to manage their plantations more sustainably. the last 3 is effectively the quality assurance manager for this cooperative enough of the groups . common goal is to obtain the r s p o certification. now i've had to do that. it's only would it by the round table on sustainable palm oil for meeting sustainable environmental and social standards. recipients need to have a proven commitment to a range of principals, including no failing of primeval forests, minimizing their use of chemical pesticides, and fertilizers and no slash newbern. agriculture. that i have had a small holder to go and tells to last year about the common practices here again
9:39 am
and again. i think often times the soil is sprayed with weed killers in order to contain overgrown grass. but those toxic chemicals come with consequences. local farmers did not expect them. buckner had thought, well, a betty the oil palms. dod producing fruit through the whole oh, looks like you did. are there some sally deeper han, the branches were broken early. but i the hands are, we can, we could see that the trunks became really hard on the inside. then sat broadening the thought. but i knew that us all of it with the reduced harvest, came a reduced profit and the realization that something had to change. as a result, farmers here are working toward more sustainability and earning arist pio certification means the prospect of increasing their income and other worthwhile reason. and the trees can provide for more than just
9:40 am
oil marco's montage curve on guy from clowers. seizing this potential. oh, there's no to fall on, it feels great and sure enough for the lovely product with a nice color or manner really fresh smell. the product earning his praises, a new raw material made from waste. lou thailand is the world's 3rd biggest producer of palm oil. but every harvest also generates huge quantities of empty fruit bunches, traditionally seen as waste and disposed of accordingly. but that surplus material from palm oil production is precisely what interests the german businessman. his company recycles the fibrous fruit, hust, turning them into the raw material for a new type of packaging material. he and a team of experts spent
9:41 am
a long time devising the complex production process, with a lot of trial and error. it took 12 years to set up a production chain that was both sustainable and economically viable. for you. guys from cloud found the ideal partner in the tie, eastern pulp and paper company. it was while reading an article about paper shortages that he had the idea of creating a raw material from oil, palm waste. i lose fuzzy online, co, everything you buy online needs packaging on bottle. but where did the raw materials come from? that was our starting point, and that's why the answers from equivocal now, here the plant waste is further processed. the empty fruit bunches are loaded onto especially developed conveyor washer next to fiber. bundles of further separated the individual plant fibers provide the basis with a new commodity, their hollow light and easy to reprocess in a process lasting several hours. they are boiled than washed again and separated
9:42 am
again until all that remains is a soft plant pulp. and after a 22 hour drying process, the result is a crumbly material. other companies then use the product to make paper uncalled or products that are will to prove principal and compatible well done. the guns who have hulu. this is at the sophisticated an alcohol in japan . they have very high standards when it comes to packaging as was introduced yourself, i'm proud that our material is being used there for high quality packaging like this. it's not an album of severe. we've developed a material that works and that's great promotion on his function. you still should it's a win win situation. the oil palm waste is put to good use and it's
9:43 am
a source of income for local fog. a key ally in the ideas development was an entrepreneurial family. in thailand, selena cook canoe to porn has already won a major award for sustainable management. what we are doing with them is the market in this project is them help us to create if there are sustainable values. sheehan from my current business and to make the farmer i can ah, earn more and generate more income our business. this one is also to bring their sustainable, intuitive power or industry in thailand. views receive looks of support because thailand wants to be at the forefront or sustainable agriculture. there, all plans to build several more factories to produce the new raw material cation cloud and has partners grant licenses for the innovative technology, only to sustainable palm oil producers. okay. and can i
9:44 am
from clowers, continually perfecting the production process, which inevitably involves troubleshooting issues with new machinery. they're adopting the armstrong, we thought we were done on one of the egg newson, but we still have to make further improvements. that's veterans. it will probably cost us 2 working days. yep, that's good on this. also the issue of employee safety. i need solutions that have no loose ends. the organ knows, i know, on co meanwhile, and the technical university of munich thomas book is investigating where the leftover bread can become a genuine substitute for palm oil supply . that one's pretty good. this one is a lot of amish live, the little hidden,
9:45 am
returning organic waste into cooking oil is an idea that the researchers here have been working on for over 7 years now. dr. matthews, missouri is a constant source of ideas. the principle is the same as with fermentation using ease to bring about a chemical conversion. just like with brewing beer via not foolish it board read is a fantastic raw material because it dissolves so easily when they're mentioned. if we humans can dissolve storage and proteins for food and we stuff than micro organisms, definitely, well run this 1st. after the left over bread has been ground into powder, special enzymes are added to break it down into sugar and other compounds. next yeast cultures are introduced to feed on the sugar and form an oil inside the cells . the oil is extracted sent to the bakery and used to bake bread. a prime example of a circular economy. but there's not much oil in it. it's only day one of that it was, but there is that drop of oil oh through so can for them i would you find the black
9:46 am
vesicles this is on concerning, but let sale of amazon. ok. that's the alarm. and it's also unusual that they're all in the division based on the wound we subjected the cells to especially stressful conditions. angelique. the, they don't look very healthy. it's and we've seen them in better condition before sunk is then he isn't on visa. these are the oil droplets inside the cell, not slight in 2 days later on. so they have a 90 percent saturation and also exactly the right point to harpist them canada type of food on the hampton harvest, in this case means to solving and extracting the oil and rich cells to produce cooking oil. in 3 days the team can produce up to 70 liters. it's very thick. the palm oil substitute now goes back to baker ludovico jaguar. yeah, he's going to try baking with the oil that was produced from his stale bread. and it's very curious to see how the results will taste
9:47 am
in so lusty ultima was he has been up since to a n. she has a lot to do. before heading out to the plantation, she takes care of her 4 children. her income goes towards feeding her family. 6 palm oil is an integral part of people's lives in this area in big and small ways and, and valley. hm. okay. of course, the palm oil is really important for us, my husband and then it has a positive impact on our society, myself included in my share that that was 5 years for be it. or it helps our economy laid them long bundle for economy. and that also also has hilldale club of the products like this cooking oil. one book got a really useful in our daily lives school day will be found in the summer,
9:48 am
did the idea. and if it were gone that fall, i can't imagine how we would make do without it. we manambra her plantation owns her, the equivalent of $200.00 euros a month. while the cost of living is relatively low in indonesia, that's only just enough for her to make ends meet. so last tree is aware of the problems that the plantations cause for both humans and nature. but the oil is central to many people's livelihoods. there is no real alternative to the controversial plant. soybean farming, for example, would require a far higher number of plants and a lot more land. producing one ton of palm oil requires just over a quarter of a hector. but it takes to hector's to produce a ton of soybean oil. that's almost 8 times as much space. but there is
9:49 am
a way forward sustainable farming practices on the land already and use without the need to clear more rain forest. among the people pushing for this change as our day k art, he works as a project leader for germany's main development agency g. i said he's working to help local producers meet arist pio standards. oh, so as there are said before, doesn't mean that everything perfect. as you can see here, right above we have this process certification process not the on the b o, o helped them to get thing beer, but also connect them with other are small hoarders. ah, with the same objective so they can talk, it's either they can, they can learn or it's other, at least this is the best way. it's not perfect. i understand, but that's the best way that we can see at the moment. our s p o certification does not mean a green eco label. what it does is ensure small but important adjustments to the
9:50 am
system. it's also a way to motivate people on the ground to voluntarily do more for conservation. today's the last 3 years, getting insights from my noon, another small holder from a nearby co operative the mother of aces, eager to under certification and hopefully increase her income on the death of her husband. a year ago means that she's dependent on her oil palms to support her family. chemical fertilizers or pesticides aren't in her budget. maria via the ethan. you're coming from the jackal us. i r. c. me. mando. lulu. i used to grow vegetables and res. lifestyle. in these aiden, and that's when i started using only organic fertilizers, the idea that it looks like when my animals didn't produce enough about some extra gold manure, for example. we are on that. so my mic us up is i will let them into, could be, i don't really use any chemicals, nor am can being
9:51 am
a little bundle on my van before. gimme i'm a mother. look around the cows grazing under her oil, palms keep the grass and weeds short. in addition to providing milk and natural, 0 cost fertilizer. so la street, off my water and my noon are among the 5000000 small holders world wide who are dependent on the palm oil industry. together this group of farmers produces almost 40 percent of the global output. smarty noon used to make a living from vegetables, cocoa, plants, and livestock, but she didn't own enough. so she turned to the more profitable palm oil production . as a gardener, she knows a variety of ways to save money, such as producing her own plant fertilizer, from whatever ends up at the compost. and she has a special trick, brown sugar, and it activates the bacteria and accelerates the process. her fertilizer is produced at low cost and with no chemicals, a sustainable and affordable solution. the last 3 years impressed and will be
9:52 am
introducing the idea to her co operative the hope is that the small holders will finally be able to get our s p o certification. just a few days later, the last 3 has come to the co operatives office to compile the work schedules for the coming week. she's now received the long awaited news that all the hard work of the last 2 years is paid off. the group was granted our s p o certification. i'm up a money from berlin. yeah, it wasn't easy for the farmers to understand everything. honey. again, we had to explain the programs every day and tell them what they need to do and what this will mean for them in the future. but we showed that getting the certification is possible. we're thought that difficult as fail. what's the last 3 and her cooperative do with that endorsement, will also have an impact on the future of the rain forest. over in thailand, mark was my tosca on cation cloud, and his team have worked tirelessly to get the new machine operational. they ended
9:53 am
up making and welding on brackets for the pressure pipes. as food, not it still needs insulation. it heats up quite a bit. so next comes full insulation done. then we'll be back to 20 hours a day operation park refill. and just in time, there's considerable interest in his raw material, so he needs everything running smoothly. ah, with the growing bars in southeast asia, the factory in thailand has a steady stream of high profile visitors among them as the country's biggest producer of disposable paper towels. the owners here and person to day, accompanied by 20 of his most senior managers and engineers
9:54 am
the company promptly signs a contract to buy the material and bulk together with irrelevant licenses. the many years of work are really paying off. if you ask, if you are happy, i years, what i see here. now what we are doing is in the eyes of customers and in the eyes on the world, i think the beginning is on the end of us plus we're making a change for the better i guess with, you know, making money is one thing. but then doing it in a way that brings real benefits, including for people who don't have anything to do with the paper, the forests are preserved. it feels great. cool. if you report off to creating a raw material for the future, the next step for guy from clown has partners is to expand into other countries. and there are already interested parties formula put it all back in germany. baker ludovico jaguar and his daughter are experimenting with the new oil . yeah, well, as it does with amazon,
9:55 am
the last few months have been full of change for jeff was a shortage of qualified staff, meant he had closed down his bakery. he's pivoted to working as a product developer and test baker. 13 year old, our mom dean shares, her father's passion for innovative baking, with both the new yeast oil and the super food al. again, national is all it tease life slightly nutty. but not like to see in sol, connect, it tastes really good. ah, and the lab produced oil works nicely in the pastry cream. it's easy to incorporate and tastes good. i so common sphere also must be there if you could use it for a gush or a glaze for all kinds of bread products. destiny men like rosa and pretzels bag and
9:56 am
even loaves of bread tooth, and no bread sale. and the knowing what even to anaheim to him in concert could use it for any kind of dough. normally made with butter on them are of the season i'm on deem has a create of st herself and is fascinated by new ideas like the yeast oil. she's even designed a t shirt illustrating the entire cycle, saving the rain forest and a rank of hands with the help of some smart solutions and a lot of left over bread taps might, as all i drew the picture, there's a baker done in this illustration shows that nothing gets thrown away, but what does this and if you think about it and it's a good alternative and could really make a difference contest, russ working. no, it was. and that we need to transform the whole system and we need a better world for her children to happen on that bit by bit. within that we can change things because i can't go on like this and i'm on versus get this writer.
9:57 am
these oil passed the tests conducted by the office and baker, and is in no way inferior to palm oil. professor thomas lucas, eager to spread the idea and pays a visit to pastry, chef alfred dos, ludovico, there was also there to provide practical tips. oh, hello. for north, like most bakeries, doors has a lot of leftovers come closing time. yeah. how about a more sustainable set up instead of throwing out all that expensive bread to the call from the yeast oil could offer an hannah says vc boone, the sag with thing soonest. of them, in fact i should sue in fact, we're now cheaper compared to conventional vegetable oils. legal and his take tom oil, her $1500.00 euros per ton. oh, the toner right now our price is probably $1000.00 euros. hold on a moment. i'll make it basically tastes like regular fat momos for dental when without any after taste
9:58 am
. this list is no way that i would have done it myself had the idea occurred to me . oh, boy, feeding surplus bread back into the cycle is not just good business for local bakeries. major chains generate food waste on a massive scale and have now also discovered the savings potential buy. they were also talking to large industrial bakeries with $6080.00 or a 100 tons of left over lion didn't. who could they get returned? deliveries from numerous supermarkets doesn't been. oh gosh, play issue. and it doesn't stop there. he's also had interest from food retainers across europe. the new cooking oil fashioned from leftover bread could be a viable alternative to palm oil and in the process help to conserve all rain forests.
