5:30 am
a risky brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage. the 45 minutes on dw would or sports all of our scoring we say they were about never giving up sports like every weekend on dw, the global trade, something that we all depend on, but rarely think about until something goes wrong. we all remember the stunning
5:31 am
images from march 2021 when the gigantic container ship ever given broad global traits to a halt. by getting stuck in a narrow waterway in the suicide canal, the vessel left almost $400.00 ships in the traffic down the blockade held up around $9000000000.00 of goods. men for destinations around the world are dependent on fragile global supply chains is one of our topics. i'm this weeks edition of made use weekly business show. and these are other reports. big chances how recycling cements can drastically cut the emissions big prophets, how corporations explored nature's knowledge, and big benefits, making sustainable fashion in indonesia of the history of global supply chains is a grim one. it began with exportation and slavery. the 1st product of a truly global supply chain was most likely run for its production. slaves were
5:32 am
moved from africa to the caribbean, to grow sugarcane, which was sourced from india. eventually the liquor ended up in distilleries in the us and europe capitalizing on lower salaries and cheaper resources from other countries. as also the main motive for modern supply chains today. expanding transport networks like the suicide canal trends, supply chains and to a mass phenomenon. car parts, for example, can now be delivered just in time to avoid storage costs. today, smart technology has revolutionized supply chains again. now they rely on sophisticated robots and 3 d printing. but what happens when one link in the chain breaks, can reach the producing of our supply chains, fail, dw, is malia and who to looked into the problem. this is a gem, an industrial sites with the state of the art production facilities. but what
5:33 am
happens when a war disrupts global supply chains, different materials? the moment at the moment, people are trying to make the best of a shortage economy. for what gemini is experiencing a commodities crisis, what has to change and how we are currently dependent on china. let's take the auto industry refueling, could look like this in the future. studies say that 3 out to 4 new cause and europe could soon be because this is an opportunity for chinese call make has to break into the european markets. that's in the chinese competitors have an edge when it comes to accessing raw materials. in comparison to conventional vehicles, e cause request 3 times as much casa, for example, as well as lucy and nichol, cobalt and rat, the battery. but these markets are dominated by china, which invested earning and international mining ventures. now showing that controls
5:34 am
the processing of low materials, the sharing global demand here in gemini. it's not just the auto industry that needs them. a number of new sectors, the competing for the same materials. come to a nickel and not just applied for e. com, batteries, wind and solar energy robots. 3 d printing services and other digital technologies also depend on these. metals is the same for cobalt, lithium and red us elements, which is driving up that prices just the commodity price is slowing down investment and renewable energy. i'll say what needs to be done in his homework. there's a lot of catching up to date. europe has relied on functioning supply chains to to go. one way to address is investing in local extraction. the stores there is tremendous potential in scandinavia, in the balkans or in spain and portugal in terms of raw metals all off the tire was
5:35 am
also it's also important to expand recycling to reese mounts and we use expensive muscles and find possible alternatives to rent us as well, as looking for new supplies, that boots is often price also will that be fine sourcing a lot of small the quantities from different countries that's obviously going to increase the price for the real kaiser will do the kinds of data and that will get passed on to the consumer by taking data. but if the focus is only on the price, that's the risk of making industry dependence. and in the current crisis, like in any other, we have experts, analysts, and every day people who say that they saw it coming all along. who claim they were aware of looming supply chain issues, years before they happened, for example. but no one can predict the future with other certainty. and being
5:36 am
a note on hindsight, can even be dangerous. according to business psychologists. what is hung side bias? often people claim after a crisis that they saw it coming all along. this is known in the hebrew economics as hindsight, bias or colloquially as the new it all along phenomenon. whether it was russia's invasion of crane and the subsequent gas prices for 2009 financial crisis, the 2012 euros on the debt crisis for the 2020 pen demons. even experts often claim after the event that they saw coming from how many of us things sometimes that certain things were bound to happen. but that can't be true. because economic crises, natural disasters, pandemic n flores can never be predicted for sure. after all,
5:37 am
we're not fortune tellers. at most, it's possible to calculate the probability of such risks. and those probably abilities are mostly very low. so where does the sense of having known it all along? come from human beings have a need to bring order to k us, so they convince themselves the world is predictable. that leads to considerable errors in judgment. so what can we learn from this generalizations like that was obviously going to happen are problematic. they overlooked the fact that similar cases could turn out quite differently in future. in the case of russia, some claim, the policy of reproach meant through trade has failed. but many experts say that's nonsense, intense trade relations reduce the likelihood of war. empirical evidence confirms that a hasty abandonment of this approach wouldn't make our world less safe. another problem with our
5:38 am
side bias, the awareness of other risks is diminished. many managers vastly overestimate the probability of the current crisis repeating itself, but lose sight of other weaknesses in their company. their focus is only on the current crisis, instead of preparing financially for the next crisis. for example, hindsight bias, stop system learning from experience, which is the one good thing that we should be taking away from a crisis. so remember only with the benefit of hindsight, part of the wise learning from mistakes to make better decisions in the future. that's also an essential approach to the climate crisis. and that's one needed when dealing with mass of c, o 2 emitters, like the cement production. cement is a key ingredient of concrete, which we used to construct, buildings, bridges, and roads. its production makes up 8 percent of global c o 2 emissions. that's more
5:39 am
than 3 times as much as the aviation industry, the cement industry, we're a country, it would be the 3rd largest emitter in the world. in recent decades, this production has been increasing rapidly. and 19951500000000 tons of cement were produced in 2021. that number rolls to almost 4500000000. but despite its dangerous environmental impact, only 2 percent of concrete waste is recycled to make new concrete, coast young feed use, visited businesses working to increase that number a. something's under construction everywhere you look, let's sand and gravel. the raw materials used for producing concrete are becoming scarce. and how do we avoid making concrete deserts that can't absorb brain water? experts are already developing solutions that work germany creeds, 280000000 tons of concrete waste every year. but at least of this revel will
5:40 am
soon be re purpose into a new concrete theme. a company in southern germany specializes in recycling, building materials, a crushing machine, turns the concrete pieces into small premiums, which are sorted by sides. the granules are then sold to submit manufacturers. what's good for whole theme can also be good for the environment, which i know onside processing can save millions of truck kilometers on armstrong. sam used to produce concrete is usually doug from large pits, then transported hundreds of kilometers. the same is true for gravel. the 2nd component and concrete, but sand and gravel are becoming scarce. at this construction recycling plant, old red roosting tiles are also used to produce concrete,
5:41 am
recycled sand is taken from an old construction pit. it's cleaned and saved before being sorted by size. this i'll see you as a bama. everything here used to be a bridge or a floor slab or a house and we're making something new from it. all this material would have ended up in landfills on, in some dump. and that we can use it to make high quality building products that are used to new construction project going if it's the recycled products, are then delivered to customers like to this nearby concrete. may these extra, this company is different from most of its competitors, because globally, only 2 percent of building materials get recycled. but this company depends on recycled materials, which account for 30 percent of its entire production. and the recycled concrete is less expensive to the materials are mixed in this
5:42 am
plant and then deliver it to customers. the final product will look like this. a building material that many customers prefer over conventional products. this new to buy. it's becoming more popular because people understand that we have to conserve resources and that's why demand is now greater than before me to buy and includes. so before your other solutions are also being develop at the cement plant, for example, permeable, concrete that can absorb rainwater. helping improve urban climates. this is something that you can watch all this in state. rainwater seems through this concrete bit and goes underground one which can help improve groundwater levels including cost, a whole size, beautiful base of when done enough. and then the orange can cost the water to evaporate, muscle illuminating hot surfaces and even done kind of so highs. relation to
5:43 am
this could help prevent concrete deserts was completely sealed surfaces and recycled. construction materials are also brought to this southern german company, which it uses to make concrete blocks. ingredients include recycled sand and recycled rock granules. they are constantly testing new stone formulas in the lab. experimenting with different colors, shapes and components to increase the port since i've recycled content, which is 30 to 40 percent. the recycled look is intentional. and for the good thing, we're primarily talking about of cycling the horn causative. we want to produce a very high quality design speed. this tile pattern creates an entirely new surfaces. you look at it and the guns loyal this is what it should look like. a new generation of recycled sidewalk with lots of green grass sprouting up in between.
5:44 am
and space for water to sleep into the ground. this is what many customers now want . a growth market for the concrete industry. the ideas behind lucrative modern technologies often come from nature, or specifically the discoveries of indigenous peoples. sometimes corporation use their knowledge to create a path and then generates billions and revenue, but the profits are not passed on. is that exploitation dw is louise osborne, explains cosmetics to build a pallet home. pres, pharmaceuticals specially developed helps soothe and relaxed and cleaning products . remove tough things like tomato so many of them contain ingredients originally derived from nature. and why not? i mean, there's a lot we can learn from the environments. it's not that simple. oh,
5:45 am
for the last decades, companies and institutions the claims natural compounds and substances as their own and hijacked the knowledge of how to use them. they have profited something to the tune of billions of dollars. who's paying the price. welcome to the wealth of bio, piracy bio prospecting is defined in the united nations document as the exploration of plant and animal species for the utilization of their genetic resources. it basically describes companies and institutions looking for new natural substances to use in the product. and then in recent decades it's, it's pharmaceutical companies. it's bias that companies big advert. cultural companies can or chemical companies as well that claiming intellectual property
5:46 am
rights relating to a lot of the research and development that they've been doing. and they're doing that through payton's. the idea is that new inventions cost companies time and money and research to help them make that back, pay to its, give them exclusive, right? so for that innovation, for such a period of time, then pop in the v should have a pipe in system will bid the industries i'd appreciate it to do this. it but it becomes more problematic when traditional knowledge of communities is involved. takes the name tree known as the tree of life in india. it has fost, medicinal and healing properties. and that can also be used to make organic pesticides and fungus sites. in 1995 us multinational, w r. grace withdrawn to the european patients. the name will used as part of it, so conic fungicide, new mix, a brand to us over $60000000.00 per year, according to a 2008 report indigenous communities in india had already been using name oil as
5:47 am
a funk aside for centuries. but others profited from that knowledge. the appropriate ation and commercialization of genetic resources like context strikes and indigenous smallish for profit. this is where by of prospecting content into bio piracy companies use patients to protect innovations, without fact compensation for communities with a genetic material and knowledge comes from. there should be a balance between the advancement in technology and also both as entre if he's not on it should be preserved. it should not be misappropriated. it took 10 years for the european. payton on the use of the need comp time to be overturned. but this is far from a typical outcome for indigenous communities. they often lack the funds and support to fight to patients. and there are other problems too. it can also be harmful to
5:48 am
buy a diversity. who do you a good night? is a plant found in south africa. it's like a cactus. essentially, it doesn't look appetizing, which is pretty fitting. because who do you is a natural appetite suppressant, the sun people of the region use the plant to keep them going while hunting? which is properties made it very attractive to business research. the south africa's count full for science, istic, and industrial research csr. you all use the plan to extract to formulate the molecule p $57.00 as a hung us the precedents for treating a piece of tea in the 1990 percent of peyton cit, the molecule and licensed it to multinational firm a company, pfizer. and then you k based biotech fi too, from no credit was given to the some people and there was so much interest and hide about this dependence. and the research was in use papers. it was reported globally
5:49 am
that it was decimated by of a change. so people came out and sort of decided they were going to make money off of um, the removal of this plan. the style of this plan, who do you guys have to be protected in south africa? namibia, illegal harvesting is one of the main threats against the plans. it took until the early 2, thousands for the some people to become aware of the csr outpatient. with help from n g o's, the community successfully campaigned for the role of the traditional knowledge to be acknowledged under a benefit sharing agreement, they were to receive milestone of royalty payments. it's not clear how many cases by a piracy there has been the united nations has tried to instigate to solution under its convention on biological diversity. the amos,
5:50 am
the nuclear protocol, is to ship benefits from fire prospecting within touching us communities. there is a growing recognition in general that the whole issue of nature and by diversity is important and it's important because as you worse are more, more interested in a more aware and asking questions. that's rick coach lou ganga, executive director of the union on us co bio trades. it's a membership based organization that helps companies comply with the protocol and towards them with a certification on that product. if they do, most of these regulations are still, you are still in the development. sometimes a clear, still on land. there is a framework one that extends around 200 no school miles from a nation's border into the ocean. beyond does a new frontier for exploration potential exploitation. the high seas offer an abundance of possibilities. maureen organisms can live in extreme
5:51 am
pressure temperatures, darkness, animals like sponges, produce chemicals that have the potential to treat cancer, the global market projective. so marine biotechnology by 2025 is $6400000000.00 with the potential for use in pharmaceuticals, chemical and by fuel industries. nations a currently trying to figure out how to chevy oceans were sources, equitably. countries and the global cells don't want to be left behind bio discovery by a prospecting. however you want to call it to make scientific and technological advancements. well, it's key that we need it. it has very, very significantly contributed to kind of human human well being. if you look at all kinds of medicines, they're based on natural remedies. they're based on bio prospecting. so by prospect
5:52 am
thing is perfect. it is important will remain very important that in the future budget has to be done in a wave of dispatch of the bias of s t rich nations, where the solutions have found. one way is by creating guidelines and what can be patient in house. companies and research institutions should work with indigenous and local researches, developers, and marketing. working together gifts, suppose local communities and companies the like the opportunity to profit. it also ensures the protection of the species providing us with the means to make advancements in technology, health, food security, and beyond. it is possible to use traditional knowledge, ethically we met, then a korea genie flush an entrepreneur whose company makes environmentally friendly clothes while fighting the exportation of women in indonesia, the farm to closet,
5:53 am
a source of the brand has become an inspiration and role model for others. and the tells globally or wherever the price that work for. and that's going to turn away money in villages across in the new job. well, taking care of our farm. my name is danny john and i'm the father of b. o. off for not only do we want to change how close are made, we actually want to change also how it's being grown. everything is really difficult. we use social media and left side in order to reach consumers on the global level. really, it's about clearly and simplifying the process such that people can get for motional attachment as well. so the process behind away from all of these kind of calls away from this dig, fueling that really hurt of environment to actually feeling the part of
5:54 am
my background actually has nothing to do about fashion. i'm on development economist and my work took me through villages across in asia and there for the 1st time i saw how are clothes are made by women. when i was in the villages, i start realizing that there are women who flies are impacted by our everyday choice of what we wear. and i realized that i wanted to then build a bridge between people all around the world to care about these issues with care about where to close, come from with the very women who actually make you the very the plans that are used to make the, the everything we make all the colors is actually made a plan of indigenous indonesia knowledge that has existed through generations. but the flaws in the pursuit of lowering the cost of fashion.
5:55 am
we have to really work very hard, make sure there is enough awareness and therefore demands for all these products basically. and we were actually very happy because we managed to ship our product to now over 30 country and that managed to sustain all the field work that we do on the village level. we're not another crashing brand. we're not another business, but we're a model for change. we're here to show that there is a different way that you as a business can grow. you can be successful, but at the same time also making sure that every choice literally empowers those will. previously they have a choice, the way of managed to in the past 6 years built wonderful. well,
5:56 am
1st farms of plaza fashion supply chain. and our hope is actually to really significantly scale that. so our goal is that within the next 5 years, we want to scale that to $1000.00 hector. that wraps up another episode of made. i'm of the xena. thank you for watching and see you next time. the,
5:57 am
the, the, it might seem easy. how much can we do? single multitasking is more than they do too much of one to risky brain damage. so let's

stop this self sabotage. the 15 minutes on d. w to the point. strong opinions, clear positions. international perspective. ukraine appears to be ready to launch its long awaited counter offense. expectations are high in ukraine and also amongst its allies on the counter offensive need some fund out on to the point to the point on a t w. the secret slide behind these discovered new adventures and 360 degrees
