we have the know how, and that's why i think we're still relatively far away from fully exporting oh, potential, from that point. and so it would also shop and lose to columbia low on funds. might be asking if out of what you're now going to replace. flick it by and might be a better best as coach if the pressure continues to build slick. may risk being shown the door joe, up to date so front golf will have more world news at the top of the our close of pres, next looking, got to be cycling electronic. mike's a good. the ukraine was like a stepping points, you know, 5 or 2 in so that warranty wants to finish your studies. now you have a certificate from your crane. you can just go back or somewhere else. currently, more people than ever on the move. in such a passion life, at least something that is coming very very soon. and yeah,

can we learn more about or know when a story info, migraines with ever buying new tech and spreading out old stuff that way. and i never thought about it before. the waste was a new topic for me, but um, throughout treasure is to be found. if you know where to look tough, those usually these modules would all be discarded, but ideally we can salvage 70 percent, but we'll see that got the vote. materials can be recovered from the waste without releasing toxic fumes in the process of this self. so many people aren't aware of the risk problems. there are many innovative ways e ways can be reduced and recycled the

are done. let's take this with us and it still careful with the rail for these 2 machines. it's possible to do your pods for the energy transition in the comfort of your own home in on the renewable pups on so being installed on private balconies. they constructed as of use solar models is production. it's great that we have modules that can be given a 2nd lease on life it's. i'm very pleased about that for me because i'm not sure if any native landed in the shredder. otherwise, the engineer monitoring vivica, used to research the efficiency of gas fired power plants. he's now switched his focus to so the pallet specific a to recycling old. first of all, take panels with the types of flooding. customers are very satisfied, they're eager to produce their own solar power restaurants,

new modules probably costs around 200 euros hours or less than a 3rd of that $6070.00 euros, and they fixed it to all my team very confines by is 3. there's only so not association, which helps people assemble balcony power plants and connect them to the grid generation up to $600.00 watts of power. used model isn't even more sustainable solution. i know model for the normal photo voltaic module has to be in action for 2 years to produce the electricity that was used for its own production of off the top one i'm. but with the 2nd hand module come, i as there is an immediate benefit for the climate of other fortune kima, difficult to infinity of how sensitive this surface step on close to a 100 has go to use models. he's learning how to install and my name is ali relating the vehicle. you'll have to think about how will produce electricity in the future. a balcony power plant is the simplest way to do that because it's about a 100 a month. to modules with 600 watts of power provide enough in the tricity to run

the washing machine and the refrigerator. a saving of more than $100.00 euros per year. doesn't close to 100 lives close by with the help of his wife, it takes him just a few hours to install the system on his balcony, the toner that will have solar power when the sun shines unassigned. so when exactly do they use, the modules come from, was there some careful we need to get out of the way? um, we have on here got some for dismantling the panels and taking the modules down a little into the mountains. it is now in month to book $40000.00 solar models have been producing sort of power here for more than 10 years. some of them are being dismantled

because the site needs to be renovated at the waste management company. he worked for the castille mountains of solar panels and up into shred to even ones that were still functional. his plan to reuse them opened up a new line of business. they don't do that. so i was gonna go to visually simple. um, only thing that we want to avoid unnecessary us on his and 5100 years time. i want my children and grandchildren to still have a planet worth living on the time of visit. i'm going to go to the solar panels had been under performing, which is why the operating company hired mountain view can perfect it doesn't even do a little bit in via it's kind of the modules don't have any obvious cracks or dfcs, but they are under performing the sector, but in the last one, when the sun is shining, each of these 1st of all take panel ship produced $235.00,

lots of electricity up to 10 years. the outputs might be slightly reduced. for a solar panel talk here to maximum profit, that's a problem and then the output dropped by 4 or 5 percent. they'd still be perfect as a balcony. power plant will fit it's a business model with great potential. gemini, is facing a search of use turned the models that's probably due to the renewable energy sources act from 2000, which guaranteed fixed prices for solar power for 20 years. many sort of possible good option. but for ration when exposed to the much lower market. expos predicts by 2030, they will be 1000000 tons of use models in germany alone. enough to cover an area launch with an $11000.00 soccer fields. every salvage solar panel means 20 kilo's less electronic waste. is this one?

be waste will also be recycled in this warehouse in india. first, entrepreneur, d, a valley is creating a space wave workers can safely dismantle hazardous waste, an extra shopped, mute, and india in deli, a waste is taking a part in neighborhoods where children are playing, where food is being comforted. call 5th valley wants to help put an end to that. tens of thousands of people in india make their living of a waste risking that helps in the process. and this sort of, of danny, the eco would project wants to improve a working conditions. do you have the need to send us the concept together with an indian swiss team kid, the building up to 40 workstations which will be available to rent the lease? there's a lot of light,

it's dirty tables. we give them tools. they also have gloves on to it. so the idea is that they have a safe and healthy working environment all by some gave them all by to which they age and she needs recycling e waste. cred. uses toxic fumes, endangering not any work so little. so they families of this stuff, so many people aren't aware of the risk to my most get into the business because it's in the family and it's always been done the same way when that's what the english ones, what eco would ones to show people they do have options the team regularly visit districts and daily that are hops at the informal e waste industry. today on iraq group to is a company daddy. as he's trying to solve the invoice of e waste has been banned in india for many years. yet an estimated $50000.00 tons

are legally imported from western countries every year. according to indian lo defective equipment can only be dismantled by officially licensed companies. but in reality, move in 90 percent of the scrap isn't equally taking a pause in the backyard. now we can't reveal exactly where this man is working, the police could turn up at any time. this is all corporate. this is all the items for on the way to is extracting may so from old trans fullness. he as the equivalent of just one euro per hour. the company works full buys a waste and sells the muscles to recycle is that's where the money is made. but for the worker, one kind of covers with just 10 euros. dia barely knows to get him into the eco a cool. she has to convince his boss the fine folks of the it's not easy. but this type of solution, iran didn't work and starting a business with

a great team is very gratifying and energizing. and, and again, most of us the own most people in these back streets. so making a living, dismantling, and reciting, electrical tons. daddy wants to take the industry out of the confines of city neighborhoods. the electronic waste contains highly toxic substances, including let cadmium fence move to a safe workplace would help protect workers from the health risks of exposure to the substances. i'm dealing with the air conditioner, it's working machine, a camera facing cctv. the way to go to us on monday is a major play in the way set to convincing him to get on board would be

a breakthrough for the eco web team. would it be interesting for you to get uh, workspace there? and we continue was actually in what it said to, to do some business. there are very excited as well. yeah. onto the next a ways to samantha just a few streets away. again, we can't reveal the exact location, like most people in the sector. this man works under the legal conditions. so many cellphones hi, i'm an advisor and i'm the young man specializes in cell phones. he buys them for about 20 cents each year. a camera. this is sandra. 13000 a piece book. you know? that's about 145 euros. the circuit board with chips is the most valuable component

. it's worth $0.75. it contains precious metals, 250 grams of gold can be extracted from one ton of mobile phones compared to any 5 grams of gold from one ton of gold or from a mine. electronic scrap is a precious commodity here, but the despatches are in desperate need of safe working conditions. 6000 kilometers away. ethics are under way to prevent a waste from being produced in the 1st place. but it's up and runs 10 daycare centers in strasburg funds. if a team members cellphone breaks, it's a crisis, but she knows who to call if it does switch. and she says press the at the site, including a colleague, had her phone in the pocket of her honey pests, and accidentally put it in the washing machine. provide them with devices on the 25th i assumed it was a lost cause, but we called the service and in just 24 hours,

my colleague had a phone. again, i'm going to somebody to colleague and albert and telephone young residents a broken display, no problems, a replacement device as to leave it in no time middle. i'm at no extra cost. to see a cut dog works full come bone cooperative, promising, sustainable electronics. their business model focuses on renting, the, the less southern ones, and it's the only business model that makes manufacturers reduce their range and stop issuing new models all the time. then, manufacturers and rental companies have an interest in the device lasting as long as possible as through left body joining. so don't, don't consider the basic idea of cologne is that the devices are rented out rather than sold. customers get comprehensive, suppose repairs and replacements. and the longer devices rented for the lower the

cost concerns headquarters just a few kilometers away. the broken display is replaced immediately so that the cellphone can go back into circulation as soon as possible. nothing is thrown away . here is a device comp, the fixed at least its components can be recycled. the copper ship was founded by the us and mom who's now in his late excess ease. he grew up on the no gun exam and studied physics. he's always been interested in sustainability and was keen to tackle the over production of electronic products check with one another. i see the founder, we try to keep the devices in circulation as long as possible, including the parts to us. ending with all these modules here have been checked and can go to customers when they need something replaced that was on the, the idea is to reuse them as often and for as long as possible. in addition to the fact when it was on pushing the fuel pump was you, and this only works with technology that can be easily repaired. today in the us,

the amount is missing with computer manufacturers from switzerland. they forced along to new notebook to add to combines existing range of products. now this is our current product range, mainly fair phones, for example, the fair phone for and computers from wide open computing. the, the, the common feature of all these devices is durability of it. you'll have unity. as most devices i used for far too short a time, more than 57000000 tons of electronic wave stuff reduced worldwide every year. the equivalent weight of more than 5000 eiffel towers. this could double to 110000000 tons by 2050 is consumer habits don't change. who will tie me while i change the keyboard? hold on. okay, go. entrepreneur. consigned to laugh is proud of how quickly the pods can be removed from the new notebook. the competition would take hours.

while it's out 35 seconds. the battery can be replaced in no time. it's a job that typically has to be done at a repair shop. not almost not even with a computer like the one nicholas has been using for almost 10 years. you yourself can do pretty much everything you need failed to sit on up is want i to professor not completed this is the 1st laptop released by funds from out to them and his business partner and you can log in. yeah. its been regularly upgraded and repaired and still works flawlessly. today i'm instruction. manual is available online. the ink cartridge at custom is to open up the devices themselves. other menu factors say there's no guarantee, but there is with us. what do we have the, unless you the you commission has introduced right to repair for consumers,

the commode and doesn't want to wait until new legislation is approved. the comprehensive has rented out about 5700 devices, so fund sometimes in the us, the model of his equipment himself. today, he's visiting some commode customers across the folder in germany. and manual on that one or we're off to a good start enjoying this in the last 2 years we've seen 60 to 70 percent growth in rentals. not bad at all. we want to keep that up month in yes. so we don't want to perceive growth that full bonds doesn't result in yet more e waste money. i'm sure for them with contracts income and that's of use. so the modules from back to book has arrived and have the living checked on this new test lane, which cost several 100000 heroes. let me do something so i can open this

up and then what this is our sunlight simulator is only someone at all. once the lid is closed, the simulation lights up with 1000 watts. on the computer screen, the team can see how much electricity the solar cells are still producing. as i know 1st impression, there's something wrong with the module and maybe it's damaged. we'll look at the image. c. e o is electro illuminations, special cameras scan the in time or do at the 2nd inspection station and produce a kind of x ray image. this reviews any damage to you, i'm looking for. there's definitely a crack, but it's not bad them. it generates 15 walking less than what the manufacturer says, but you can still use it for a balcony power plant that goes to bundle once the used models have been inspected, they get a sticker and a 2 year warranty. second lot,

so it is 7 employees can check up to 800 miles per day. the success rate is excellent. yeah, impact dozens and there are parks where 80 percent of the modules are. john, come and get up and there are parts where just 2030 percent are defective modules. usually these modules would be disposed of, but we can ideally save 70 percent by running these types of inductive proof of what. what happens to this 30 percent that failed the tests? they contain valuable rule materials that are lost in the shredding process. highest, i'm guessing off salvaging rule materials. that's what the workers will be doing at the eco work size in india. so welcome to a coworker really great. since you are here, the 3 e waste entrepreneurs a at the meeting, including us on monday, the just to,

to envision so this area here that would be all work eunice. describe mental dismantle. this will be provided with a fully equipped co working space with flexibly sized workspaces that can be rented for days, weeks, or even months. they will also be lockable storage areas, as well as break rooms and conference williams to big players like as la malik could potentially join forces with smaller businesses lending unit, we cannot spend, we can bundle their products and send larger volumes directly to processors. and with a larger volume you can usually get a better price. so how invest in price hudson, it's not yet clear what the service will cost. in a 1st step, the valley wants to recruit mostly small, under finance, already paying rent for workshops and based the fees on us based still

a lot of negotiating today and learn for who the hallways nice, loud, but it would be difficult to transport materials. it's a long way. so concepts would be high or low miles long. in the long run, the ideas for eco would to be self supporting. for now, the project is still financed by the swiss national science foundation and donations. a trial run will starts in the summer with an official license, so no one has to worry about police controls. so the best thing is that no one will stop us from working here and we will, i be chased away and threatened by then. and crucially, everything that's recycled here won't end up in unsafe back yard workshops, but with licensed companies that work most safely and efficiently, including in west and countries. and i will talk, keep this unlock in the metal in europe. there are plants that recover metals. and

by circuit boards from all over the world is cow, so circuit boards that are dismantled here at eco work could find their way to your authentic that. and you don't vague now hope of seeing or maybe a key fact to a given growing shortages of rule materials from india to southern germany. come out and found it l e as in law is visiting a mills it's very dusty. so any small phones and computers used him must be extra robust and easily repairable. and the estimate is here with a gentleman colleague. they want to do in corporate clients that use the loss of computer hardware under the chronic devices they broach along and especially robust, smart phone for the boss. hello, mr. mitchell. he's been testing another out for the last 2 weeks.

i kind of hit save him of these this i can access the image remotely from the founder and switch the machines on and off if necessary, machine and also it. and then on the minute dennis blows, it needs the 2nd mobile phone for his colleague on the night shift a combination of dust and humidity means cell phones tend to stop working properly here in the next couple or some button breaks or the screen or the battery of on console, and unfortunately you can't repair it yourself was done and getting it repaired was getting to costly of this way. now we have an alternative that will hopefully last 5 or 10 years of life. the robust mobile phone cost is 21 years 70 cents monthly to rent. and the 1st year in the 2nd dia, the price drops by 10 percent in the 3rd year by another 30 percent to 13 years to

the fact that the entire company is now switching to rented devices is thanks to philip compass, the computer scientist sponsored out as the mills, i t manage it and then became it sustainable as he managed my think the future. but now we tend to think a lot about sustainable food, sustainable agriculture. but it's only in the last couple of years that i began thinking about how to make technology more sustainable. because it has a very large carbon footprint. because we have a lot of the hardware used here could be replaced, but combined has the policy. as long as the equipment isn't broken, the co operative doesn't want to en money by replacing it for the company agrees. because most it doesn't make sense to switch to something sustainable with what you have still works. we tried to use and repaired what we have for as long as possible until the young in a building for and still business is going well. in the us,

a month expects a ton of of moving $1000000.00 euro associate programs because his vision is to transform the electronic sector, which is the sooner faster. if the, if i do nothing, i can't face myself in the mirror in the morning. i must do something that has a positive impact on the world already that one can you ranging out sustainable electronics and boosting disability sites on c o. 2 emissions and the voice, a waste thoughts. at some point a solar maggio will be permanent, see broken. the modern vicar wants to find out how to recover the valuable who materials contained in them and nothing is included for them. if i, youngstown child has developed a process that entrepreneurs fueling fund could young vol, good and young for the might. hopeful revolutionize the recycling market for certain modules until now. only poor quality of the menu and close could be

recovered from the shredding and sourcing process. the biggest spot, i'm very curious about this technology, what have you. it's about extracting silicon and silver about separating these raw materials. and that's very important to me because i'm supposed to go to this machine, solve the 1st problem, the young entrepreneurs faced most of the models have a gloss layer on top that's family attached to the solar cells. underneath the 1st young vol. good breaks off the bloss pain with which has been a special lamb heats the model to around $200.00 degrees and listens. the adhesive with loss can then be pried off with a shock. may so scratch their people, the process goes well, there's nothing left. it's perfect, perfect, and often you're clearly separated. thanks to this process,

the fragments can be made into bustles and tom with conventional fretting the closest 7 pill that it can only be used for insulation material. or i'm on the best of the 6 film that remains is especially valuable. the print of conduct is a made of pure silver underneath of the solar cells made of silicon, the inventor has a very proud of this 2nd machine. first of all, what does this machine do? you know, as of us, can, i can't tell you exactly. that's our trade secret. i can't tell you this much. there's a rotating tool that scrapes off the layers of cuts. it's a noisy process. the to says scratched away and now your plastic and tiny fragments and then grinds off the silver tracks. what's left is a blistering dust. this is it, that's not me. if you are a silver or is it new? you know, no,

you're right. it's silver dice. about there's about 3 percent silver in it, but that's enough for the refinery to purify it into pure silver findings that are but there are about 14 grams of silver in each model. this means that 700 tons of silver could be recovered from the 1000000 tons of old modules that are expected to a mass in germany alone by 2030, almost half the amount used by the solar industry worldwide. every year. the residuals for with acidic him goes to a specialized popular company and custom, what to produce the a so called silicon tell us they look like this and can be used as much a logical silicon silicon is a critical role material in europe to the world market for silicon is dominated by china, the 3 entrepreneurs, one to build a fully automated pilot plant in the next few months. that can recycle up to $150000.00 modules per yeah, the,

that it's very exciting. i think one steps missing until it's ready for series productions, then it's a great solution to recover raw materials that have so far been lost. seattle fell on again. i'm covering the treasure troves, and e waste reduces dependency on role material. impulse asked us repairing devices instead of throwing them away and even better in the long run. fuel rule materials will be needed in the 1st place. the i have to say matters to us, the ex wife, to their stories. the reporter. every weekend on d. w. images so many pushed us turn out in the time of change

the story. this is much less the way from just one week. how much was going to really get we still have time to act. i'm going to access the raj bodies waiting for customers at the old site. she has a young baby to feed at home and a family to support so far noon.
