hi to the wrong, the 77 percent. talk about the issues that pops up to you. this is where the 7 percent 60 would or sports scoring. we say they were about never giving up sports flies every weekend on dw the with ever buying new tech. 8 thing out old stuff that just went out and i never thought about it before. he 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 e waste without releasing toxic fumes in the process of the self. so many people aren't aware of the risk of the problem. 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 the team. and it's possible to do your pod for the energy transition in the comfort of your own home, the and the renewable pups on so being installed on private balconies. they constructed as of use solar models

. if it doesn't look like 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 data have landed in the shredder. otherwise, the engineer monitoring zuka, used to research the efficiency of gas fired power plants. he's now switched his focus to solar power specific a to recycling old. first of all, take panels, but in customers are very satisfied. they're eager to produce their own solar power . once new modules probably costs around 200 euros hours or less than a 3rd of that, $6070.00 euro, since they fixed it to all martine, via cosigns bias 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. a used model is an 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 all the top one i'm. but with a 2nd hand module come on, there is an immediate benefit for the climate or by default in cream of on difficult to infinity of how sensitive this surface, stefan close your hon has go to use models. he's learning how to install them by the leading the way 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 $600.00 watts of power provide enough and tricity to run the washing machine and the refrigerator, a saving of more than $100.00 euros per year. close to a 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 the used models come from? was there some careful we need to get out of the way? um, you have on here got some for dismantling the panels and taking the modules down total into the modern vic is now in month to book $40000.00. so the 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 console mountains of solar panels and up in the shredder. even ones that was still functional his plan to reuse them opened up a new line of business. so i was gonna go to basically simple um, only thing that we want to avoid unnecessary us on his own 5100 years time. i want

my children and grandchildren to still have a planet worth living on a time of visit him, going to go to the solar panels had been under performing, which is why the operating company hired mountain view to fix it doesn't even do a little bit in via it's kind of the modules don't have any obvious cracks or dfcs one home, but they are under performing the sector. but in the last one, when the sun is shining, each of these 1st of all, take panels should produce 235, 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. 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 kilos 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 with workers can safely dismantle hazardous waste and extra shops of you and india. in delhi, any waste is taken apart and neighborhoods where children are playing,

where food is being cognitive call. 5th valley wants to help put an end to that tens of thousands of people in india and make their living of the waste risking their health and the process. and it's sort of of danny, the eco work project wants to improve a working conditions via the i need to bennett the concept together was an indian swiss cheese kid, the building up to 40 work stations which will be available to rent a sub fee lease. there's a lot of light, it's dirty tables, we give them tools, they also have gloves onto it. so the idea is that they have a safe and healthy working environment. all right. some gave them all by to which they age and she needs recycling e waste could use as toxic fumes endangering not any work as little so they families 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 this what the english ones will get lost. because we're going 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 the up and he says 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, more than 90 percent of the scrap is indeed only taking a pause in the back yard. now we can't reveal exactly where this man is working, the police could turn up at any time. this is all foreclosure. this is all done for

on the way to is extracting may so from old trans fullness. he has 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 killer of covers with just 10 euros deer valley nose to get him into the eco. a cool. she has to convince his boss me fine fuck of a be it's not easy. but this type of solution oriented 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 and making a living, dismantling, and recycling electrical parts. 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 3 a safe live place 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 piece and cctv. the way to go to us on monday is a major play it in the way sect 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 work there to them, but 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 illegal conditions. so many

cellphones high up and down. the young man specializes in cell phones. he buys them for about 20 cents each year. a camera. this camera, 13000 do facebook, 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 only 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. efforts are underway to prevent a waste from being produced in the 1st place. but it's outbound runs 10 daycare centers in strasburg funds. if a team members cell phone breaks, it's a crisis, but she knows who to call if it does, which if she says, press the up to sign the clinic and a colleague had her phone in the pocket of her honey pests and accidentally put it in the washing machine and provide them with devices on the 20th, 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 over the telephone, young residents a broken display, no problems, a replacement device as delivered in no time at all. i'm at no extra cost, per se, cadon 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 love. i enjoyed it. so don't talk with the basic idea of cologne is that the devices are rented out rather than sold customers get comprehensive supports repairs and replacements. and the longer devices rented for the lower the cost cologne's headquarters just a few kilometers the way the broken display is replaced immediately so that the cell phone 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 seventies. he grew up on the no garrick farm

and studied physics. he's always been interested in sustainability and was keen to tackle the over production of electronic products check with one that i seem to find that we try to keep the devices in circulation as long as possible, including the parts to us. and then with all these modules here, have been checked and can go to customers when they need something, replace f as onto the idea is to reuse them as often and for as long as possible. and visitor for the fact when it was on percent publishing. 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've bullshit long in new notebook to add to come moans, 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 way stuff reduced worldwide every year. the equivalent weight of more than 5000 eiffel towers. this could double to 110000000 tons by 2050 is consumed. the habits don't change. who will die me while i change the keyboard? hold on. okay, go, entrepreneur. fun. so i'm not to laugh is proud of how quickly the pods can be removed from the new notebook. the competition would take out while it's out 35 seconds. the battery can be replaced in no time. it's a job that typically it has to be done at a repair shop, not on those levels. so it depends on who's the trend is to use adhesives and devices. you want to say we're trying to slow down this trend and convince people

that today in 2023 and my even with a computer like the one nikolai has been using for almost 10 years. you yourself can do pretty much everything you need failed to sit on up as 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 to works flawlessly. today instruction manual is available online. no one can you encourage our customers to open up their devices themselves? the manufacturer say there's no guarantee, but there is with us. why do we have the should be you commission has introduced right to repair for consumers, but come out and doesn't want to wait until new legislation is approved. the comprehensive has range about about $3700.00 devices. so fund sometimes in the us, the model of his equipment himself. today he's visiting some to moon customers

across the folder in germany. and manual on the with we're off to a good start enjoying this. in the last 2 years, we've seen 60 to 70 percent growth and rentals not bad at all. we want to keep that up, nothing else. 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 this contact info at that's of use. so the modules from mac, the book has arrived and have the living checked on this new test lane, which cost several 100000 to years. here's 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. e l is electra luminescence special cameras scan the entire mode. you at the 2nd inspection station and produce a kind of x ray image. this reveals any damage you i'm looking for. there's definitely a crack, but it's not bad and it generates 15 walking less than what the manufacturer says, but you can still use it for a balcony power plant that goes once the used modules have been inspected, they get a sticker and a 2 year warranty. second large, so it is 7 employees can check up to 800 miles per day. the success rate is excellent. yeah, impact dozens. and there are parts where 80 percent of the modules are john coming 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 industry portfolio. but what happens to this 30 percent that failed the tests they contain valuable rule materials that are lost and the shredding process. highest, i'm guessing off salvaging rule materials. that's what workers will be doing at the eco work size in india. so welcome to a coworker really great as you are here, the 3 e waste entrepreneurs a at the amazing, including us, la, monday, the just to, to envision so this area here that would be all work eunice. describe mental dispatch. this will be provided with a fully equipped co working space with flexibly sized workspace is 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. a big players like as lama league could potentially join forces with smaller businesses. lending unit kind of spins and 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 invest in price hudson, it's not yet clear what the service will cost. and it 1st step, dia valley wants to recruit mostly small entrepreneurs, already paying rent for workshops, and based the fees on us. there's still a lot of negotiation to do to learn for who the hallways nice, loud, but it would be difficult to transport materials. it's a long way. so contracts 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 stuff in the summit 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. we will, i be chased away and threatened by then. and crucially, everything that's recycled here won't end up in unsafe backyard workshops, but with licensed companies that work most safely and efficiently, including in west and countries. and i hope i keep this unlocked in the metal in europe. there are plants that recover metals and by circuit boards from all over the world cow. so the circuit boards that are dismantled here at eco work could find their way to europe in the next about, and even vague. now hope puffing up here, maybe a key sacked to a given growing shortages of rule materials

from india to southern germany. come out and found it in the us amount 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 and lots of computer hardware under the toner devices. they froze along an especially robust, smart phone for the boss. hello, mr. mitchell. he's been testing another out for the last 2 weeks. and i kind of get saving of these, this mike and access the image remotely from the founder and switch the machines on and off if necessary, machine and also unknown young men and dentists blows its 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. the next couple or some button breaks or the screen or the battery of one console, and unfortunately you can't repair it yourself was done and getting it repaired was getting too costly of this way. now we have an alternative that will hopefully last 5 or 10 years of the life. the robust snowball phone cost is 21 years 70 cents monthly to rent. and the 1st year in the 2nd year, 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 started out as the mills, i team manager, and then became it sustained dependency management. i think the future,

but now we tend to think a lot about sustainable food, sustainable agriculture testing. 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 loss of the hardware used here could be replaced, but combined has the policy, as long as the equipment isn't broken, the cooperative doesn't want to en money by replacing it for the company agrees. because most of it doesn't make sense to switch to something sustainable. the point you have still works. we try to use and repair what we have for as long as possible until the young in a building for its still business is going well. in the us, a month expects a ton of of more than $1000000.00 euro, especially because his vision is to transform the electronic sector, which is the soonest i asked about who i mean 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, deal with energy sites on c o 2 emissions and avoid e waste fuss. at some point a solar maggio will be permanent, see broken. a modern vehicle 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, but entrepreneurs thebuilding fund could young vol, good and young for the might hope will 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. been like a 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. you're going to go to this machine, solve the 1st problem, the young entrepreneurs phased 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, which is then a special lamp, heats the model to around $200.00 degrees and least since the adhesive cloth can then be pried off with a shock may so scratching their people, the process goes well, there's nothing left. it's perfect. perfect. and often you're clearly separated sense to this process. the fragments can be made into bustles and johns with conventional threading, the closest subbing pill that it can only be used for insulation material. so i'm on best on the 6 film that remains is especially valuable. the printed

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. what does this machine do? you know is the best i can tell you exactly. that's our trade secret. i can 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 glittering test. this is a that's not if you're a silver or is it new? no, 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 phantoms are the 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 and germany is owned by 20, ceci oldest half the amount used by the satellite industry world wide every year. the residual flow. but the silicon goes to a specialized popular company and custom, what produce the a so called silicon tell us they look like this and can be used as much a logical silicon to them. silicon is a critical role material in europe in the world market for silicon is dominated by china, the 3 entrepreneurs, one to build a fully automated pine of plants in the next few months that can recycle up to $150000.00 modules per yeah, the it's very exciting, i think one steps missing until it's ready for series production. then it's a great solution to recover raw materials that have so far been lost. seattle found on game covering the treasure troves, and e waste reduces dependency on rule 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 speed you know that 77 percent elastic side are younger than 35. that's me and me and you and you know what? it's time all voices. what high on the 77 percent. talk about the issues that pops up to you. this is where the 7 percent in 30 minutes on the ceiling is considered the most dangerous neighborhood in columbia and during stigma for its residence. but the local artist wants to change that by harnessing their creativity to combat

violence, crime and drug trafficking. a look at a slum aiming to dispel tom and cliches. global us 90 minutes on d. w. these places in europe are smash the record. step into a little bit venture pizza, the treasure map for modern globetrotters. discover some of us record great, a 0. 2 and now also in book form the this is dw news and these are our top stories. rescuers are racing to find them missing submersible with 5 people on board and the north atlantic. the u. s. coast guard says the passengers have less than 2 days.
