a nissan bay, a k, a tom lee, the most dangerous time we found way was sort of the as we say, the poster child for the, the proliferation problem. and then it is said no one has ever seen a stone in the side of the super powers. the world's most dangerous wanted dogs june 29 on dw the with ever buying new tech. so. 8 thing out old stuff that just went out and i never thought about it before. waste was a new topic for me. what's going on 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 problems. there are many innovative ways e ways can be reduced and recycled. the . let's take this with us, but still careful with the rail for these 2 machines. it's possible to do your pod 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 and that's where so just for dustin,

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 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 watts of power used. montville 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 the 2nd hand module come on, there is an immediate benefit for the climate of other fortune kima, 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 electricity 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 doesn't look, we'll have solar power when the sun shines unassigned me. 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 comes from for dismantling the panels and taking the modules down total into the modern vic 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 castile 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 it's constructive ation. i 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 the time of visit him, 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 home, but they are under performing the sector. but in the mean, the last one, when the sun is shining, each of these 1st of all take panel should produce 235, lots of electricity off to 10. yes, 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 turn 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 awesome operation 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 v i d is creation is basically workers can safely dismantle hazardous waste an extra shot. and india in delhi, any waste is taken apart in 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 a waste risking their health and the process. and it's sort of of danny, the eco would project once to improve a working conditions. do you have the need to set up the concept together with an indians, with t 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 on. 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 could use as talk, succeeds, endangering not any work so 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 once to

show people, they do have options the team regularly visit districts in daily that are hops at the informal e waste industry. today on iraq group to is a company they 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 muscle from old trunk 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 work of one killer of covers with just 10 euros, dia valley nose to get him into the eco. a cool. she has to convince his boss this is the fine folks of the it's not easy, but this type of solution oriented work and starting a business with a great team is very gratifying and energizing yourself and. and again, most of us the own most people in these back street, so making a living, dismantling and researching electrical parts down, he wants to take the industry out of the confines of city neighborhoods. the man dog

electronic waste contains highly toxic substances, including let cadmium transmitter 3 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 whizzing machine, a camera piece and cctv. the way to go to us on monday is a major play. it 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 illegal conditions. so many

cellphones high up and down. the young man specializes in cell phones. he buys them for about $0.20 each. a camera. this is camera. 13000 to 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 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 an album instead of one young resident, a broken display, no problems. a replacement device is delivered in no time, middle, i'm at no extra cost, per se, a cut all works full come bone cooperative promising, sustainable electronics. their business models 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 to let the joining turn on. talk with the basic idea of cologne is that the devices are rented out. try the vin sold, customers get comprehensive, suppose repairs and replacements. and the longer devices rented for the lower the cost concerns headquarters are just a future. how much is 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 excess. he's. 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 one. when i send the founder, 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 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, this only works with technology that can be easily repaired. today in the us, the amount is missing with computer manufacturer is from switzerland based 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. and 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 tie me while i change the keyboard? hold on. okay, go. on tripping the funds on the left 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 on those levels at the present use the, 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 still works flawlessly. today the instruction manual is available online. let him know. can you encourage our customers to open up their devices themselves? other manufacturers say there's no guarantee, but there is with us. what do we have on the e u commission has introduced right to repair for consumers, the commode, and doesn't want to wait until new legislation is approved. the corporate ship has range about about especially $700.00 devices, so fund and 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, even though it 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. yes. so we don't want to perceive growth that full bonds. doesn't result in yet. most e waste money. i'm sure for them with this contact info at 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 to euro's newest of them. so i can open this up and then what this is our sun light 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 the 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 them. 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 models 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 parks where it 80 percent of the modules are john, i'm a bit 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 platforms. 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 at the amazing, including us on monday, the just to turn the mission. so this area here that would be all work eunice, to scrap metal this nancy is 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 confidence williams to big players like as well, malik, could potentially join forces with smaller businesses lending unit. me 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 how 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 negotiating 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 will 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 your authentic that. and you don't vague naho puffing, or maybe a key sacked to a given grubbing 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 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 hit save him of these this mike and access the image remotely from the founder and switch the machines on and off if necessary. machine. i'm all a sudden unknown young men in 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 best mobile 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. the fact that the entire company is now switching to rented devices as things to fit it compet to the computer scientist started out as the mills, i t manage it and then became it sustained dependency management. i 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 loss of the hardware used here could be replaced, but combined has a 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 must, cuz it doesn't make sense to switch to something sustainable. the point you have still works. we tried to use and repaired what we have for as long as possible. and so that the young in a building for an still business is going well in the us a month expects a ton of of more than $1000000.00 euro, especially programs. because his vision is to transform the electronic sector, which is the sort of 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. i don't, can you ranging out sustainable electronics and boosting,

do have been as she sites on c o 2 emissions and avoids a waste thoughts. at some point a solar module will be permanent. see broken, a modern vic who 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, people in concord, young ball, good and young for the might hope will revolutionize the recycling market for certain modules until now. and the poor quality of the menu and close could be recovered from the shredding and sourcing process. then they can 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 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, which is the then a special lamb heats the model to around $200.00 degrees and lou, since the adhesive loss can then be pried off with a shock, missiles batch of their people, the process goes, well, there's nothing left. it's perfect. perfect and clearly separated sense to this process. the fragments can be made into bustles and jobs with conventional threading. the closest subbing pill that it can only be used for insulation. material of the 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 2 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 that's not a silver, isn't it? 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 vitamins and but there are about 14 grams of silver in each model. this means that the 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 oldest half the amount to use by the solar industry

world wide every year. the residual flow with this to the come goes to a specialized popular company and custom to what, what to produce the a so called silicon colors. they look like this and can be used as much a logical silicon silicon is a critical rule material in europe. of 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 fell on again. i'm covering the treasure troves in a 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 who in the part of the ship, this silly metro station could be the well to be completely powered by solar energy, a sustainable and prestigious project in india, we stand on the was that we are the morgan manufacture their panels in india, the

the this is the w news. live cumberland allies of ukraine gathered to kick start the rebuilding of a country jewel in the grips of war. we'll go live to london this hour as a giant international fundraiser begins to meet the costs that the world bank said could be more than $400000000000.00.
