there's a slight castiano ronaldo. that's all for now. up next this planet a looking at how india wants to fix a waste of the hill. jody. thanks for watching. good. by the interest of what did you do before i played tennis? survived the ocean bits. thanks to music. he was the nazi's favorite conductor positions under the swastika, a documentary about the sounds of power and inspiring story about survival. music in nazi germany, watching out one youtube dw documentary. i'm going to place the big tech companies will draw the didn't exist. it's a sunday evening and this market in north debbie is not

still 1390000000 mobile phones, the sol globally at all 5000000000 mobiles estimated to be thrown away. but right here could be a solution for much of this waste. i'm in the north indian market and there's really nothing you can get to basically like this idea of what people are using, whatever they have it on them to fix what's broken. because changes in the way products are made is changing this market and others like it, without even full of the 5 or 6 of us, m o u m o u, that one over here is also due to the big one. and because people are choosing to buy new rather than repair e waste, and they'll mix up the majority of our overall toxic waste and it's happening all over the world. so many people are now working to bring this route, ban mindset back in the retain this ingenuity and the culture of 6 thing was

thrilled, but also keeping isn't going to me. so i'm here, i'm getting back to figure out how all of this is going to fails. i've done my phone for 4 and a half years now, which is a relatively, very long time to on a smartphone. i'm going to challenge with my so i'll just see how much longer i can make it last. but i've also been very careless, uncompleted, rewarding my display as i looked it up and it costs 30000, refuse to buy a new phone on the same models. so anyhow, to see what those, what getting into bed instead of a lot of i'm just not sure whether it's worth being a ton of them getting a new phone with a new buy cheap and the, the, the showroom quoted. $16000.00 repeats, which is more than half the price of the phone. so i'm not going to, i'm going to get a few more quotes from a different place. this is an informant and semi form, an electronic deposit. this is a grey area. some vendors maybe authorize the,

those are, those may not be registered. not all of them pay taxes. yeah. because they told me they can offer the cheapest services by cutting deals over or under the table. i'll find some look around or the other models that 7000 already a copy of my zip code, we think what you've got in to get that up in may i get quite interesting that everybody has quoted me a different single, which means that of course doesn't stand out and you have to have it and you have to find the best price, which does take a lot of time. to think about. india has a long history of repairing, over replacing most read, gone those ones, how to call the other cielo, who fix solid ease of state and families for many generations. but it gets more nice. this tradesman specializes in only fixing the economic mazda 9090 the 2000,

and change this color completely with more money in that pocket. some things getting cheaper people started buying mall and something else happened. india went outside digits of every kind of payment is now done. online from rick shows to coconut, brought to having a phone is now basically mandatory phones and in the us for cheap and accessible that i'm more people with phones, then beds all mattresses or chairs electronic devices to became an outlier to the old in japan culture media because electronics companies don't allow for repair. gadgets have been accused of being designed for the dump. it's called planned obsolescence companies have been taken to quote over it's, for example, this here. apple is prepaying to be up to $500000000.00 in the us and settlements in a case like using them of slowing down old iphones. the italian government find samsung, 5000000 euros in a similar case, but found that updates slowed down devices. as

a result of all this, e waste has drawn phenomenally in india and many countries with that similar and saw some best stories of development and actually lives very little of this waste is formerly recycled. this is where electronics come in. this is the biggest electronics waste market in the country truck loads of discarded electronics come here every day. and i'll jump on to local traders. these people separate them and sell parts on the recyclers or other kinds of strap dealers. there's literally e waste everywhere. look at that here . so they do is break down the tech to recover anything of value the results of this kind of informal dumping. i mean of the as by what's meant to be a storm drain. but there's no space for water to flow. we

saw a lot of people including and especially children, collecting anything of value and this scavenging comes at a high price, the lives gagne and mobility of an e. we as has been known to cause skin conditions and the 1st instance. but it's also been linked to problems with the liver and development of the brain, including a newborns it was very hard to film here and nobody really wanted to talk to me on camera. i met studies and have a research of, of chemical pollution to ask what needs to happen to stop this to both on the production site, autumn consumption site. it will have to make a lot of adjustments on the production site that can see that how do you design products that us suppose they're going to design the product, which is mardell, letting nature. but that's what a be a we'll just, we'll just finding a product because you cannot take you to the next level. the 2nd thing is about

loading consumption is also because if we design products. but if it last with me for a long time, i am not likely to desponding, so my risk generation becomes reduces. tow thing is about we need to formalize or pass. we need to formalize refurbishments and by law also them for me. that is only that. how do we encourage this? i think back we have not been able to get to this 3rd thing is something the government is starting to work on. it launched a $14.20 to ensure that citizens have the right to repair around 50 companies of signing up sofa on people. these include manufacturers of farm equipment, consumers, rubles, and also one bios as well as electronics. i meant the man in charge royd commerce thing, the highest chunky administrative office, the ministry of consumer affairs who went over the main points in case the product required. zip is a routine maintenance. it shouldn't be and says it should be easily accessible and

it should be noted li, available in the equal system of the consumer. so we put all that together and we are doing that i to repair a framework. most specifically, this would include access to information on how to repair, providing cheap and original step ups to consume of i'm fluid bodies and it also includes more specific codes, action, like that. all charges must be u. s. b c. by june 2025. you don't want to become an impediment in the ease of doing business also. you know, it's a, it's a very tricky thing. so on the one hand, you want more business name. yeah. you want economy to grow, you want more to die. so you want to make things simple and streamlined, but you also have to protect the consumer, protect the planet, and these things can be competing. right now there's one main problem. this framework is bought entry. it hasn't been able to past as

a bill environment. and that this is going to be a long process. this is on with donia or profess of law at alliance university in manuel, who has looked into with india's ad with the right to repair. but it's possible to the bottom and also one buffet, right? you're supposed to go as possible because remember that we are talking about also the interest of bob and um, let's say produce a groups that are quite powerful in the india they was the case, it was decided to um, in the mean to 2010 the government case, in this case, a lawyer name should cut the 14 car manufacturers to quote, which are only allowed for repairs and exclusive repair shops. he argue that these manufactures monopolize the spare parts market and will be using this dominance sometimes mocking up the price of spare pods. 5000 percent. the manufacturer was flooded back and the arguments was that what would be no. slicks a give such an tunes because you mostly for allow me more people to repair those

costs, or those consumer goods we go to, it's going to infringe on intellectual property rights. in that case, the court decided against them mandating that they allow consumers to go wherever they choose, based on what they can access and afford the problem that if you have, if you have more kids with intellectual property, i noticed, but do you mean discounts investments into that industry, for example, the funds that produce those electronic goods. maybe this, this may have reduced incentives to enter the market. let me after getting these the market because it will say well, but then when we are using, based on just the university goes out in different budget, right? does not predicted because of the right to there has already been pushed back even against a simple us b c, charging road. i believe india has asked for an exemption or a d leasing or otherwise struggled to meet production targets. but there are

economic arguments for repairs at the moment, most of the material that goes into making electronics remains on, accounted for these include important resources like lithium, which we will need a lot more off in the future. so these are of huge national value. many countries i'm pushing ahead on this in early 2024. the european parliament took the leap forward and voted strongly in favor of strengthening the right to repair. in all 27 countries of the summer, even hanging on her bed vouchers paid for by national drawback. funds from so set up what might become a norm across many products, a repair ability index, much like the one that shows you the energy efficiency of say, a refrigerator to give the consumer more agency. the u. s. has not fall behind them . such decisions would have impacts some countries like india and beyond the some of the products, standard global supply chains. so they manufacturer for was so the word has to be

done. the same page is a difficult task to, to. but then we also engage with you and they are doing from a specific date, they're making expenditures. so reset, okay. uh you plus 6 months is estimated to be a $20000000000.00 domestic market for repair and a $5000000.00 domestic market for refurbishment in india. so start to upset, jumping in by setting up repair and refurbishment units cdp. i am buying the and gadget wouldn't noise the examples bought with huge foreign investments, the vin, the vin proposition for the consumer, for the guy who's looking as and get some employment. and the company expensive and it was because we want to get some benefits because it's cheaper and accessible. and the guy that's being able to make a living. but this all still exists and pockets in very early stages. the big challenges, the hundreds of thousands of people whose livelihood depends on for fact, formalizing such a mass of informal economy developing skills, registering,

and ensuring the paid tax is not going to be an easy task. even if the government says the intention is that it's also going to be a challenge to keep account of all these resources. but that is the whole thing. i've decided not to change the display of my phone because it's about a 3rd of the costs of buying the new phone itself, which is just too expensive, especially considering. i don't have a guarantee that the new display will last for long enough time to make the investment worth it. so i think i'm just going to wait for my phone to dies and buy a new one. but if and when that i to the bed does come into play, my decision might be quite different. developing countries like india have a unique opportunity to still tap into that culture of renewals and repair and retain them for most sustainable and equitable future. the lights it up as a good discussion around the was that is likely to have huge implications. that's really all take on it. and you also get to come back more videos like this. every friday. the
