the sun storming business is onset. real new deal and lots, just green washing. what's now on the sorry, one second. let me just finish this. hello and welcome. i'm sorry about the body. i'm. you're watching recording this. most of us do what i just did with that. we simply throw things away when we're done using b as a comp and or short on or use factory. but we can do a lot better. that's find out how upside thing is
10:31 am
a cool concept. like when we think of slices clothing, we don't really single, anything too fancy. so today let's meet the woman who's done this motion on his head. she is a fashion designer who's making waste where it was and turned in a wide web of that creed generates more than 92000000 tons of fixed. i waste each year. ideas like this could really make a difference. my name's sky, summer, tiny cod and um okay. i'm just gonna start again. my name's kind of special on yukon and i'm from india. i'm to found the kasha, we work and operate in index guys and handle, and we do a lot of upside the . what's the word by someone in lifetime you to get an intelligent good find it was
10:32 am
that he philosophy at oxford and something things were doing life while starting fashion and just doesn't know what to do. the best option for me is with the phone and just the thought that we landed on wait a box of all the way with as a country, as well as the wood. i'm very mangled. i would be like if i said, i only reason, one of the bigger section is i know i wanted to be so needed. some things i wanted to be like an aerospace, a bite, and i just, i wanted to be on the internet in all sorts of things. but somewhere along the way, i had a book which my father said has the same life and drop it off on the movies. and i was i, descriptions of what they was. i'm documents to my father that i want to be a fashion designer or sorry, the fashion the okay, was subbing there. like they would all pay more recycling of psyching sustainability. so i don't know, i bought this so interesting, but then when i, what about uh oh my god. you know what is upside doing?
10:33 am
what is it a site like at home? when i know when i went to anything, i can get a bunch of papers together and we can just create this new because it found out why and not being wasted. why it's been difficult to me. why not doing things into the garbage? can the, i think the hardest part of starting the is the, is just starting. i like being like, i'm going to just do this. i saw this on like my dad's, but again then i move to my mom's office 15 to saying they need to go with larger 5 decision to for the white house. and we have been under space. and we had other issues likely be the only thing council. how would resource everything, how is coming here, all the hiring people, like, how do you find the right person to get on board the
10:34 am
if as long as you may want a definite, the fashion, a 1000000 fashion makes complete sense. i mean, even assumes that when was open, it would be somewhere. so from that point of view into, i mean, in fashion is most vaudeville. if it will go down, you will still be a little nick session on the producers of fashion. i mean, so to sometimes take them to school and believe you, thanks a lot of time, especially when like a 20 to 22. the only person just got out of college. let's do this on. definitely people who could, you know, we ran the show here or just like positive princess. so inside the i actually got paintings. i mean, i with us to that now. i mean is it even if it was because i don't even work so
10:35 am
high. so for me, that was one time another let that actually when i, once i would tell you people that would expect different things from the i think the county, anglo saves of gosh, i was just about making something that's not going to hurt anyone. we don't say it was the state of their lives unless what we're doing is we're saying that let's just go, let's lots to say, let's not exploit and let's make products that are good for now. let's think products that are also making it always good altering plays. i listen for the last for a long time. the when i say they put it on me thinking and talking about the children's education like that to me is a very hard for me all when i see them talking, wonder why is no going to walk like that and makes it?
10:36 am
and i said we're doing something correct, wendy. like i said, all these things are so important inclusion the i think that if we just stop the motion, if he's up to date, is it at all? no, i need didn't just was was because they were times i got this thing that it is a big. i feel like that needs to change quite like, i mean the evenings maybe such a why brands like gosh, changing things up in a great way. it will take a lot more than the us of small labels to address the problem will 6 sideways. only one percent of the proteins yoga 6 sided waste is actually you cycle. and this is a huge problem for using this. but that, or is that is unusual that will sooner or later actually just on the fashion industry, roughly 10 percent of
10:37 am
a global carbon emissions stand from the text on industry. it's also incredibly resource intensive. guzzling up some 90000000000 cubic meters of water on the lake . that's 4 percent of global fresh water usage, unload the water, goes into producing okay. it's almost always these ready to go through heavy, heavy, the chemical processes to make them the way they are today. whether it's finishing, whether it's dying, brianca, qana collaborates with brands and produces to foster sustainable innovation and fashion, which is why it is mostly not even the nation, but does andre di biodegradable. and it takes sometimes over 200 years for these materials to buy it as a degrade in the industrial. and that's a big problem because we produce a lot of text all waste. in the us text i'll waste has grown 80 percent since the year 2000. rachel keeps even secular services. great,
10:38 am
which supports industry and government and reaching sustainability goals. it is our fastest growing waste stream. we send over 30000000000 pounds of tech styles to landfill. every year in the us alone, most of our old clothes and in landfill. what does induce, frequently bend on soul stone, can donated old closing a frequently shipped to the global south for re style such as here in a crowd counter with 40 percent of what arrives is actually considered charge the us. and so the 600000000 key, those have used clothing abroad every year, largely to the rest of the americans. while you're a big sports, i have a one and a half 1000000000 kilos. much of it to african. often it is dumped, bend overloads oceans and waterways. textile waste isn't just old, well warm toes. it also includes excess stock and the scraps generated during production. less than one percent of this video, there's the spike going today,
10:39 am
which means all of this is going somewhere. when we collect close, they're primarily going to be sorted for reuse. that's the highest value. so some of those close may be down cycled into insulation. some may be sold as wiper rags and then a small portion and can be mechanically recycled. but mechanical recycling has its limitations. in 2020 full mechanical recycling is the best option. we have close of chops up and spun into new 5 bits. it's way back to the landfills, but it also involves a drop in quantity. and it's read that such materials can be recycled again, but, but could soon change. there are a bunch of exciting new recycling companies, boasting new technology, and hoping to tailor the feature for tech style waste. firstly, those chemical recycling tech styles of broken down to the molecular level. and then we built into various materials. while some companies only recycle caution
10:40 am
australia is blocked. techs can recycle blended material, chemically separating synthetic polyester from natural costs. and 5 is polyester is converted into pellets which can be used for textiles, orders to wheels and construction. while cotton, cellulose is turned into clay that us uses in textiles, agriculture and even packaging. the flexibility is intentional. i would never want to be beholden to my outtakes just to one brand, because i know how badly those those brands can behave. adrian jones, co founded blog techs in 2018 we prefer blocked techs to have that takes, that can be useful to many rather than just be useful to want. i think that's been a real difference for us in the industry. everybody's is preoccupied with making more. textiles look takes recently announced it with expands capacity to $10000.00
10:41 am
tons a year. refresh, global invalid also emphasizes flexibility to bacteria breakdown on sanitize textile waste. creating 3 role materials. nano settlers eval on sanitized tex phone . pope 3 refresh cables. potent is these materials i used to make anything ranging from furniture, to bike frames, to f, an old based cosmetics refresh. global is a relatively new company plans to develop a network at smaller facilities that can be developed quickly and flexibly with partners. that's quite different to sweden's renew, so one of the world's biggest chemical textile recyclers. it was among the fist to build an industrial scale tech style recycling facility. the cotton tech styles shredded into a slurry, separated from contaminants and dried into sheets of what they call secular secular
10:42 am
settlers, which can replace the g materials like cotton oil would in the production of new high quality textiles. going down to the molecular level helps maintain quality. i'm a new cell says it's stuck. you. those can be recycled. 7 times. there are limits. the new cell can know you. recycle waste is 90. 5 percent of costs are no purist, meaning a lot of what goes to alonzo is eligible for new spells recycling pump opened in 2022 with capacity to recycle $60000.00 tons annually written to expands to 820000. but in february 2020 full came the shock. the company filed for bankruptcy just days before and renew sell told the w. they were recycling fall below capacity . and fashion brands were hesitant to commit to recycle materials. we could be producing a lot more. trisha carries the chief commercial officer, knew so many of the brands have goals,
10:43 am
search for circularity or reduction traceability waterfalls. uh, you know, variety. so it's, we are a solution to their goals. it's how quickly do they want to be able to achieve those? renew, sell partnered with levi's to recycle production waste and include secretaries and their products h and then became a shareholder in 2017. but still the plant didn't make a profit in its 1st year. it has been something that has shoak. most of us work in us has been a relative fix dies theresa dominic reset to sustainability management at and t c l universities, existing business models in a way to most fashion brands are master. they don't really have 40 initiatives night renews felt a really um while do to really be able to to make a while recycling cuts reliance on board the hungry cotton on boil based synthetics
10:44 am
. it's more expensive. it would take some 7000000000 year rates to scale up recycling to hit 20 percent of textile wasted. your by 2013. there isn't enough push from the legislation side to force the investor to, to actually adopt these. my data is so not the so you should, it was forcing, but if it's going to be more expensive material, if it's the transition with the houses of the supplies, the thing is naisha. with all the brands they decided across the board. it really does is a function of information, so have them having access to everything which is not easily done until legislation usually takes it on the u. s. monday is that by 2025 member countries begin collecting checks don't waste separately, just like they do with paper, plastic gonzales, which should improve on the $0.22. waste is currently separated during proposed
10:45 am
legislation in the u. s. e. u, as in some modeling, a dual requiring produces to pay for the processing of that text on waste. we have to ensure that these laws don't just charge the producers for one portion of that puzzle. like just collection. it has to also facilitate the infrastructure for both reuse and recycling and the innovation around that right now, recycling isn't profitable. states acktis group, so set the tone by adopting tockets themselves the us to be successful as a result of that, we have to have committed that takes and that's where government and private enterprise has a role to play in saying that a government the chicks is very large procures of products. meanwhile, swedish reflects their renew, so has phone to buy a. the private equity investor also has bought the company's remaining assets. also
10:46 am
invest in industries that help to reduce carbon emissions. text though recycling is one of them. the company is now to be renamed suck, you know, it's like it's fine. but despite the progress in textile recycling, there's still more to be done. recycling is the only one part of the problem of a cutting consumption backend of cannot continue if you want to move to the most of the same type of industry. there is a huge amount of, of production in the industry and to whoever is responsible for the it's just a lot of the debated on that. bottom line is that a little production needs to, to, to use the 100000000000 governments. we produce each year means 14 for every person in the world. if we could convince function victims to stop buying the body weight, including at least we can insure that as much as possible of what they purchase is recycled. dealing with waste is the same house as last
10:47 am
problem across the last heads of the southern said to somebody lot. also what josh center with garbage is being done into something very easily and it is helping new life boom in a garden. and they are just on demand to establish it draws visitors from far and wide. the military mountain really is one of india's oldest bossing to the military. hills in coming out of the town of good news is a major stuff on the way the tourists are very welcome here. in addition to the ruling t plantations, the holidaymakers are key source of income. but there are downsides. 16 tons of waste are produced each the by the tones $45000.00 residents. then there's the garbage left by the tourist. partnership 192000 but more than 10 years ago in 2013
10:48 am
after the festival of the wiley, i saw a facebook post written by one of my friend stating that they were going to clean the waste through, noted by the tourists of the $1.40 joined, so i decided to join in la nadia slowly. many other volunteers joined us do. then we started to dream about cleaning up the river that runs to, nor they ended to us while cleaning the river. that we started looking for a place i need to dump the waste to quickly and get a corporate loan through part the law nadia on the some of it there was no model lance in sight and could nor at that time. so the idea of processing, the waste was born, the volunteer garbage collectors, set up a clean for new organization. they're able to keep the mountain screen for themselves and the visitors. the 1st step was to separate the garbage into dry and which with the wet garbage is made up mostly of animal unplanned twist
10:49 am
though not made to base 2 out of the one that we collect all the lead ways in one place inside the width. we found it in the front and then it is shifted to look on veil pallet organic, where the non organic impurities are removed from the bottom right after the zation on. it is then mixed with other vegetables and food waste. allow me a lot for them. expanding this mixture then has to dry. during this process, it gets regularly over to the end of the 40 days. the dry mouth is then shredded uncrowned. the result is high quality for the laser that is bought out by local farmers. the, all the mobile phone is a regular customer to the full government in the city already put all these flowers, why we need to be its value of 6 to 7 and our fertilizer is the because this photo eliza has the smallest growth votes, but it's also the nitrogen, phosphorus, and production beneficial and its contents, mike the nutrients do. and 2nd to the nutrients like magnesium,
10:50 am
sausage and gotomeeting, it will be a full service move. all these tell the plans to robo caller looking quantity and quality with the top as us and a lot of the vs life of the plants has also increased. the good news now for recess is 2 thirds of its garbage, which weighs its don't into for the lives of an 85 percent of dry waves is recycled . let's roll it over a little bit because we are successfully managing ways and we put into a small town with a limited number of people, resources and market as well. if we can do that, sure, it would definitely be possible in larger towns for now that have a many advantages or us perhaps more problem in lots stone or there are no problems with drugs available and there's a lot more got the one here. we have to do everything by hand, but it's not that drones what to manage with. like this log. it would also be a great success or a little bit more and a lot. it can be a great selection of taurus or against looking to the down this your drawn by the famous really and because good nor is
10:51 am
a picture. histone which has got its waste problem under control moving on. so anyways, let's talk about bakshi as easy as or electric vehicles, staples, there is one big question. what happens to the use batteries of the rising number of electric cars, less types of germany when you, these are gaining traction, reciting back. these can be a complex process, but this can be done on your part or checked out a new battery, the slicing launch. you have the in the event of any emergencies. and electric vehicle battery has to be dropped into water as quickly as possible when recycling these safety requirements are enormous. a warehouse like this one has to be flooded with foam within minutes. the batteries are extremely flat level or explosive. that since we opened, we've been an interesting journey that it was pretty excited and even at the
10:52 am
beginning, the employers, the 1st company to do recycling could make a huge fortune. that's because batteries contain valuable metals, like cobalt and nickel flights. all we expect 15000000 electric vehicles on german roads by 2030. when the 15000000 is practically the day after tomorrow. i think you're not likely stadium or which is a weird visiting europe's largest recycling plant for electric vehicle batteries, which opened just a few months ago if you're staying. yeah, we're standing here and one of the most expensive floors in germany. the implementing safety 1st doesn't necessarily mean saving money. we have these in the floors and absolutely watertight so we have a several meters sick. also stand equipped with a sensor that would notify us immediately if any substances were to sleep into the ground, giving them the batteries delivered, have issues and have been pulled out in the car factories. however, only a few are still coming here to clean it off. more with our focus is primarily on
10:53 am
testing and implementing new technologies and then using them, we're focused on learning as much as we can to be ready for when the old batteries come out and the high volume suddenly arrives. uh i was coming up i'm, i do have one coming. that high volume will arrive when the batteries of the 1st generation of electric vehicles fail in a few years. then big business will back in with the so called black masks and the metals it contains the transition from we're going to put our goal is to recover 95 percent of our nichols, which is the most expensive, most valuable or including lumen them and cover of course, all the world is turning to electric vehicles and the demand for these metals for batteries will grow significantly by recycling them. manufacturers could reduce the need to source them from mines with or working conditions, visits, or to dependent on raw materials from the 3rd countries. if the material from the
10:54 am
german recycling plant ends up in a pilot plant in northern europe, the battery is shredded and using a chemical process turned into what's known as black mass, the black gold of the recycling industry. among other things, you can extract this green mix of nickel, manganese and cobalt from it, which is used in this form for new batteries. but is the price right now with prices? it's difficult to give exact prices at the moment because the business is still in development and what's more world market price is fluctuate great life. yeah, that makes it difficult to calculate the concept, see those trust. so that's when operations get ramped up, much of the process will be automated. however, the batteries still need to be improved for high recycling rates. with the old with car batteries, we can clearly see that the german car manufacturers are now focusing more and more on optimizing product design for
10:55 am
a cycling design. so they want to work with us and because they are just as interested in raw materials as we are and the, the wholesale, they also want to close the cycle and you're often chi self sneezing and high recycling rates, such as for aluminum, have another advantage in the end, they're also good for the climate you, the toner menu, every ton of aluminum that we can return to the smelters, for example, save 95 percent in energy and therefore c o 2 l 2. these are the real heroes of quasi raw materials compared to raw materials that we get from the minuses, develops the mean to come. the operators of the recycling plant have invested 1000000 and see what they believe will be a safe bet. so many better ways to deal with josh, we will do you with the trash in your home in any unique way of doing it. just know you can email us already talked to me directly on my social media handle. i will see you next week until then take care bye. almost got
