clear bases, super why the bus does here on plaza. i want to push to here is a foundation based on regulations from the colonial era over a 100 years ago. the older generations are still holding on this imperial lift 5. this is of our last start. but i think they also generation look at the different they have a different ethic and code than they think, museums need to catch up to the 21st century city. it's just a matter of when and who didn't have enough coverage to correct the mistakes of the past. 2 dogs, and if a t t belong to germany or egypt. what do you think? let us know in the comments the, the

the, the plastic was suppose to protect the piano. pay the packaging, reload is on board a natural material. swedish engineer sten, goose stuff, tuning hook to come. that's packaging related deforestation. and 1959 to then the plastic bag, the, the end of it says bags were meant to be most stable and endlessly re usable. plastics could simply be recycled and we used the continuous cycle of new products . no current efficient collection and sourcing systems could make plastic waste

a treasure trove of rule material. the invention promised to be environmentally friendly and unimaginably profitable. the scenery that has yet to become reality. the dream of an environmental miracle is increasingly becoming a toxic and nightmare. plastic has spread across the planet like a dangerous virus. the 8300000000 tons of plastic, were produced between 19502015. but only about 9 percent was ever recycled. production is increasing exponentially. according to the u. n. more than $400000000.00 tons of plastics on now produced every year at this rate by 2050.

that could be more plastics and fish in the sea. when we talk about plastic today, we usually mean plastic waste, which makes up an average of 12 percent of all domestic waste and estimates of 288000000 tons of plastic waste and up in the environment every year and will release tungsten for hundreds or even thousands of years about 50 meters behind me. there's a dead bird, a plastic on the race, full boats out a swiss foundation is trying to increase the wellness of the dangers of plastic waste around $11000000.00 tons of plastic end up in the oceans. every year about one truckload a minute, the ocean fish,

birds and turtles nibbled on the shampoo bottle plastic waste and the sea effects animals and humans. unlike since almost half of the world's population feeds off the oceans. micro plastics and the food chain of very worrying the new policy comes from plastic waste. also threatened fully to attend 10 micro organisms that produce more than half of the oxygen on the check for the sake of the hill. and the one thing is such and he does not know plastics, impact find to plankton. we know that these micro particles accumulates. and so a plan to read those for these plastic particles can be found at every stage of the food chain that there's and we are at the end from uh we just sent you an email back. so she was, you could just fax the entire food network or she could want please,

if to send me called left to micro particles, influence the immune system, the energy reserves. i put some gross outputs and reproduction system. and also that's a viral spring. so to simply show enrollment in model, this one of the alarming and yet the still not sure how the plastic virus, the always sleep poking. so was an apocalypse, committing a kind of collective suicide. the how has we created this plastics flood that grows bigger every day. the population growth is partly to blame. the us was home to 2500000000 people in 1950. we now number more than 8000000000.

produce that much more waste. in 2019 annual per capita, plastic consumption worldwide average around 60 kilos in europe. it's almost $150.00 kilos. pub hudson, in north america, over 225 kilos. where waste ends up depends on the 12th of the nation developing countries or falls to take on huge amounts that flooded with packaging from industrialized nations. the they lack the means to come about the end of the float of plastic packaging the go miss me. this they'll usually leave a ship billions of many bottles of shampoo every yeah. knowing that the top big

countries can do nothing with the plastic or wessa no problem. we have that this is such a person, the 80 percent of the plastic waste and the oceans ends up in asia. and almost how full plastic waste is produced in a cd countries. instead of carrying the expense of recycling it home, industrialized countries preferred to exports the waste. sometimes even the legally entire villages are all from drowning and plastic. the, the bar last 2 weeks has been dumped here for a long time. by the way, from denmark initial ireland, by my w k. the us on the street. yeah. and i, yeah. i am getting somebody got the tons of calls which

has arrived in band and every day since the 19 ninety's. the indonesian town has become a plastic village. abdul residents, head for the golf, which keeps to search for reusable items to sell for recycling. the weather affects the earnings of anyone who relies on the rice fields, full book, full harvest, no wages. that will not pick up the time. so i depend, i have no debt design, so that's important to me. you know, i no longer have to worry about money every day with the to and i'm the to the plastic waste also is a reliable income. the old, the most is the impulse,

it waste cannot be was only cold. it's still used. the many small businesses here in the east java region produce tofu, and they have heat at their office for decades with a resource cheaper than would plastic waste from finding the black smoke clouds rise into the sky above the rice fields. toxins and chemicals are released into the accumulation on the ground, the catastrophic consequences of imposing so much waste. but the media have helped raise awareness, sparking some businesses to return to what

in 2018 china then the world's largest consumer of plastic waste stops accepting exported waste. a big change for the recycling industry. exports destined for china instantly diverse. it's a south east asia and africa, which liked the expertise and infrastructure to manage the waste member states at the positive convention in 2019 agreed on the rules for trading plastic waste into nationally. countries must now explicitly approve the impulse of waste containers. both customs controls a complex and expensive and a legal trade. still a balance was many countries including the united states don't recognize the a cold at the possible convention. the plastic production creates at this time them are within the consumer society

and resulting has to come even more complex because of the different types and use such as a plastic the bowl. plastics are made from crude oil, but polyethylene to ross the late, so p t is the most frequently recycled plastic is unfortunately on the accounts for around 6 percent of all. plastics. of the types include polyethylene and probably properly for p, e and p. p. for short, additive such as coloring fung, decides, and anti oxygens facilitate the production process will help make the plastics more usable. the plastics become more or less the full resistance transparent o installation. depending on their intended use, the

chemical engineer used to manipulate the material characteristics of that plastic can they accomplish that by adding other chemicals like pallets and that is often the so not always the source of the problem. the chemical altitude is essential for plastic production make recycling more difficult. the. the editors combine during the recycling process, diminishing the quality of the plastic, the new plastic product. so sort of hazardous chemicals touching consume is at risk and 10 during the search and the economy it makes sense to use recycled materials to preserve resources. but when you have recycled plastic,

they may be additional chemicals contaminants and these chemicals can then migrate into the food when recycle plastic is used as food packaging. so besides fantastic can lead to higher levels of migration and also migration of hazardous chemicals. we're learning that recycle plastic has its problems many recycled plastics or hazardous and even p plastic the supposedly safe is plastic. now, we've learned that as you recycle it over and over again, it gets more and more toxic generation recycled plants. the european commission wants to be often mistake. we took note of new and resent publication, so about possible precedence of has of the substances in recycled b, d. the new legislation provides us with opportunities for taking action if that would be so needed a presence. however, we are very confident that the recycled

b. d. if produced, forwarding to the rules, we will lay down will be set in some countries of the world recycled materials can be used in food packaging. one example is switzerland, where actually the use of recycled paper and board for food context directory contact is not legal. recycling plastic is a challenge on many levels. only a small portion of the world's plastic waste ends up and recycling plants. much of it cannot be recycled in large quantities because of its varying properties. but whether recyclable or not, it must be source it a complex, expensive tough. the even p cheap also at the same plastic type has to be separated by color. labels and

lids made of different plastics must be removed. the fox, the session cost a not to the young, the problem. many plastics. all recycle asshole. neutrons for recycling the multi layer plastics for example. or plastics combined with aluminum is metal or painted? the primarily packaging used for food and medicine, the, the cost sushi and the deterioration and pharmacy of to repetitive recycling mix for sites will products unprofitable. the logistics cost more than the material and

the new high quality plastic cell's better the in europe, many types of plastic waste i'll connect to it but not recycled. a more efficient recycling system would require a restriction on the types of plastics produced and found them all home full additives. the park of the past toward safe and sustainable plastics is testing or another part is very simple. and that's to reduce the number of chemicals being used in plastic the plastics industry has to take action if there's to be any change. yeah, booking through that,

so in case of a file is incomplete, the moving companies are increasingly looking for solutions on their on then not necessarily supported by government, but they have to do something on me for government and g o. as in companies together to make it better. so please provide me with a may of success. silicone deals with some companies have now launched muscles made from free recycled php books. recycled plastics seems particularly questionable for food packaging. b, u. recycling regulations from 2020 to stipulate that to use plastic may only be reused and food packaging. if it has been cleaned using appropriate or novel technology. let me is on the say, let's say i can know more about you a particularly i think we get to close the so complying with the regulations is difficult. the current legal situation allows plastic manufacturers to keep the recipes in ingredient this secret. this is a problem for consumer health,

but also for recycling that if you don't know what's in the material, you don't know what you can do with it or see on public. good, the yeah, the hosting cloud, most of the back waves, ortho is looking at the stuff by asking for families. you might tell you we before you, when we sent you the hosting click it could for materials containing harmful substances, the recycled. they can contaminate the entire recycling child, you don't want them, you may know some of that action or think that there are some transparency issues in the supply chain which, which sometimes make enforcement more difficult and make also. yeah, that the, the public is sometimes wondering about what is, what is going on with all these plastics. the recycling of most plastics is not. no michel, unlike michel gloss, paper the around 50 percent of the world's plastic waste ends up and landfills.

19 percent and incineration johns and 22 percent in the environment of a 2000000000 people currently live without so waste can actually system including disadvantage on the island of gaia and malaysia. 15000 people live here without running vasa and without proper waste disposal. garbage is thrown in the ocean, the lack of drinking voice, and means that comes in plastic muscles and creates plastic waste. the children here don't know any different. pollution has always been costs of the lines. the people are desperate. the, the items of dalia is just one example. the situation is similar in most poor

tropical countries. people sort of the waste into the river where the next heavy rain carries ditch into the sea, the reading, the oceans of plastic as an almost impossible task. the plastic no certainly breaks down quickly into micro and the number of particles is almost always things to the sea floor. in estimates of point 5 percent. so one percent of plastic waste remains on the surface sea floor. it stands out for a long because of the lo, microbial of the dates on the, for the additional from 6 to las colinas technicians. micro plastics have even been found in trim, a depth of 10000 meters in the mariana trench. all marine organisms today have been

affected by micro plastics. we thought it pollution. we called us to many on the on. so questions remain about the effects of plastic and the see. science is only just beginning to find on says this plastic is going to be around for a long time. it's going to be with us until we stop polluting and even after we stop polluting, it's still going to be there. so we have to know what that's going into as it continues to age. this is, does it become more hopeful of that sample right now? we don't know, that's why we have to understand this. alongside the threat to the oceans. toxins in plastics continue to threaten all health. just how seriously remains on the or the dirty dark secret of plastics is that they are not

chemically inert. they leach chemicals that get into the food that those plastic sur, containing the chemicals that can transfer from caustic into food are usually small molecules. and so these can be, for example, the salads of these fennel's bends are fee $9.00 p fast. plastics released the chemicals from which they are made and these have an impact on the health we still know relatively little about the exact effect. think about how many chemicals are in plastics. thousands and among them are multiple and the cr disruptors like the best thing, all the satellites and other things that really tack hormones. they change how you develop not all the chemicals that are able to transfer from caustic packaging into food are known. and so if you have,

i'm non count because you cannot assess the risk health risk of these and chemicals . so there is a blind spot today i look for plastic is used as without us knowing if it's safe for human. huh. but i would also said the loss of plastic is used in spite of us knowing that there are chemicals there that are has to those to whom and how to, how so states as the chemical compositions have yet to be sufficient, they researched how and so what extent are plastics of the chemical components tested before they are placed on the market, the in order to improve the health impacts of plastic food packaging. we really need to test the finished plastic product. right now we're testing the substances that are used to make caustics. those are then changed during the plastic manufacturer into completely different chemicals. and we don't actually know the account because that all migrating into the food and

that people are exposed, we don't experience chemicals one by one. we experience mixtures all of the time. and what we now know from many different scientific studies is that the chemicals interact when they are in mixtures. and the effects can be much greater than the effect of a chemical by itself. it's called the cocktail effect. i want to ask you this when your doctor prescribes you a new drug for treatment. what's the 1st question he has? he asks, what else are you taking? the physicians understand the cocktail affect? they understand the absolute need to take that into account. and yet the chemical regulatory agencies have failed utterly to do that, i get some chemicals for my food, some from order some from the air we breathe, so from the place we wear and so forth. so we are really exposed to this next, and then we have all these,

it can be several hundreds of men made chemicals thing in our blood. and it's hard to know what all of that best together in this mix. and we have to test them for health impacts that are relevant to the human population. so that is cancer, but it's also cardiovascular disease. it's effect on the immune system, its effects on the brain. it's effects on the rep, productive system. and it's also effects on the metabolic health. so diabetes, for example, the end products of plastic packaging are not sufficient. the test, as we know only the risks of a fraction of the chemical components which are protected by corporate secrecy making testing difficult. the one of the 1st things you learned in endocrinology is that high doses of hormones cause one thing. low doses of hormones cause something else. sometimes the exact

opposite. that means you can't predict low dose consequences based on high dose experiments. chemicals reaching out of plastics, hormone disrupting chemicals, can work at parts per 1000000000. and what seems to be tiny, irrelevant concentrations, the old concept of the dose makes the poison is irrelevant to endocrine disruption comm pounds. so what happens if you have agencies testing in the wrong way, where they ignore low dose effects? you have hazardous materials in commerce, all over cars and regulatory agencies do not test at low doses. for the most part. do government regulations provide any protection over the decades? funds has developed and we've learned more about how chemicals can be toxic, but oftentimes, regulations haven't kept up with the scientific discoveries. we're starting to see

some movement. for example, the european food safety authority. they now recommend that the amount of the p a we can be exposed to on a daily basis is actually a 100000 unfold what they saw just a few years ago. that's a big change. and it's very likely that a range of other chemicals that are in the current disrupting compounds like this going away will have their tolerable daily intake. what's safe for us reduced like a similar amount. this will revolutionize the chemical industry and move it dramatically towards sustainability. some countries are bad at protecting the citizens than others. for example, fronts on a couple of years ago actually banned the chemical piece, you know, a from all of the different food pack. it didn't contain it, so it's illegal and funds to put products on the market that has been sent away. some of the nordic countries have stricter regulations on satellites or on p facts

. and they don't allow these kind of clothes to be present in any types of food packaging. containers in the way, the most sciences being done on classics on the account. because in plastic on the health impacts, the more we learned about how difficult it is to assess these health impacts, but also how many chemicals on plastic that are extra of concern to human health. the average person absorbs up to 5 grams of plastic a week. the same weight as a credit cost. the main lease from boats or from plastic bustles, food, and into the federal move in 300 chemicals in the human body. even in new bones. the new called the micro plastics are already found in the human placenta and

mothers and children who are full and environmental as well as a public health problem for them to something too much. funds can only partially protect consumers, move in 650 breaches of e u. chemical safety legislation by companies were uncovered in europe in 2019 and uniform global regulations. just an active as to pipe dream. the letters key here. plastics, in global, in the plastic you probably can. plastics, industries, global i. logistics are produced in one place has been processed and then another been sold in the fund would put the manufacturers in the system, keeping ingredients secret mem go live even in countries with a strict regulations such as you're welcome on the hop, highly toxic plastic, find the way on to the market and it's sort of actually, it's a go to industries. don't say it's what's more, that's in the plastics industry is not currently being held responsible for the

environmental damage. it closes despite the unimaginable scale of a sales, full 100000000000 in europe. and of the coca cola pepsi co unless they are responsible for 14 percent of the waste collected from c shoals by 2025 as much as $120000000.00 tons of plastic waste could be added to ocean every year. 10 times the amount in 2015 the u. one full plastics to be recycle by 2030. but even if a local target on that this would only reduce the amount of plastic waste and the oceans by 7 percent by 2014. the

and recycle does not mean cycles. the nasa remains a challenge. plastics are here to stay or is it anymore? i go home like he's sick, plastic i think is an oil industry by product due to the climate crisis. i think there are restrictions on the production of fuel and crude oil. this is why petra chemicals have to come a 2nd important tenor over the past 1015 years of what it particularly plastics. an oil additive is the plastic. it is a duty. so if it, when you go to the basic center, it will be putting in a minimum associate, they can pull these up. i think it's a plastic low be is the oil lobby. they don't, the plastic produces are the same companies that produce oil and gas companies. over the last 30 years, so thought they have prevented political decisions against climate change. so raised scientific dialed to hang up and stopped any developmental that could ricky, like production 40. i'm believe officer to didn't look at best if it results in

the situation is serious in action will hurt the environment and human health stuffy design, a grilled warrant that has and then when they the international law established, the polluter pays principal years ago. the policy responsible for the damage was also bad. the cost the plastics industry is doing well. i'm plastic is cheap because that's because the cost of a health shortly assignments and bond diversity, you have borne by the general public really so not by the industry, april the product which you pay it by product. if the costs are included in the price of plastic, right, the business model would collapse about, know some of this money into the equipment, or do i? the plastic alternatives may be

a solution. bio degradable combustible disposable table was made from hate, called food, or clone, such as bamboo, palm leaves without oil. but other chemicals like piece tasks. compounds can be found here. they make the product, water and oil repentant the call to break down the to have negative effects on health, high cholesterol levels low as a tendency, low a bus weight, and they may cause testicular. i'm kidney cancer, the early 17 percent of the containers tested by european consumer protection group. what below the recommended p fast limit was the fact that easy says they say, well that's it. the we analyze 16 plates, both stools made from single use,

plastic substitute. all sudden my own and 3, you'll have no unwanted compound the disposable table, whereas supposedly combustible physical. but it contains many hum, full substances, accepting this is problematic if the compost is used to fertilize plums on the pollutants and then end up on consumers, plains new or not. i send you cool. so metal before they come in in 2, we should avoid disposable table where not look for a substitute that has not any best of folks in moore, oklahoma. yeah, we see some natural materials come on to the markets which yeah, may be unsafe, but presently our framework is not sufficient. at least the union level to properly cover woods up, which is one of the reasons why urgently we need to set the wider rules to cover also for this kind of materials. which is why we're now revising the full compact legislation. all your plastics produced from song based rule materials, a multitude as

a plastic alternative. some contain petroleum based polymers. all those all supposed to be composed of all the bio based plastics try not to use for super sources but to renew a better sources. with the purpose of reducing the capital footprint barrel certifications, folks from hospitable products that go beyond the existing standards. but they don't need a sufficient no mandatory this time difficult, but suddenly the require us on all thoughts, tasty 3. since the navy mentors are, must be bidding the new functional. why then the bank as you approach and do this face and do the same, they must be tested for equal took c, c. this is so those are some extra days that are not required to normal vacancy on normal plastics. bio plastics do not solve the problem of plastic in the

environment. even if they all biodegradable the composting require special facilities that are not yet white sprint. the . we have to control plastic waste on land before it ends up in the sea. new approaches to plastic waste of time due to the environment. the plastic waste has traditional. they've been converted into energy and huge incineration sounds expensive and unprofitable. an alternative approach to converging plastics is pyrolysis plastic molecules of split. i'm conversate into some septic gas or oil, which can then be used as fuel or electricity. the. this technology is still in the test phase. it's environmental impacts needs to be

minimized. the used in municipal waste management. pyrolysis could eliminate the need to transport millions of tons of waste by land and sea. the ends of magic for cycling is another promising innovation still in its infancy. a. d. a missed to produce a new p t. plastic. like home to can you did the nose, incense, acidic tv, the basic property of an enzyme is it selectivity, known the enzyme would only breakdown p t. i felt using the lock and key method less initial starting would be required to saving money with all the details of the on policy did a few ways he gets you are process leads to the absolutely clean all thoughts. so remember through i by example, they might have this pinels consolidates, for example, drops below the limit buckled upgrade reports see, but the bustle,

production process is still the same in our process. soles neither the problem that the multiple causes in nature to the new nor the problem of micro plastics media corporate in the corporate news solutions that lead to a more ethical, plastic industry all years. the way we don't have that much time companies competes for consumers, thoughts is consumers buy a few, a products packaged in plastic. they will force manufacturers to use of production methods. possible solutions also deposit some products with minimal or no packaging, with a 98 percent of n t packaging in germany has been returned since 2003 the piece was on the phone. i cram old the news as you need. let me know we have had a single use consumption for 60 years now, only now we need to develop

a circular economy yet with multi use packaging with us because it produces some customers that are not ready to move. we have to stop and change our attitude and working with them. i really believe that if you redesign packaging so that it can be returned and reuse at all. so that can be worth while for retired as a manufacturer, as to the slides is that it's the same people to develop people new and just give me dial beautiful theories. it a promising medium term solutions to the plastic waste problem. required investment and interest from oil companies and product to me comes down in hankle know, hang on, nestle and plastics. you're declined to be interviewed for this film. the haps, the police have pays principal needs to be applied to the entire production chain,

financing infrastructure for a functioning search in the economy. and would be an incentive to produce more cycle and less home for plastics. europe is aiming high. we are reviewing and revising the legislation on foot contact materials and there we will look at a better alignment with the chemicals legislation. and in particular, the chemical strategy for sustainability did commission is working on to deal with the most most hazardous substances. probably substances with d, so underground disruptive properties will face very tough legislation and may only be used if, if that will be essential in the future. we need to have

a high level of transparency. we need to have a better level of control. what substances are actually being used many promises for the future, but the clock is ticking and legislation takes time. across the board, legislation is necessary for real results, as known as low as differ from country to country. they will be circumvented for profit and to the detriment of the environment and human health. at the beginning of 2022, un member states agreed to develop a binding international treat team. the agenda included the limitation of plastic production, the regulation of ingredients and their environmental impact. in addition to health and social issues, the main focus was on implementing the produce of pays principal.

the poor countries need support to develop an environmentally friendly waste management system. most importantly, plastic consumption must be drastically reduced. best replacement for food packaging is no food packaging. and that actually means sifting the whole way that the business models are designed and even the types of products that people consume . so i think the best that people can do for their own health is to consume less process foods to consume locally, produce food and does off foods that don't need a lot of packaging. if we could focus on on high quality plastics on site plastics with that has with chemicals and, and move away from the really cheap types and the single use type. and i think that could definitely be hard for plastics which are definitely not to be impossible. but that needs to be a when and that needs to be an accept. those buddies might be,

for example, more in the 1950s idealistic vision of a well with a search and a plastic economy has failed. the consequences of the plastic virus has major challenges for today's to so a t a rethink is necessary as, as legislation to protect the environment and human health for future generations. the, the 2nd major difference, visionaries with a project get involved to create to effective future, to day experiences.
