to talk about there is a significant risk of human extinction from advancing our system. our series continues d w. the oldest is the new young. well, let me explain. hello and welcome on saw the got the body and you're watching equally. from fremont. good fashion to z furbished phone and i'm like are the, was in the fatty gee size are the was and that also one of my favorite cents and this will be yours. not only on the book you today,

e waste is going phenomenally in india, and i think it's time that really considered our consumption factor. should you'll be buying a new phone or repairing your work or maybe buying or refurbished for a better idea. and what is these lights to dispatch you went fine on so, so these questions i'm not a little about and or to that's india is using in new ways to be with this massive problem of you waste in this next report. but obviously you guys are going to place the big tech companies withdraw 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 the people are just 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 all those like it, without even full of the 5 or 6 of us am on the table here. m o, you know, one. 0 yeah, it's up to you to the table. 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 with them mindset back in the retain this ingenuity. and the cultural 6th thing was broken, but also keeping us economies from i'm here on delhi, the respect to figure out how all of this is going to fails. and then 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 myself to see how much longer i can make

it last. but i've also been very careless, uncompleted fluid my displays. i looked it up and it costs 30000 refuse to buy a new phone on the same models. so i'm here to see whether it's worth getting into bed instead. for like 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 then the, the showroom quoted, 16000 rubies, 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 informal and semi form, an electronic deposit. this is a gray area. some vendors may be authorized, the, those are, those may not be registered. not all of them pay taxes. yes. because they told me they can offer the cheapest services by cutting deals over or under the table or find some low ground or the other models that 7000

a copy of garbage think. what you've got is because of the maggie quite interesting that everybody has quoted me a different single, which means that of course doesn't stand out then 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 solved, ease of state and families for many generations. but it gets more nice. this tradesman specializes in only fixing the economic boom of the 1990 the 2000 and change this culture completely with more money in that pocket. some things getting cheaper people started buying mall and somebody 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 in the us for cheap and accessible that

are more people with phones, then beds, all mattresses or chairs electronic devices will became an outlier to the old immune debank also, mainly 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 older 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 ways has drawn phenomenally in india, and many countries have had similar results and their stories of development and after lives very little of this waste is formally recycled. this is where electronics come died. this is the biggest electronics waste market in the and the truck loads of discarded electronics come here every day and i'm

dumped onto local traders. these people separate them and sell parts on the recyclers or other kinds of strap dealers. they're literally e waste everywhere. look at that here. so it goes, break down the tech to recover anything of value the results of this kind of informal dumping. i mean of this 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 lived academy and mobility in many ways has been known to cause skin conditions in the 1st instance. but it's also been linked to problems with the

liver and development of the brain, including in 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 show of chemical pollution to ask what needs to happen to stop this to work 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 fit us? supposes and design the product, which is more than letting nature. but that's what a be a we just you're describing a product because you cannot take it 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 reduced. tow thing is about we need to formalize the past. we need to formalize refurbishments. i'm a lot also,

the method is only that. how do we encourage this? i think that we haven't, all of them being able to break to this 3rd thing is something the government is starting to work on it launch to 14 and 2020 to you to insure the citizens have the right to repair around 50 companies have signed up so far on people, these include manufacturers of farm equipment, consumers, you roubles, and also one bios as well as that. a tony i met the man in charge druid, 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 expensive, it should be easily accessible. and it should be noted li, available in the 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 up to consume of i'm fluid bodies and it also includes more specific called so action like that. all charges must be u. s. b c. by june 2025. you don't want to become in an impediment in the ease of doing business also. you know, it's a, it's a tricky thing. so i'm the one hand you want more business name. yeah. you want economy to grow, you want more of the i. 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 a past as a bill environment, and that is, it can be a long process. this is on with donia or profess of law at alliance university and manual 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? yes, visible is possible because remember that we are talking about also the interest

of and um lets 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, but that's the case. in this case, a lawyer name should cut the 14 com manufacturers to quote, which only allowed for repairs and exclusive repair shops. he argued 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 plugged back in the arguments. was that what would be no? so let's say we think give such an tools because you mostly for allow me more people to repair those costs or those consumer goods we go, it's going to influence our direct to appropriate your rights. in that case, the court decided against them mandating that the law comes. you must have go wherever they choose, based on what they can access and afford the problem that if you have, if you have markets, we collect the t. i know it's respected,

you mean discounts investments into that industry? for example, the funds that produce those electronic goods maybe does this, and we have reduce incentives to enter the market, the me of the legal market because it will say, well, but then when we are using data, not just for you know, it's because all the different budgets, right, this is not predicted because of the right to the fact that has already been pushed back even against a simple us b c, charging road. i believe india has asked for an exemption or a delay seeing it, but 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 accounting 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 are 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 group of funds from to set up what might become a norm across many products. a repair been at the 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 manufactured for was so the word has to be done. the same page is a difficult task or 2. but then we also engage with you and they are doing from a specific date, they're making expenditures. so reset, okay. uh you last 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 with a noise. examples board with huge foreign investments have been written, been proposition for the consumer, for the guy who's looking as and gets an employment and the company expensive. and it was because we want to get some benefits because it's cheaper and accessible. and the guys being able to make a living. but this all still exist in pockets in very early stages. the big challenges, the hundreds of thousands of people whose livelihood depends on that. formalizing such a massive, 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, the thing i've decided

not to change the display of my phone because it's about a part 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 was that. 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 cultures of renewals and repair and retain them for a most sustainable and equitable future. there are more, he goes on oswell woods than ever before. and this means of the tie, a manufacturing industry is growing. and that means that more and more dials are ending up in i'm not to saddle what, what was a lot of times these are exporting their disorders. ios watkins, i'm dealing with them is a major challenge because not only are they more on biodiesel or the ones, but they're also very, very hot. so is that i need to acknowledge that can help us with this problem or of

knowing of stacking all of it. let's find out is find some money, has no shortage of lines right now. his company, but he's not far from home by specializes in reciting tires. he started out in the business for decades ago regarding the fact that with the funds for companies that the 1st choice. the 2nd one is the uh, data for it goes without knowing this printer wireless. so be going saw size from them. the amount of these values, the says buy is my theme is almost doubled over the past 5 years. his main customers are weekly, more companies, just like the booming market. dia, recycling is a growing business in india last year, and it gave new life to some one and a half 1000000. dias, industrial split se,

but it could be more, the majority still end up being refused dumps in order to have safety schools, a strategies come up from the government or from the industry side. this important that we don't dump it to mentions because that could cause problems such as the infestation of the tests on to be tires or even if you're in some of it, the international tires can actually be very definitely to be in by his budding, most tires can pollute the environment, is to put it into landfill. that's also damaged ecosystem. the sound of nevada, 75 kilometers outside moved by is home to one of india's leading style recyclers. the company uses the waste my data to produce a material uses as far as reinforcement enroll construction or the boss can use it as up. so i could, over 6000000, use tires, joby, and with a lot that how many i added and recommended. although is dias or gifted the don't

to do and then process to the machines your 1st, the 1st one is called a dias, heard or pass, or no say that the tires are suspended 1st in 50 millimeter pieces before being sentenced to and now they're measuring colder respond reach for the reduces them to a size of 25 millimeters. these are also called a tire size in size and $25.00 and the size length of protective to the next step involves chopping up those chips into even smaller pieces and then fucking them up for delivery. the fine granulated is lita mixed with drugs to stones and put them in to create as on what do you do to cause crum it makes road surfaces more robust and do that. but the government policy, and in fact, the lord engineering policy saves the surface of world,

shouldn't have a better product, which would handle the good uh, you know, which sort of wave. in fact, the, you know, at the higher temperatures, richardson lives with the water also which can carry the highest terrific loads. so i think the number of the domain, the between what, what of them, when it's in the head and weaknesses, area. the material is being used in the construction of a 67 kilometer stretch of the denny chapel highway. the conductor on the project says, the modified between both the performance of as far as concrete is got benefit to be okay. and they call the improve the right quality of their own when compared to regular as far as for the to, to be smoother. and the more traffic that old gets off, the more a to help create new was frictional guards or jump fix on it or direct i'm about to explode. see that's the recycling scrap tires for neutral isn't

environment please send me alternative to all those 2nd life options. such as binding them to produce industrial or the production of crum rubber modified benjamin, however, is extremely energy intensive. due to the high temperature was required steady compared to conventional us. but it did reach considerably newest c o 2 emissions and yet, despite the positive result, construction companies in india remained reluctant to use the bathroom. and i believe there is a lack of education amongst being the street to use or to shred the border into the site, the product number one, which also means that you have not get a stop to use the robot in good right. sense the number 2 is there

is there still demanded can be standard guidelines for the specifications that you should start using the recycling products. the government has introduced rules under which style manufacturers and importers must recycle their products. companies have been too slow to respond and are demanding financial support to implement the regulations. scientists mean by going through a range of opportunities for using the psycho styles. we've also, uh, used to the mean for bidding pictures inbox. so if you want to do better dykes or ports that could be used if you want to use it for some other purpose, i think that is a good number of uses of rubber in, in, in similar to structure as well via the tires of 1st use it takes 15000 scrap tires to produce crum benjamin for one can normally do

a fluid with the network that spends 6700000 kilometers is old, who is immense potential of cycles waste diet plastic is not good for not in line. and we all noise, so an environmental list informed us that he decided to clean up all the beaches and read them or forcing the news. but he did not stop there. he decided to turn it into something more useful and beautiful and teach others how to do the same. for example, the chip does not end up on the shore, but instead, it's shawn's phones into something like this. i got seen even useful need talkie from dress or the jetty beach in seminar is of course in plastic waste substitute eigenvalues used to hand pick the rubbish and dispos adults in garbage bins onto. he'd realize that that didn't make it disappear. today

. he was plastic josh, as a result of rome. what do you do that he does intellect. octave items inspired by the us. he lived and worked in australia. when most austic is recycled, not to know what is left the funding to live on the 3rd party cargo. i spent my childhood here in products, everything and i went to the quote here for 10 years on the time. you know, i loved the beach and i am phones of the see almost every day, almost every day i would come and play by the sea shore lot not. and that is so i have lots of memories from that time. i and i go to amazing beauty to be a lot to me and so i returned and i think i got not gonna be. but after i came back, i noticed lots of things with into the same buying them out there with piles of garbage on the sea shore. i felt the urge to try to change something afoot funding it. the plastics problem, especially multi layer plastics, like potato tea bags. for example, i can be recycled to a lot. that's

a huge part of that one out environment but nobody at nothing either. busy video, but he's no focusing on his skills to people in and around for bucetti in the book, but it's in that article mode, the plastic garbage under control affected him d p. s. there is no proper solution. instead of collecting and cleaning the garbage to create cost products, it wouldn't be easier if evan separated the trash at. so some of that be we could do the software from the 2nd just using what it is used to package metal, either legitimately pretty recently on the alarm about on the via the machete. the optics can be sold. the environmental activist advice has them and about how to make money with big trucks outside these items, like this box, for example, was sold as a 0 waste festival and for the chevy, it's a win win situation by the time from. so now you're putting down the problem livelihood, so based on the slick on it, but these,

these low describe it as being washed ashore like plastic and other trash. we had no idea of what to do about it, but no, we use it to make baskets. 10 bags and other cloth to create. hello ma'am ma'am. in mississippi, g comes to collect the for the visas, $200.00 individual piece for small gaskets. that's more then to your it was about 300 to peaceful, big baskets on 80400 bucks and 900 for the children's bags. and the important thing is now of a village is very p. there is a cost plus $5.00 another for the la you put in a lot of good as the leaves let in the changes alone. then i saw those village them and making a living. doing this, i got inspired to holland t r o the are always very happy about and get up and put them both on a lot of your loved ones to spend a sense of responsibility for from my side. didn't know i didn't know step. this is

a small step from my side of goods if we are old, so minded to make some effort. and then we can protect our environment to be chosen and ready to meet to alaska. perfect, but the biggest trip to uh pieces is the belief that someone else will see that i am totally on board with this idea of designing maximum value. also, whether it is to recycling or reusing or something else. what do you, what are there any such habits that you incorporate to me on the life? do let me know. you can email us or reach out to me directly on my social media handles. i will see you next week until then take it good by the
