that is there another way officer ruled the environment is not responsible. make up your own mind dw, made for mines the funny one sec. let me just finish this. hello and welcome. i'm sorry, got the body and 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 visa cops and or short on a use factory. but we can do a lot better. that's find out how. upside thing is
6:31 am
a quick one step back when we think of 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 waist wireless and 20, you know, wide web is actually generates more than 92000000 tons of fixed. i waste each year . ideas like this could really make a difference. meaning sky such tiny cod and um okay. and again, my name's sky, sunshiny khan, and i'm from india. i'm the founder of david akasha. we work on northridge, index, tires and handle, and we do a lot of upside. the i was stored by somebody lifetime, use it as an intelligent good minded, well,
6:32 am
sorry, philosophy at oxford and do something things were doing life while starting fashion and just doesn't want to find the best option for me is we'd be more than just the product that we landed on way it talks about the way of it as a country, as well as the wood and where we may go to the i would like if i said, i always wanted to be a session designer. i wanted to be so need of some things i wanted to see like an english sco supply. it's an app to just, i wanted to be a veterinarian, all sorts of things. but somewhere along the way, i had a book which my father still has the same life and drop it off on that it was a movies and i was i, descriptions of what they will. and i couldn't use my father that i want to be a fashion designer. i'm sorry, the fashion of the okay, was telling the like they were talking about recycling, exciting sustainability. so i don't know why going to so interesting, but then when i, what about uh oh my god, vision doing, you know what is upside doing? what is it a site like at home?
6:33 am
when i went to anything, i can get a bunch of papers together and we can just create this new found out why and not being wastewater. why same difficulty? why not doing things into the garbage? can the i think this 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 body to me. then i moved to my mom's office 15 to same. then we have to go to a larger 5 division to for the white house, and we took another space and we had other issues likely be the only thing that goes on. 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
6:34 am
it's a funny thing a lot. yeah, definitely. luckily, but the photo fashion, a 1000000 fashion makes complete sense. i mean, i read it assumes that a window is open and we're being somewhere. so from that point of view into, i'm remaining fashion is most vaudeville. if it go down, you will still be able to mix that you are the producers of fashion. i mean, so sometimes all make them trust you and believe, you know, thanks a lot of time, especially when you're like a 20 to 20 people, send us out of college. let's do this on. definitely people who could, you know, we ran the show here or just like, by the princess who was inside the i actually got a name. i mean, i was asked to that now because of the neighbors isn't even going to do is because
6:35 am
i don't maintenance and all means even more so high. so for me that was one time and i realize that actually when i, once i would tell you people, i would expect different things from the i think the phone in glo save akasha were just about making something that's not gonna hurt anyone. we don't say it was sustainable aside from us, what we're doing is we're saying that let's this thing good. let's lots to say tundra. let's not exploit and let's make photo sound good for downloading netflix products that, you know, also making it always skimming screenplays. i listened for the last for a long time, the when i said they put it on me thinking and talking about the children's education like that to me is very, very hard for me all when i see them talking, wonder why is now going to walk like that and makes it and i said we're doing
6:36 am
something correct. wendy relies that all of these things are so important in pollution the i think that if we just stall the motion, if he's going to be the job now. and he didn't just was was because there were times i got this thing that it is a big feeling, backing searching is quite like, i mean, the reasoning maybe such a wide brands like gosh, all changing things up. you know, great way it's wednesday is a lot more than the 1st of small labels to address the problem of 6. i was only one percent of the deal with 6 sided waste is actually the cycle and this is the use of them for using this. but that, or is that is unusual that will sooner or later catch visas of the fashion industry . roughly 10 percent of
6:37 am
a global carbon emissions stand from the text on industry. it's also incredibly resource intensive. guzzling up some 90000000000 cubic feet of water annually. that's 4 percent of global fresh water usage, unload and water goes into producing all case. almost always these and but he does go through heavy heavy, the chemical processes to make them the way they are today. whether it's finishing, whether it's dying, priyanka, 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 to 100 years for these materials to buy it as a degraded industrial. and that's a big problem because we produce a lot of textile waste. in the us, the text always has grown 80 percent since the year 2000. rachel keeps even set
6:38 am
kind of services great, which supports industry and government and reaching sustainability goals 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 doesn't is frequently bend and soul stoke and donated old closing all frequently shipped to the global south for resale, such as here in a crowd gonna with 40 percent of what arrives is actually considered charge the us and say the 600000000 key. those of use closing abroad every year, largely to the rest of the americas. while you're a big sports, i have a one and a half 1000000000 kilos. much of it to africa. often it is dumped bed or pollutes oceans and waterways. textile waste isn't just old. well won't have, it also includes excess stock and the scraps generated during production. less than one percent of the some of the, the,
6:39 am
the spike going today. 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. some of those plus may be down cycled into insulation. some may be sold as wiper rags and then a small portion 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 woodruff and 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 posting new technology and hoping to tap into the future 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 causing
6:40 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 or this to wheels and construction. while cotton's fellows is turned into clay, as 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. patriot and jones co founded blog techs in 2018 wait, that long takes to have that takes, that can be useful to many robs and 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,
6:41 am
it would expand capacity to $10000.00 tons a year. refresh, global invalid also emphasizes flexibility. tia bacteria breakdown and sanitize tech style waste. creating 3 role materials. not a set of those f, a no on spanish highs tech style 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 a shredded into a slurry, separated from contaminants and dried into sheets of what they call secular circular settlers,
6:42 am
which can replace village and 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 ip sec you. those can be recycled. 7 times. there are limits. the new cell can know you. recycle waste is 95 percent of costs are no pure meaning a lot of what goes to landfill isn't eligible for new spells recycling plant opened in 2022 with capacity to recycle 60000 tons annually written to expands to 820000. but in february 2020 full came the shock and the company filed for bankruptcy just days before and renew sell told the w. they were cycling fall below capacity. and fashion brands were hesitant to commit to recycle materials. we could be producing a lot more. tricia carries the chief commercial officer, knew so many of the brands have goals,
6:43 am
search for circularity or reduction traceability particles. uh you know, the 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. so partnered with levi's to recycle production waste and include 2nd ice in the products h and then became a shareholder in 2017. but still the plot didn't make a profit and it's 1st. yeah, it has been something that has shoak. most of us work in us has been a relative fix task, theresa dominic research to sustainability management, and t c. l universities. existing business models in which most of fashion brands are messed it. they don't really have 40 initiatives night when you sell the really well the degree 80 to be able to make a while recycling costs reliance on both ongoing costs and an oil based synthetics
6:44 am
. it's more expensive. it would take some 7000000000 year rates to scale up recycling to hit 20 percent of textile wasted us by 2013. there isn't enough push from the legislation side to force the investor for you to actually adopt these videos. so not the so you shouldn't require forcing, but if it's going to be more expensive material, if it's a transition with the houses of the supplies that in a nation 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 to stop by 2020 find member countries begin collecting checks don't waste separately just like they do with paper, plastic and dos, which should improve on the $0.22 waste. that's currently separated during proposed
6:45 am
legislation in the u. s. e. u is 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 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 o'clock, we have to have committee that takes and that's where government and private enterprise has a role to apply. in saying that a government protect is very large procures of products. meanwhile, swedish recycling renew, so has phone to buy a private equity investor, alto has full top that companies, remaining assets,
6:46 am
also 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 current consumption backend and cannot continue if you want to move to what is the most sustainable 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 it will production needs to, to reduced the 100000000000 governments. we produce each year, means 14 for every person in the world. if we can't convince function victims to stop buying the body weight, including at least we can ensure that as much as possible of what they purchase is recycled. dealing with waste is the same hodges last
6:47 am
problem across the world that's heads of the southern said to sell mulatto. so what josh center web garbage is being done into something very splish, and it is helping new life boom in a garden, and they are just on demand to solace. it draws visitors from far and wide. the military mountain really is one of india's oldest bossing to the military. heroes 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 father to nicolas are a key source of income. but there are downsides. 16 tons of raised 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 after the festival
6:48 am
of the wiley, i saw a facebook post written by one of my friend stating that they were going to clean the waste through an order by the tourists as another point joined, so i decided to join in la nadia and slowly, many other volunteers joined us to then we started to dream about cleaning up the river that runs to canada. and it was while cleaning the river that we started looking for the place i need to dump the waste to quickly and go corporate long through pot 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 whip garbage is made up mostly of animal and plant waste.
6:49 am
though not made to raise 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. sell it organically with the non organic impurities are removed from the bottom right after position. 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 loss is then shredded uncrowned. the result is high quality for the laser that is bought off by local farmers. 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 $6.00 to $7.00 and our fertilizer is the end because this fertilizer has the smallest growth vasquez's, but it's also the nitrogen phosphorus and production beneficial and its contents, mike to nutrients to and 2nd, to the new trends like magnesium,
6:50 am
sausage and catch. the i'll do is tell the plans to robo, call the 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 us is 2 thirds of its garbage, which waves to stone 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 within the small town, the limited number of people resources and market. because if we can do that, sure, it would definitely be possible in larger towns for that type of menu, advantages or us. perhaps we're probably in lots stone or there are no problems with drugs available. and there's a lot more got the evidence here. so we have to do everything by hand, but it's not that drones were to manage waste like this law that would also be a great success or a little bit more and a lot. it can be a great selection of taurus or again, smoking to the town this your drawn by the famous really and because good nor is
6:51 am
a picture. histone which has got its waste problem under control moving on. so anyways, let's talk about bakshi. as easy is 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 with these are gaining traction, reciting backs. these can be a complex process, but this can be done on the board or checked out a new battery, the slicing launch in hand. in the event of any emergencies. and electric vehicle battery has to be dropped into water as quickly as possible. recycling these 2 safety requirements are enormous. a warehouse like this one has to be flooded with phone within minutes. the batteries are extremely fine level or explosive. that the since we opened, we've been an interesting journey. so it's pretty exciting,
6:52 am
even at the beginning the employer is the 1st company to do recycling could make a huge fortune sense because batteries contain valuable metals, like cobalt and nickel. this slides all we expect 15000000 electric vehicles on german roads by 2030 ones with 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 several meters sick. also spend eclipse with a sensor that would notify us immediately if any substances were to see pinned to 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 year payment. ultimately, our focus is primarily on testing and implementing new technologies and then using
6:53 am
them, we're focused on learning as much as we can to be ready for when the old batteries come out, the high volume suddenly arrives. uh, it always comes in my mind. 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 mass. and the metals it contains the i'm just going on from launch. what our goal is to recover 95 percent of our nichols, which is the most expensive, most valuable or including lumen 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. isn't all we are too dependent on raw materials from certain countries. if the material from the german recycling plant
6:54 am
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 nichol, manganese and cobalt from it, which is used in this form for new batteries. but is the price right? no equation. 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 the for us. so that's when the operations get ramped up, much of the process will be automated. however, the batteries still need to be improved for a high recycling rates. also with car batteries, we can clearly see that the german car manufacturers are now focusing more and more on optimizing product design for a cycling design. so they want to work with us and because they are just as
6:55 am
interested in the raw materials as we are. and also they also want to close the cycling. you often chi stuff. sneezing and high recycling rates, such as for aluminum, have another advantage in the end. they're also good for the climate either toner, meaning every ton of aluminum that we can return to the smelters. for example, we will save 95 percent in energy and therefore c o 2 l 2. these are the real heroes, quasi raw materials compared to raw materials that we get from the minuses, develops the meaning to call. the operators of the recycling plant have invested in 1000000 and seeing 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 that. 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
6:57 am
6:58 am
but where the roosters now animal rights activists, the trans they are dumped in poland or end up in garden in chicken markets for cheap need is the good law causing more problems abroad. in 90 minutes on d w, the likes to come out when you break up gender and identities. how does on mental health impact i love lives? how do we approach money within our relationship? so it is $1.00 of the few sources and can listen to content about sexuality and sexual matters. i'm liza model that and i'm going to be exploring all listen more
6:59 am
in a new season of my thoughts matches available on all platforms, dw, so on fix, all we, in fact, every day the world crashes are your texas to work for free part of our time like because we can take the different w call, the world unpack pulse out on your info is and all the input u v. w story. now on to the, somewhere in the between geneva, the activities to have a whole list stick approach to migration policy. rooted in that respect for human rights. our investigative research shows the reality behind the use refugee was is happening to migraines on the african continent.
