[000:00:00;00] the sorry, one second, 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 the, the comp and or shot or the use factory. but we can do a lot better. that's find out how upside thing is

a key concept. like when we think of of slices clothing, we don't really single, anything too fancy. so today let's meet a woman who's done this motion on. it said she is a fashion designer who's making waves where it was and to and you know, wide web is actually generates more than 90. 2000000 tons of fixed. i waste each year. ideas like this could really make a difference. meaning sky, such tiny cod and um okay. i do understand again, my name's kind of special on yukon and i'm from india. i'm the founder of the gotcha. we work in northridge, index guys, and handle, and we do a lot of upside doing in the was stored by someone in lifetime, use it as an intelligent good winded, well sorry, philosophy at oxford and do something. things were doing life while starting

fashion and just doesn't want to deal with passion for me is we'd be more than just the product that we landed on the way it talks about where we're at as a country, as well as the world and where we may go to i would say like if i said, i always wanted to be a session designer. i wanted to be so needed. some things i wanted to be like and was sca supply it and i feel 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. i'm connected to the lease and i was i, descriptions of what they will. i'm not convinced to 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?

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 restored. why continue? 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 say, and then leave to go to a larger 5 division. took the wife out for me to another space. we had other issues likely be the only thing council. how would resource everything, how is coming here? all of it also hiding people like how do you find the right person to get on board

the if there's one easy thing was a destination. luckily, another photo fashion seen in fashion makes complete sense. i mean, even assumes that a window is open and would be somewhere. so from that point of view into, i'm remaining fashion is, looks bottle. if it go down, you will. some people who mix that are the producers of fashion. i mean, so sometimes all make them just do and believe you think so a bit of time, especially when you're like a 20 to 22. the only person does. yeah. let's do this on. definitely people who could, you know, we ran the show you're doing call or just like positive princess on the side. think no business. i actually got paintings. i mean, i was asked to that now. i mean something even if it was because i don't even want

to hi. so for me that was one time. and i love that actually. when i, once i would tell you people, i would expect different things from the i think the tone english is akasha. we're just about making something that's not going to hurt anyone. we don't say it was sustainable side, so less what we're doing is we're saying that let's just say, let's not to say, let's not explain and let's make photo sound good for downloading netflix products that any after making it always get on screen plays. 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 make c n i said we're doing something

correct. when did allies with all these things are so important in pollution the i think that if we just stop the motion, if he's the job now i need didn't just it was was because there were times i got this thing that it is a big feeling bad thing such as quite like, i mean the reasoning maybe such a wide brands like osh while changing things up, you know, great way it's wednesday is a lot more than the fuss of small labels to address the problem of 6. i was only one percent of the 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 gas visas of the fashion industry. roughly 10 percent of

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 lease . that's 4 percent of global fresh water usage, unload and water goes into producing all case, almost always diesel, 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 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 textile waste. in the us, tex always has grown 80 percent since the year 2000. rachel keeps even set 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 on soul stone can donated old closing a 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 so the 600000000 key, those have used clothing 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 alternates 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 material. there's 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 um some of those plus maybe 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 a new 5. it's, it's way back to the non pills, 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 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 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. patriot and jones, co founded blog techs in 2018 we prefer long takes 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 is, is preoccupied with making more. textiles look, takes recently announced it would expand capacity to $10000.00 tons a year,

refresh global invalid, and also emphasizes flexibility to bacteria breakdown on sanitize textile waste. creating 3 role materials. nano settlers f an o and sanitize textile 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 is shredded into a slurry, separated from contaminants and dried into sheets of what they call secular circular settlers,

which can replace the 2 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 so says it's sec you. those can be cycles 7 times. there are limits, the new cell can know you recycle waste. this 95 percent of costs are no pure, meaning a lot of what goes to a 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,

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 secretaries and their products h and then became a shareholder in 2017. but still the punk 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 and t c l universities, existing business models in which most of fashion brands are master. they don't really have 40 initiatives 9 renew. so the did really while the degree 80 to be able to make it while recycling costs reliance on both the hungry cos and an oil based and statics,

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 inductor for you to actually adopt these videos. so not the so you should require 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 that they decided and across the board. it really does is a function of information, so have them having access to everything which is not easily done until legislastion usually takes it on the u. s. monday to stop by 2025 member countries begin collecting checks don't waste separately just like they do with paper, plastic dos, which should improve on the $0.22 waste. that's currently separated during proposed

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, stays active groups. so set the tone by adopting targets themselves, but us to be successful. as a result of that, 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, the ticket is very large procures of products. meanwhile, swedish reflects every new cell has phone to buy. a private equity investor also has boats up the company's remaining assets. also invest in industries that help to

reduce comp and 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 tex dollar recycling, there's still more to be done. recycling is only one part of the problem of a current consumption backend of 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 that. it's just a lot of the debated on that. bottom line is that it will production needs to, to reduce the 100000000000 governments. we produce each, it means volt teams that every person in the world, if we couldn'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 this sam hodges last problem across the hill that's had to the southern say to somebody loud. also what josh center with garbage is being done into something very useful and it is helping new life noon in a garden and they are just on demand to establish it trust visitors from far and wide. the middle agree mountain really is one of india's oldest bossing to the military. his income and not all the town of good news is a major stuff on the wait, the tourists are very welcome here. in addition to the ruling t plantations, the holidaymakers 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 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 an olive oil joined on, 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 canada. and it was while cleaning the river that we started looking for a place i need to dump the waste 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. though not made to base 2 out of the one that we collect. all the lead weighs in

one place inside the width waves found it from me, then it is shifted to work on veil solid, organically with a non organic impurities are removed from finals, but i have to apologize zation on it is then mixed with other vegetables and food waste allow me a lot for the mix. funny. this mix showed then has to dry. during this process, it gets regularly over to the end of the 40 days. the dry mouth is been shredded and crowned. 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, start all the flowers. why we need to be its value of $6.00 to $7.00 and our fertilizer. the because this fertilizer has the smallest grilled vegetables because it's also the nitrogen, phosphorus, and production. beneficial kind of contents, mike the nutrients to and 2nd, to the nutrients like magnesium, sausage and catch the phone. all these 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. good news now for recess is 2 thirds of its garbage, which weighs histone into for the life of an 85 percent of dry ways is recycled? are in the to the over a little bit because we are successfully managing ways. and within this small town, the limited number of people, resources and market as well. if we can do that. sure. it would definitely be possible in larger towns or 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 in here. so we have to do everything by hand. but it's not that drones what to manage waste 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

a picture. histone which has got its waste problem under control moving on. so anyways, let's talk about matching as easy is or electric vehicles, staples, there is one big question. what happens to the use back to the use of the rising number of electric cars, less types of germany when 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 can handle in the event of an emergency. and electric vehicle battery has to be dropped into water as quickly as possible. when recycling these, the safety requirements are enormous. a warehouse like this one has to be flooded with foam within minutes. the batteries are extremely fine level or explosive. that since we open, we've been an interesting journey. so it's pretty exciting,

even at the beginning the employer is the 1st company to do recycling could make a huge fortune fence because batteries contain valuable metals, like cobalt and nickel flights. all we expect to 15000000 electric vehicles on german roads by 2031. 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 are open to 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 stand equipped 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 here to clean it off more, our focus is primarily on 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. the high volume suddenly arrives. uh, it always comes in uh i'll find much of what 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 4 working conditions. isn't all we are too dependent on raw materials from certain countries?

if the material from the 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 nichol, manganese and cobalt from it, which is used in this form for new batteries. but is the price, right? you know, equations, 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 line that makes it difficult to calculate difficult to assess. 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 ultimate 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

interested in the raw materials as we are. and also they also want to close the cycling. you often cry 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, meaning of 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 via 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 in 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 that. just know you can email us already talked to me directly on my social media handles. i will see you next week until then take care bye. almost got

the whole that's left is the grave. and then slide buried, manuel saw that it was the path to his wife and children. he calls it st. but the catastrophe was caused by bloss for a new highway a chinese construction projects in columbia. with no regard for the last 30 minutes on d w. co, africa. how do you get young people thinking about wasting public spaces?

what is the game taps where they particular requests to clean up the environment in a way that is the logical for them. grab the young people's attention, check, pass on environmental awareness. check. this is the mission of green quest. in 90 minutes on d w, the really used to be 1st page researchers and scientists all over the world for you know, race against time. they are peers and rivals with one daring goals to help smart nature. the

more like watching on youtube dw documentary, the 35 years of to the full of november 9th. this presidential election coverage for 24 on dfw. the address of the pivotal issue is the 2nd po fees. asking the questions of metal 2 motors and latino, the other fast, this growing demographic group in the united states. but historically that voter turnout has been so which interest will motivate us to vote? the air and most of those are important for both candidates,

especially when states like michigan to how we would expect the outcome national election to us presidential election, 2024 watts, the whole coverage on the basis dw, and is alive from ballot and pulls of open on the east coast of the united states election day dawns with americans choosing between cala harris and donald trump. tens of millions of americans costing that balance in georgia and north carolina and all the best around states that could decide if donald trump is returned to the white house or it's kind of the harris is elevated to the oval office. the
