4:30 pm
that we had to sign, it was incredibly like, this is sort of driving you with free information, dw made for mind. the, sorry, one second. let me just finish this. hello and welcome. i'm sorry we 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 cops and or shot order use back to back. we can do a lot better. that's find out how upside thing is
4:31 pm
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 waste where it was and to and you know, why did 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, so we're gonna start again. my name's sky special on econ, and i'm jumping the email. i'm gonna found the kasha, we will not wait, index tires and handle and we do a lot of upside. the i was stored by somebody life, i'm going to get an intelligent good find it. well sorry,
4:32 pm
philosophy had also to do something, things with your life. why you're starting passion. it just doesn't want to find data. but fashion for me is we'd be more than just the product that we landed on weight. it talks about where would as a country as well as the world and where we may go to the i would be like, if i said, i only reason, one of the bigger section is i know i want to be so need of some things i wanted to be like on, and we'll sca supply it and i feel it just, i wanted to be in that in all sorts of things. but somewhere along the way i had a book which my father said has the same life and drop it off. i'm connected to the movies and i was i descriptions of one day. well, i'm not good news to my father that i want to be a fashion designer. i'm sorry, the fashion of the okay was standing there like they were talking about recycling, exciting sustainability. so i thought only 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,
4:33 pm
why don't i look 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 people connect me? why not to him? things into the garbage. can the i think this part of starting the business though it is just starting, i like being like, i'm going to just do this. i saw this on like my dad's, but again, then i move to my mom's office. one bought the same thing to leave, to go online to find, to fit in to, for the white house for me to been under space. and we had other issues likely be the only thing council. how would resource everything, how is coming here, all the hiring people, like, how do you find the right person to get on board the
4:34 pm
or if it's not easy, thing was definitely not the photo fashion. a 1000000 fashion makes complete sense. i mean, i would assume that a window was open, it would be somewhere. so from that point of view into, i'm remaining fashion is most vaudeville. it's a little bit on google. so people mix sessions on the producers of fashion. i mean, so to sometimes make them trust you and believe, you know, thanks a lot of time, especially when like a 20 to 22 to one person just got out of college. let's do this on. definitely people who could, you know, we ran, show it to him or just like positive princess on the side of business. i actually got payment. i mean, i was asked to that now. i mean, is it even if it was because i don't even work so high?
4:35 pm
so for me that was one time another let that actually when i one side which i use the but i don't expect different things from the i think accounting locate. gotcha. we're just about making something that's not going to hurt anyone. we don't say it was the state of advice unless what we're doing is we're saying that let's just go, let's lots to say, let's not exploiting with me. let's make positive good for on boarding websites on docs that amy also making it always skimming screenplays. i listen to that last for a long time. the when i say they put it on me thinking and talking about the children's education like that to me is very, very hard for me all when i see them talking, wonder why is now going to walk like that and makes it?
4:36 pm
and i said we're doing something correct when data lies with all these things are so important in pollution the the, the, i think that if we just stop the motion, if he's the job now i need didn't just use was because they were trans. i can also statement it is a bit, a feeling that things have changed quite like, i mean 3 evenings. and these are changing. so why brands like gosh, are changing things up in a 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
4:37 pm
a global compet emissions stem 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 the water, goes into producing okay. it's almost always these and ready to go through heavy, heavy, 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 degree to the industrial. and that's a big problem because we produce a lot of text. i'll waste in the us, tex always has grown 80 percent since the year 2000. rachel keeps even stuck. you
4:38 pm
know, services great. which supports industry and government and reaching sustainability goals. it is our fastest growing waste stream. we send over 30000000000 pounds of tech styles to landfill every year in the us alone, most of our old clothes and in landfill. what does induce, frequently bend, unsold stoke, and donated old closing 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 americans. while you're a big sports, i have a one and a half 1000000000 kilos. much of it to african. often it is dumped bend overloads oceans and waterways. textile waste isn't just old. well, warm toes, it also includes excess stock and the scraps generated during production. less than one percent of this video, there's the spike going today,
4:39 pm
which means all of this is going somewhere. when we collect close, they're primarily going to be sorted for reuse. that's the highest value, so some of those close may be down cycle and so 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 a new 5. it's. it's way back to the landfills, but it also involves a drop in quantity. and it's read that such materials can be recycled again. but that could soon change. there are a bunch of exciting new recycling companies posting new technology and hoping to taylor in 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 caution,
4:40 pm
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, cellulose is turned into clay that us uses in textiles, agriculture and even packaging. the flexibility is intentional. i would never want to be beholden from light outtakes just to one brand. because i know how badly those those brands can be. hi, adrian jones, co founded blog techs in 2018. we prefer text or how 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 locked text recently announced it with expands capacity to $10000.00
4:41 pm
tons a year. refresh, global invalid also emphasizes flexibility to you back to you in a breakdown on sanitized tex dot waste creating 3 role materials. nano settlers eval on spanish highs. tex, phone, pope 3 refresh cables. pub 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. secular settlers,
4:42 pm
which can replace virgin materials like cotton oil would in the production of new high quality textiles. going down to the molecular level, pups 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 90. 5 percent of costs are no purist, meaning a lot of what goes to landfill isn't eligible for new spells recycling comp opened in 2022 with capacity to recycle 60000 tons annually written to expands to 820000. but in february 2020 full came the shock. the company filed for bankruptcy just days before and renew sell told the w. they were recycling fall below capacity . and fashion brands were hesitant to commit to recycle materials. we could be producing a lot more. tricia carries the chief commercial officer, knew so many of the brands have goals,
4:43 pm
search for circularity or reduction traceability waterfalls. uh, you know, variety. so it's, we are a solution to their goals. it's how quickly do they want to be able to achieve those? renew, sell partnered with levi's to recycle production waste and include secretaries and the products h and then became a shareholder in 2017. but still the plant didn't make a profit in its 1st year. it has been something that has shoak. most of us work in us has been a relative fixed task. theresa dominic reset to sustainability management at and t c l universities, existing business models in which most of fashion brands are messed it. they don't really have 40 initiatives 9 renew. so the did really while did to really be able to, to make a while recycling costs reliance on both ongoing costs and an oil based synthetics
4:44 pm
. 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 should, it was forcing, but if it's going to be more expensive material, if it's the transition with the houses of the supplies, the thing is naisha with all the brands 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 legislation usually takes that o d u s. monday is that by 2025 member countries begin collecting text. always separate me just like they do with paper, plastic gonzales, which should improve on the $0.22. waste is currently separated during proposed
4:45 pm
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 innovation around that right now, recycling isn't profitable, stays active, could also set the tone by adopting tockets themselves. the 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, the government, the chicks is very large procures of products. meanwhile, swedish reflects every new cell has phone to buy. a private equity investor, alto, has bought top the companies remaining assets also invested in industries that
4:46 pm
helped 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 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 a little 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 insure that as much as possible of what they purchase is recycled. dealing with waste is the same house as last
4:47 pm
problem across the hill. last heads of the southern said to somebody lot, also what josh center with 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. hills in coming out of the town of good news is a major stuff on the weight. the tourists are very welcome here. in addition to the rolling 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
4:48 pm
of the wiley, i saw a facebook post written by one of my friend stating that they were going to clean the waist, thrown on by the tourists as another point joined, so i decided to join in la nadia slowly. many other volunteers joined us do. then we started to dream about cleaning up the river that runs to 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 profit, the loss of nadia on the some of it. there was no model lance in sight and could nor at that time. so the idea of processing, the waste was born, the volunteer garbage collectors, set up a clean for new organization. they're able to keep the mountain screen for themselves and the visitors. the 1st step was to separate the garbage into dry and which with the wet garbage is made up mostly of animal unplanned twist though not made to base 2 out of the one that we collect. all the lead weighs in
4:49 pm
one place inside the width waves found it from me, then it is shifted to look on veil solid, organically with a non organic impurities are removed from finals. but i opt up of what i is ation and it is then mixed with other vegetables and food waste. allow me a lot for the mix. funny this mix sure then has to dry. during this process, it gets regularly over to the end of the 40 days. the dry moss is then shredded uncrowned. the result is high quality for the laser that is bought out by local summers. the, all the flow of thumb 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 because this fertilizer has the smallest growth vasquez's. but it's also the nitrogen, fos, sort of production machine themselves and its contents, mike the nutrients do. and 2nd, to the nutrients like magnesium,
4:50 pm
sausage and catch you on the phone with all these, tell the plans to robo, call up in 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 its don't into for the lives of an 85 percent of dry waves is recycled . let's roll it over a little bit because we are successfully managing ways and within this small town, the limited number of people resources and market. because a lot, 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 to be able to, to point to here. we have to do everything by hand. but it's not that drones what to manage waste like this lodge 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
4:51 pm
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 batteries of the rising number of electric cars, less types of germany when you, these are gaining traction, reciting back. these can be a complex process, but this can be done on your part or checked out a new battery, the slicing launch you have in the event of any emergencies. and electric vehicle battery has to be dropped into water as quickly as possible when recycling these safety requirements are enormous. a warehouse like this one has to be flooded with foam within minutes. the batteries are extremely flat level or explosive. that since we opened, we've been an interesting journey. it was pretty excited and even at the beginning
4:52 pm
the, i'm sorry i was the 1st company to do recycling could make a huge fortune. that's because batteries contain valuable metals, like cobalt and nickel flights. all we expect 15000000 electric vehicles on german roads by 2030 window. 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. to be seen. yeah, we're standing here and one of the most expensive floors in germany. the implementing safety 1st doesn't necessarily mean saving money. they have these in the floors and absolutely water tight. so we have several meters sick. also stand equipped with a sensor that would notify us immediately if any substances were to sleep into the ground, giving them the batteries delivered, have issues and have been pulled out in the car factories. however, only a few are still coming here to clean it off. most of our focus is primarily on
4:53 pm
testing and implementing new technologies and then using them, we're focused on learning as much as we can to be ready for when the old batteries come out and the high volume suddenly arrives. uh i was coming up i'm, i do have one coming. that high volume will arrive when the batteries of the 1st generation of electric vehicles fail in a few years. then big business will back in with the so called black masks and the metals it contains the existing on from a launch. what our goal is to recover 95 percent of our nichols, which is the most expensive, most valuable or including lumen them and cover. of course, all the world is turning to electric vehicles and the demand for these metals for batteries will grow significantly by recycling them. manufacturers could reduce the need to source them from mines with 4 working conditions present all year to dependent on raw materials from 3rd countries implant,
4:54 pm
not 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 nickel, manganese and cobalt from it, which is used in this form for new batteries. but is the price right now with prices? it's difficult to give exact prices at the moment because the business is still in development and what's more world market price is fluctuate great life. yeah, that makes it difficult to calculate the concept. see the fest. so that's when operations get ramped up, much of the process will be automated. however, the batteries still need to be improved for high recycling rates. with the old with car batteries, we can clearly see that the german car manufacturers are now focusing more and more on optimizing product design for a cycling design. so they want to work with us and because they are just as
4:55 pm
interested in raw materials as we are and the, the wholesale, they also want to close the cycle and you're often chrysler of sneezing. and high recycling rates, such as for aluminum, have another advantage in the end. they're also good for the climate the, the toner menu 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 mines through the balancing needing to come. the operators of the recycling plant have invested 1000000 and see what they believe will be a safe bet. so many better ways to deal with josh. we will do you with the trash in your home in any unique way of doing it. just know you can email us already talked to me directly on my social media handle. i will see you next week until then take care. bye. almost got
