you. know pretty. good. you're a. kid. if you. predict. before judging the actions let's take a little trip. we

travel to tanzania a country in east africa known for its incredible landscapes unspoiled beaches and the best safaris in africa. however what this promotional film does not specify is that tanzania is also the incredible land of coca-cola. here everyone waits for red and white buses longside reginald white wolf and in the playgrounds children play around red and white the logo is everywhere so off. the good news is that in this country you can still find coke bottles made out of reusable glass but this will soon be over.

what the american company is doing in tanzania what it did in the united states fifty years ago replacing the glass bottles with plastic ones. guts what is going on behind these walls inside one of the four coca-cola factories in tanzania. all guide is james mother the manager of the new production line a production line which only makes plastic bottles today they're producing bottles of phantom one of the numerous brands inside the coca-cola group.

everything is automated and the equipment is brand new the bottles of filled behind this window. that i got by. there. is the fix that three hundred in the book but returned in the long haul i've been out of the. eighty six thousand three hundred and forty bottles in two and a half hours that's a lot of plastic we did the calculations that ten bottles a second and that's only on mom production line in one of the factories in the country. five years ago this factory only fabricated glass

bottles but on the day. evolve visit the production line for glass bottles is almost at a complete standstill. because they want to go the extra week apart from plastic other g.b.u. where you are doing it but the trick apart from those two are differently roof in terms of specific set themself us it's good to look good for. the aesthetic perhaps but the choice of plastic is essentially unless you glass bottles they are sticky open very time of the book got colorful move along care about the guitar. only cares if course. what our guide is trying to say is that plastic doesn't seem to be a problem for the environment in tanzania so it's come back to business to see everyone now take care of the business perspective so he clicked all those plastic

it defaults in being respectful. now that our factory visit is finished we can finally show you the wonders of the forgettable tanzania. unfit gettable town that only. here are the real results of coca cola's famous recycling business and just by looking at the waste collectors we were told about it's clear that the recycling business is first and foremost a poverty economy. just .

countries gone into a nihilistic fever just want to thank you and they got to hit the road and get out the traveling across america to find what makes america the charlatans the geniuses this is the quintessential american hero this is it we've come to a point around which ultimate is going to suffer we always are on the margins someone called donald culture is really boring the american jobs. we're starting last with is going to head east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the beast i think i want to leave now doesn't get any more ground zero

than the me may be completely different but the end of this journey. is fifty years old and has three children that she is raising by herself just. to feed her family she connects plastic on the beach. but the best to have a car going to clamber over copacetic on the subway when you're on a day or so. to go before dinner for the bit like the mexican night your mil i don't know. evidentially death sunny

is also leaving its mark intends. by working eight hours a day much i can collect up to twenty kilos of bottles at two hundred fifty shillings a keynote that's ten cents she earns less than two million records and that's on a good day. to someone you know more than they're going after money when i buy the reason i asked to help with it or she did this for about a month tried to get us going to for a second this year because yeah i'm a twelve and i need to share as a student but it would seem they are getting there because of money and i need to find a good cigar that much. why the price is down to the national average of us in a country and. too much plastic and too many people like mata who collect empty bottles just to scrape by.

to bear witness to the most unsustainable side of this savage recycling economy we head to the largest ship in the land dar es salaam the economic capital of the country. every time a truck arrives to unload waste it's the same friends a. beggar get you might. not the full gonna get some ice but the joke was that while you guys going to. hear george bush. sufyan in zurich and i pinned.

down you know what you know the brain does its job but with your board and i was it . you know. and so they resort to using their batons to dig through other people's waste. but only when you've got an actual well we did to one of us and when i didn't mention an ngo. by asking my name is. zero to us here. at h. the model moon has already spent two years rifling through waste in such a plastic that's more than enough to know that there is only one move to the recycling business here i'll need the strongest to make it. but i'll go where it resides. the next joke i buy is no more no less i'd rather that's wrong there are

more out there for them of us no not at all. it's time to clean the windscreen and head elsewhere. we go to meet the people who dictate the neuron the new market for recycled plastic . we find them in the suburbs of dar es salaam. these are the companies who buy plastic bottles this one is the largest in the country. people coming here we never would have been match and filming anything quite like

this. a mountain of empty plastic bottles that you have to climb with seventy kilograms on your head. at first we're almost fascinated by this blue mountain and the incessant coming and going of climbers all smaller than their loads. but then we took to the. yeah but actually it was an. enemy to me. you know. that i'm not doing that. and i'm. not going to have that in the

sound of. course that's next. at the foot of the mountain these workers begin their final sorting session they put the colored bottles and plastic bags to one side. they put the clear bottles into launch bags these bottles then go through these machines to be reduced to small pieces before they can be recycled. and. until very recently the company exported this plastic to china the largest buyer of recycled plastic in the world this is what the side manager is about to explain to us. yesterday when i was working and asking for collectors ten years it's only the price went down a few months ago the way down the wise saying that the night to buy this one we still. didn't get them back in the least it's

a radically. nick. does not know if you know my kid so what did you do when you couldn't export to china oh i keep on buying we buy and we buy you but you see all these days this is because you couldn't sense of time oh yeah so it's really it's. in twenty seventeen china announced that it no longer wanted to be the world's largest rubbish bin and that they would stop importing used plastic from january twenty eighth. this decision led to the collapse of the recycled plastic market our precarious business and an economy that rests entirely on the backs of the most vulnerable. back at the coca-cola headquarters we speak to michael goldsman the vice president of the company again. little ticket because it messed up the year.

that says. we don't. have a fake us because if you. are. no. you know as you would expect this. day. the misa. list. yeah. yeah yeah.

see. they do do those he was at the. city north to. see. them going called fail meant a nose will be. deceived. only on trundle a fair. case that the economy circular economy. business. good. business.

too. i don't see. if. there.

good ease on this one depressed if you know small poor korean system a. good. day. beauty. tease a. is only more time you do the plastic maze. say no source.

no to put a value. in valor appraiser v. v. and. do sort of plastic it all may on class or jewelry can system for you a problem. do you. suppose on. this do you really on a. multiple day and eat. it too soon maybe for a for the new year doesn't know. that's for the terror.

yeah. mate. if in a fast. court the more with coca-cola you can still taste the feeling in plastic bottles zero waste does not mean zero plastic and the promise of a circular economy is very far away to conclude our investigation

a single statistic. during the length of this film nearly thirteen million bottles of plastic being sold by the coca-cola group throughout the world. every thursday. show. politics sports business i'm show business i'll see that. as a presidential candidate donald trump lambaste. in america's endless and wasteful wars

but as president q. surrounded himself with individuals who have made defending ended dancing american empire a full time career why did trump cave and what could be the consequences for him and just present. a different people. with agonist mubarak will have another political system that's. more of a social justice more rule and a spectrum of human dignity and so on but if you look close to what is going on in egypt right now most of the people have the feeling that. it was even better.

mubarak could you know they don't speak any i mean you edition of the situation. is right to stand. on what i saw. that i know there are a lot of trouble rather across i thought the four orthodontic yes. i'm going to let them but i don't touch and then you cut and kick and. i don't think is a channel for all that it. was then i was on the show a little. and lot of. them best. it's

whole full plate choice where you go on the i knew you didn't pay i think time in syria has said. pretty she ought to have a. model for the name after the whole fuck around mr hates it for jim and then lawyer i hope that our friend in the course. of the money. the. world powers gather in washington d.c. seeking a joint strategy to wipe all its islamic states from promises not the goal will be achieved. some time probably next week that we will have.
