10:38 pm
the best so far is 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 hoops alongside red and white wool and in the playgrounds children play around red and white the logo is everywhere so off there a while you was stopped noticing it. 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
10:39 pm
the american company is doing in tanzania what it did in the united states fifty years ago replacing the glass bottles with plastic ones. that's what is going on behind these walls inside one of the four coca-cola factories and zinnia. 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 found one of the numerous brands inside the coca-cola group. everything is automated and the equipment is brand new the bottles of filth behind

10:41 pm
at a complete standstill. because they want to go the extra week apart from plastic allowed to be you while you are doing it but the trick apart from those who are different you do in terms of plus add to that the top us it's good to look good for. the aesthetic perhaps but the choice of plastic is essentially unless you glass bottles sticky open very time of the book. already i don't care about the guitar. only cared for sure. 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 the business of everyone now. i think as the business perspective so he clicked both of us to go see
10:42 pm
a difference in the cycle. now that our factory visit is finished we can finally show you the wonders of the tanzania. unforgettable tanzania. 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. you know world of big part of the lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bad and shouting
10:43 pm
past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. skies are financial survival. when customers go buy your do something. good now well reduce and lower. that's undercutting not what's good for food market it's not good for the global economy. is fifty years old and has three children that she. is raising by herself still.
10:44 pm
to feed her family she collects plastic on the beach. but not the best to have the car going to clamber over how to sell for a little cup and to play when you have gotten off the last one ball or two i didn't notice a good enough for the bit like them about an accident you know your mil i don't know. evidentially sunny is also leaving its mark in tanzania. by working eight hours a day can collect up to twenty kilos of bottles at two hundred fifty shillings a keynote that's ten cents she earns less than two year olds and that's on a good day.
10:45 pm
to miss someone you don't want them in there i mean after morning when i would buy the reason i asked to get to she did this couple of acumen to my tired young guy that was only two effecting this year because yep i'm going to albany to show as a citizen but it would seem they are going to be there because the money and i need to conduct this are going to come up. why the price is down the national average of us in the 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 tape in the land dollars the economic capital of the country.
10:46 pm
every time a truck arrives to unload waste it's the same friends they. are going to get you know about. bad enough to fill gonna get some ice and that was why i got my he's going to. lose stuff unions who are his and i pinned. down you ought to know that ben does his job but with gordon i was a tough. you know joe you know. they got gasoline. and so they resort to using their batons to dig through other people's waste you genuine but tell me what you got an actual. we did to one of us and when i didn't get in and you know i'm biased in my native i am all of you. to us here.
10:47 pm
at h. the model moon has already spent two years rifling through waste in search of plastic that's more than enough to know that there is only one moved to the recycling business here only the strongest to make it. can all go where it resides don't doubt. so much else i don't buy it no more know much. more attractive than about no not at all. it's time to train the windscreen and head elsewhere. go to the people who dictate the war on the new market for recycled plastic.
10:48 pm
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. before coming here we never would have been madge and filming anything quite like this. a mountain of empty plastic bottles that you have to climb with seventy eight kilograms on your head. at first we're almost fascinated by that blue mountain and the incessant coming and
10:49 pm
going of climbers all smaller than their loads. but then we took it to the workers. yeah but actually it was our. enemy to make. anything. and i'm. not going to get it in the sand lot of it's neville court that's looking at it for. 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 large bags these bottles then go through these machines to be. pieces before they can be recycled. and.
10:50 pm
until very recently the company exported this plastic to china the largest buyer of recycled plastic in the world this is why the side manager is about to explain to us. yesterday when i was working and asking to collectors it's only surprise when a few months ago they laid down the wise saying that the night tool by this time was told. in september in the east they ready to explode because does not know if you know my kid so what did you do when you couldn't export to china all the people would buy and we buy you that you see the money thing this is because you couldn't sell to china so it accumulates. 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 twentieth
10:51 pm
. this decision add to the collapse of the recycled plastic market our precarious business and an economy that rests entirely on the bats at the most vulnerable. back at the coca-cola headquarters we speak to michael goldsman the vice president of the company again. true it will take it because the rest of the year or not twenty more i don't see it will create. there's no doubt does that mean we don't. we to see if it was even. since the measure your son. is used to

to plastic. packs cowboy and. mate. if in a fast a don't. trust them pointers yeah i collect them all 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 will suffice during the length of this film nearly thirteen million bottles of plastic been sold by the coca-cola group throughout the world.
10:58 pm
actually manually. and that there isn't on the machine and not. can if you had a way that was an ok if that. was not going to match the man a little bit like the battle they have made for the last three of a garage that i don't know that i'd be able to. hang with them or that having. given the people. who give the newly married couple what the how they were not
