indecisive. in front of the cameras coca-cola c.e.o. promises a world without waste outside objective. but behind the scenes the american company is doing everything in its power to eschew any alternatives to plastic like the return bottle i think obviously. after months of negotiations with the american multinational we have a meeting at the headquarters of coca-cola france for an interview. it's a message i've been off so well. when i did it to see. how polite and welcome. and of evolution we don't know if you want to go through the body it seems we have not yet won that trust. question in the room was

a short clip of the mood everything fell on my way back up to say i should close i was on. the vice president of the company michael goldsman has traveled from the united states to on so all questions will he has worked for coca-cola for twenty one ms he's in charge of global policy and environmental sustainability and he's a french speaker. male see nothing wrong was that we knew that on tax cuts on over we going to be twenty odd years off i read so interview is done in french. book i could ask. some of their say on doing it told it's going to fall six opposed human behavior. i think gets me to what they all plastic sucks so long. because they perceive it. i'm all this ball. don't. go.

crazy in economy secular don't. move. the l u u t's. who are sickly. to take. their kid out of. may. day. affair on a. set . objective. to perform.

it. don't plan to be. on the move don't get. on the. look in on we. was up early. fight back fight back savages. promising.

their. whole economy. says. so but. the collect. the politicos would read. it was over. we.

yeah. for a deposit system. the new book. says. you. know pretty.

fair. if you. fair. before judging the actions let's take a little trip. we traveled to tanzania a country in east africa known for its incredible landscapes. and. 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 who looks alongside red and white walls and in the playgrounds children play around red and white the logo is everywhere so offer 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 all soon be over. for the american company is doing in tanzania what it did in the united states

fifty years ago replacing the glass bottles with plastic ones. and that is 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 filled behind this window.

decode occupied by. the. third. down didn't put the book a book or two in the lawn well i've been. in eighty six thousand three hundred and forty bottles in two and a half hours that a lot of plastic we did the calculations that ten bottles a second and that's in the oh mom production line in one of the factories in the country. and five years ago this factory only fabricated glass bottles but on the day of our visit the production line for glass bottles is almost at a complete standstill. because there was

a scale to take the week apart from plastic g.b.u. while you are doing it but the prick apart from those who are different move into so flustered to set himself up that's good to look good to. the aesthetic perhaps but the choice of plastic is essentially unless you glass bottle to kill a bit of time of the book. told me i don't care about the guitar i only care if bush. what al a guy does 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 myth of the everyone now take care of the business prospect to the political will to. defend being respectful. now the trial fact revisit. finished we can finally show you the

wonders of the tanzania. unforgettable time that only. here are the real results of coca-cola is famous recycling business and just by looking at the waste collectors we were told about it's clear that the recycling business is fast and foremost a potty economy. join me every thursday on the alex salmond shill and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see that.

country has gone into a nihilistic theme. hit the road and get out the traveling across america to find what makes america the charlatans the genius of the quintessential american hero this is it we only point about how much alan what he's done since we always are on the bridge just a. small donald sterling's party. we're starting last with is to begin to headed east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the beach i think i want to leave now doesn't get any more ground zero of this it may be completely different by the end of this. when you look at truth. it's clear. about this treaty this coming to a. lawyer because of

a lack of interest. both sides all in washington was. is fifty years old and has three children that she is raising by herself. to feed her family she collects plastic on the beach. but now the best i have a cartoon on the clumber copacetic on the player in the upper or. lower noticeable in the form of the bit like talking about an accident you know your mil i don't know if. evidentially sunny is also leaving its mark in tanzania.

by working eight hours a day much i can collect up to twenty kilos a 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. for. someone you don't want them in there i mean after morning when i would buy the reason i asked to help with it or she did this about a killing that's going to affect him this year because the outcome of the twelve i need to sell is a decision but it would seem they are getting there because of money and i need to conduct to sit down that much. why the price is down in the shape of the deposit on content. 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 dar es salaam the economic capital of the country. every time a truck arrives to unload waste it's the same frenzy. they get your mouth. about not a fool gonna get some ice that was a white guy he's going to. the actual new south korean in zurich and i pinned.

down you know it's going to depend as to what was your board and i was it tough for . you national guard gasoline. and so they resort to using their batons to dig through other people's waste the genuine but only when you've got an actual. we determine honest and down know what i did and then get on and go work on my own of them by asking money if i am a lawyer zero to us here. 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 move to the recycling business here alone need the strongest make it. can all go where it works i don't go out. so much ok i don't buy it no me out the door no matter where they went wrong there is more out there for them about no not through effort.

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. before coming here we never would have been magine filming anything quite like this . a mountain of empty plastic bottles that you have to

climb with seventy kilo grams on your head. at first we are almost fascinated by this blue mountain and the incessant coming and going of climbers all smaller than their loads. but then we talk to the workers. yeah but i was saying. that in the semi. of the. local candidates in the sound. of your call. 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 the side manager is about to explain to us. yesterday when i was working and asking to collectors tell you about this on the price went down a few months ago they laid down the wise saying that be my tool by this time i was told. to get them back in the east i don't think they ready to explode because does not you know my kid so what did you do when you couldn't export to china all

the people we buy and we buy you that you see the money paid to this is because you couldn't sense of time oh yes 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 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. true little.

that doesn't. mean we don't. we. say the measure. is used to morrow is on point i care. because. you know as you would expect. they. really. need the misa. sort of plastic office work. yeah. yeah yeah. there are

sheriffs who see. they do it was at the. city north. sea i supposed to be did a metal and plastic system going called fail meant a nose will be. disabled. only on trundle affair. if it was at the sticks all. connected. in the case that the economy circular robot economy. business. critical could. i qualify business. gatty.

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

good ease on this one to peace to feel small for korean system a. good. day so it's only beauty. t.s.a. . it . is only more time you do the plastic maze new video same source.

note a valuable tool. in valor an appraiser v. . v. . and. do sort of plastic it all may on class rican system for you a problem is. this do you. suppose jamie on. this do you really on a own trend. and eat. it too soon maybe for a four in your doesn't know what i mean that's for the terror.

doesn't. that home class the members all of the system. here the system the. clique you put are you teasing. you. own some plastic. you know. some plastic. why do government do plastic. the cost of a packed cowboy on. mate. if in a fast you don't simple stock you format compressors temperature 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 succulent 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 well it's been sold by the coca-cola group throughout the world. you know if i said sadly that oh and we recognize nancy pelosi as the president united states that we're not going to talk with donald trump the world of you know outraged but of course the u.s. has a stereo exceptionalism and that no law applies to them and so they can do whatever they want but by the central banks buying gold as they are they are now coming to

the conclusion that america has lost its mind and then when they run out of gold to buy i guarantee you they're going to start messing around in that one market. will only have i think it is later. on. actually i know right. and again there's another machine i'm not. going and you can weigh up all of them ok if there. was not a master plan a little bit less about today i wait for the last day of a garage that it will be. the one that having.
