for a social justice. at the spectrum of human dignity and so on but if you look at what is going on in egypt right now most of the people have the feeling that. it was even better. to do you know they don't feel any i mean your vision or their situation. in front of the cameras coca-cola c.e.o. promise is a world without waste that's our 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 the shelf. after months of negotiations with the american multinational we have a meeting at the headquarters of coca-cola france for an interview but. it's

a message they don't love so well. when i live to see. how polite and when welcome . in the public and we don't know if you want to go for them but it seems we have not yet won that trust. question in a room as a short little call to move every thought well wait a minute echo picks the option for shelter on. the vice president of the company michael goldsman has travelled from the united states to on so all questions will he has worked for coca-cola for twenty one years he's in charge of global policy and environmental sustainability and he's a french speaker. and we'll see after the last one is that we do that on tax cuts on a week very be twenty odd cars off i will so all interview is done in french . cook i could have. some dish told.

i think gets me to what they are. because they perceive that. the crane economy circular. is a. b l u u t's. who. would take. their kid a. may. day. affair on a. didn't really. only take it it.

was a. stick with you could sit . those objectives. appear from. it. don't plan to be. on the. look in on we.

don't. really fight back fight back savages. promising. increased recycling and collection targets. if the collect. the dead to do me says. strategy a good nova. is

a. good. please don't. say yes. they're. easy. call. them all. says. so but. the collect.

the. politicos. we. donate. for a deposit system. system new book. is used to mourn and.

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 read and white movie and in the playgrounds children play around red and white the logo is everywhere.

the good news is that in this country you can still find coke bottles made out of reusable glass but this. 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 poor 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. and the code occupied by. the third. is the fact that rather than bought the book but were to launch a well i've been. told that. 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 in the young 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 that way apart from plastic g.b.u. while you are doing it but the three apart from those two are different you do in terms of prosthetics that don't stop us it's good to feel good. and. the aesthetic perhaps but the choice of plastic is essentially unless you glass bottles they are sticky hope of a good time of the book. but for me i don't care about the retard. only cares if. 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 every two hours now take care of the business bus pick to talk equally plausible but. then being respectful. now that our factory visit is finished we can find they show you the wonders of the forgettable tanzania. unforgettable 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. when you look at true. sprawl between the last kovi i left you to me

it's clear that this treaty is coming to a. wall because of the lack of interest. wolf slides all thing in washington was. donald trump second state of the union address was conspicuously light when it came to foreign policy why use is was his aim to avoid disappointing his base while at the same time wishing not to spar with the deep state what are these mixed signals all about is an elaborate strategy for an indication of indecisive. 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 the best to have the car to go to clamber over healthy stuff a little cotton to play in the afternoon or. go before dinner for the bit like the mexican you know your mil i don't have. evidentially sunny is also leaving its mark in tanzania. by working eight hours a day can collect up to twenty kilos or 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 get to say that this. was only affecting this year because yep i'm on the twelve and i need to sell as it is but it would seem they are getting their bit of the money there. and i keep trying to get to got a clue. why the price is down the lesser of the device in a country. 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 longest 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 friends they. were negative about. bad enough to fill gonna get some ice that was a white guy he's going to. the actual new stuff unions who are his and i penned our deal with our yeoman down you know what you know the brain does its job but with your board and i was it tough. you know you're going to. bury you national guard gasoline. and so they resort to using their batons to dig through other people's waste be genuine but only when you've got an actual. we determine honest and down or when i didn't and you then and you know what i'm i am of them biased in my news imo you zero down to us here. at h.

the model mu 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 only the strongest to make it. all go where it resides don't go out. the next door because i'm by no yard for no mouth i drive there were probably are more than just about the door and out. it's time to clean the windscreen and head elsewhere. we go to the people who dictate them nor on 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 imagined 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 well almost fascinated by this blue mountain and the incessant coming and going of climbers all smaller than their loads.

but then we took it to the workers. yeah but actually it was that. getting to me you are. enemy number one. and i'm. not going to have it in the sun. 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 for collectors it's only surprise when a few months ago the way down the wise saying that be my tool by this time we strolled. in september in the east. ready to explode because 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 the money saved you this is because you couldn't sense of time oh yes 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 in porting used plastic from january

twenty eighth in this decision 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. so that it will pick up because it messed up a you told me. it says. that. there's a downside and we don't really get that if. we have a fake us because if you. are. says the measure.

you know as you would expect. the misa. list. yeah. yeah yeah. see. the dude he was at the. city north. to. see. them going called fail meant a nose will be. deceived. only

on trundle affair. sticks all told. us. that the economy circular economy. ticket good. business. too. no. easy. day.

and dark. day on talk of clay. and on this. if. you're involved in the race out there. don't. act. as wonder christopher.

know. he's a. is only more time you do the. same. no to put a value. in value or appraiser v. v. it. doesn't. pass your own do sort of plus take it all may on class rican system for you

a problem is. this do you really do. on. this on a on trend multiple dead on tolls i need. it to suit me for we for all of in here don't know what i mean don't plaster the terror. class.

of government to do plastic. packs cowboy and. mate. if in a fast. 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 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. by the coca-cola group throughout the world.

to. the egyptian people. to have another political system that. justice. respect for human dignity and so on but if you look at what is going on. and in egypt and i know most of the people have the feeling that. it was even better during. mubarak could you know they don't speak hindi i mean your vision of the situation. but rather stand and hear from us and. move from one house.

that are our right trevor and our brothers across i thought before for them to carry that out. i'm going to let them but i don't question let me cut them and keep an eye on what i have floozie jonathan truffle that it. won't work then i'm all in my machine little subtle. mind the. members of the hey how you want to do it. and get this whole food place choice the i knew you didn't pay i think time in syria said. he she ought to have a. model for that in africa will fuck around with mr hates it for jim and then oil for hope that our freedom in the course. of the money.

was. very. good indeed. headline news too late for the united states have discussions with venezuela. and revokes the president with. iran's foreign minister exclusively tells.
