vast there. before judging the actions let's take a little trip. unforgettable. 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 the incredible land or. coca-cola.

here everyone waits for red and white buses who along side reginald white wolves 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 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'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 filled behind this window. recalled ok bye. did.

they just sit down did it put the book 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 on 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 all visit the production line for glass bottles is almost at a complete standstill. because they want to go the extra week apart from plastic g.b.u. while you are doing it but the fridge apart from those who are defending your move into so flustered to get that done so far so good to feel good. about. the

aesthetic perhaps but the choice of plastic is essentially unless you glass bottle to kill the very time of the book. but for me i don't care about the guitar. only cares if. what alan 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 know take care of the business but stick to the political will to go see a difference in being the cycle. now that our factory visit is finished we can find they show you the one does that the tanzania. own forgettable 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 fast and foremost a poverty economy. you know world big partisan movie 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 back and shouting past each other that 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. when

lawmakers manufacture consent to instant to the public well. when the ruling class is protect themselves. when the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. going all middle of the room sick. i mean real news room. during the great depression which are all mr remember there was and most of the family were unemployed working class and it wasn't it was bed you know much worse objective listen today but there was an expectation that things were going to get better. there was

a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america was shaped by the turn principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduced democracy attack solo down engineer elections manufacture consent and other principles according to no i'm comiskey one set of rules for the rich opposite. that's what happens when you put her into the. narrow sector of will switch rule is dedicated to increasing power for chills just as you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america. 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 i have heard in a club or how. to play when you are. put in a little bit. about an accident you know your mil. evidentially sunny is also leaving its mark in tanzania. by working eight hours a day much i can collect up to twenty kilos the bottles at two hundred fifty shillings a keno that's ten cents she earns less than two year it is and that's on a good day.

someone is only going to hear you after morning one of the parties are going to ask to up with you to say to this couple of acumen and i tried to get and i don't like to connecting is your cause yep i'm of the twelve and i need to sell it as a because you bought it but they are going to be there because the money and i need to conduct it's are gonna come up. why the price is down to less sure of the buzz 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 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 frenzy. they get your mouth. about not a fool gonna order some ice but the joke was that while you come by he's going to. the actual bar loose up unions who are his and i pinned. down you know it's going to depend as to what was your board when i was it off. you know you're going to. bury you national guard. and so they resort to using their batons to dig through other people's waste be genuine but tell me what you got on the. well

we did one of us and when i didn't get an ngo. the money is. 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 moved to the recycling business here only the strongest make it. would all go where it resides all about. the next joke i'm buying. or know a little rough. more than just about the door and out. it's time to clean the windscreen and head elsewhere. we go to meet the people who dictate the 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. people 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 kilos grams on your head.

at first we're almost fascinated by this blue mountain and the incessant coming and going of climbers all smooth and then loads. but then we took to the. yeah but back here was that. enemy to me. you know. enemy number one. and i'm. not going to have it in the sun throughout the middle of your court that's not the limit for me . 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 tell me about this on the price went down a few months ago the way down the wise saying that the night to buy this one was told. in september in the east bank owned slaves 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 again this is because you couldn't sell to china yet so it accumulates. in twenty seventeen china announced that it no long. wanted to be the world's largest

rubbish bin and that they would stop porting 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. we.

see measure. you know as you would expect. me. yeah. yeah yeah. see. they do. see. them going called fairmont and.

trundle affair. sticks all. connected. in the circular robot economy. critical. to business. too.

i don't see. if. there.

good ease on this one too close to feel small for korean system a. good ski day. tease a. small school and not even play. and yet it. is only more time you do the plastic maze. say no source. no to put a value. in drive there appraiser v. v. and.

do sort of plastic it all may on class rican system for you a problem. do you. suppose any on on i think all of us. on a. multiple dead and eat. it too soon may for we fall of in here doesn't know. that's for the terror. doesn't. class the members all of the system. clique you put are you teasing. you.

plastic. you know. sometimes take over why do government ties do plastic. so that a lamp acts calgon. mate yeah days of the if in a fast a dog simple sock you full metal presses just empennage i collect the money 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 will have been sold by the coca-cola group throughout the world.
