he said that we're all brothers and sisters and we are all in it together but what i would. imagine at the same time is that there are our grievances very wrong on the ground and the christians may not be in a scenario to control them in the foreseeable future the reflection of that was. the coming month we have just salia less than forty eight hours back martin in the last thirty seconds to you. well i generally agree with the neurosis of your of the guest calm nerves are definitely what's required in situations like this it's a great tragedy but we've seen many such tragedies around the world and of course someone can suffer enormously in the past thirty years for this kind of conflict and it's extremely upsetting and. fortunate for them that they're now being dragged dragged into this kind of conflict here frankly both your time and thoughts we've

been speaking to from lancaster university in the u.k. and the independent journalist mark summers. ok colibri will be here ticking through the updates from choose these the big stories in thirty minutes i'll see you soon this is twenty four seven r.t. international. in front of the cameras coca-cola c.e.o. promises a world without waste outside objective. god behind the scenes the american company is doing everything in its power to eschew any alternatives to plastic like the return a bottle i think obviously is shelf. 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 don't love so well. when i live to see. how polite and when welcome.

and affection when you don't know if you want to go through the body it seems we have not yet won that trust. question in a room as a short supply them with every thought well wait a minute back up and say i should push i was wrong. 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 they'll say it often is a long while and that's when it doesn't thanks hop on over we're going to be twenty odd off that goes off by really so our interview is done in french. ok i could have . some dish told. i think gets me.

because they perceived that the south. korean economy secular. a move. to the l u t's. who. would take. their kids out of. a may. day. affair on a. didn't really. appear

from. it. don't plan to be. you didn't read this book and we.

fight back fight back savages. promising. increased recycling and collection targets. if the collect. expand. to do me. a. strategy that would never.

present. their. says. so but. just to collect. the. politicos.

we. just. get to go. in for a deposit system. system new book. on a player is used to mourn them. on national t.v. . says. get to the top value more no pretty. good.

the year of a. good. fair. if you. ever they do to. predict. their. judging their actions let's take a little trip. and forgettable you tend to need. we travel to tanzania

a country in east africa known for its incredible landscapes unspoiled beaches and 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 reginald white walls and in the playgrounds children play around red and white the logo is everywhere so off there awhile you don't want to stop 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.

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. our guide is james muller the manager of the new production line a production line which only makes plastic bottles today that. using bottles a fountain one of the numerous brands inside the coca-cola group. everything is automated and the equipment is brand new the bottles of filth behind

this window. and this dock up by. the. third. is just to get around it but the boat book which is in the lawn mower that. 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. 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 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 defending the roof in terms of prosthetics that don't stop us it's good to look good for. the aesthetic perhaps but the choice of plastic is essentially unless you glass bottles they are strictly open very time of the book. already i don't care about the retard. 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 know take care of the business bus pick to fill the political bus to.

defend being respectful. now that our factory visit is finished we can finally show you the wonders of the unforgettable 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. and . by the twenty first century politics also. saw elements of the tape

and the moment you it isn't a table people would like to see interactive a table which is happening to individuals are using their judges through facebook as we speak to another we're interacting with political events and judging it so i take it from the. seeing the results. and. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on all sides spearing dramatic development only really. i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

is fifty years old and has three children that she is raising by herself just. to feed her family she collects plastic on the beach. but not the best a half hour south of her going to clamber copacetic on to play when you open a. noticeable in the form of the bit like the mexican you know your mil i don't have. evidentially death sonny 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 years and that's on

a good day. limit someone you don't want them in there i mean after morning when i would buy the reason i asked to up we decided this couple of the. only two things affecting this year because yep i'm going to albany to sell as a citizen but it would seem they are going to be there because the money in the new kid on the ships are going to come up. why the price is down from the national that it was 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 dar es salaam the economic capital of the country. every time a truck arrives to unload waste it's the same friends they. are negative about. a bad metaphor gonna come i. was i why you guys going on. the actual new stuff unions originate then what do we i yelled down you know it's going to depend as it's true but with your board and i was a tough order. 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 is genuine

but only when you've got an actual. we determined 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 down 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 only the strongest make it. can all go where it works i don't go out. so much ok i don't buy no me out to god for no money i do write a letter i'm doing more attractive than about no not true if i don't go. it's time to clean the windscreen and head elsewhere.

we go to the people who dictate the door 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 been magine 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 are almost fascinated by this blue mountain and the incessant coming and going of climbers all smaller than their loads. but then we talked to the workers. yeah but it was so. adamant to me. that this was the sound. level course that's likely in. 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 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 tell you about this on the price went down a few months ago the way down the wise saying that be my tool by this time 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 paul i keep on buying we buy and we buy you but you see the montane this is because you couldn't sell to time oh yes so i can relate. 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. to little. bit. we don't. we. even.

see the measure of sun though. it's easy to morrow is on point i care. because. you know as you would expect. they. really. need the misa. sort of plastic. yeah. yeah yeah. see. they do do those he was at the. city north. sea so i supposed to be did

a metal and plastic system going called fail meant a nose will be. distributing and it. only on trendall affair. if it was at the plastic sole. on. the can in the circular economy. business. critical could. i qualify business. gatty.

i don't see. if. there.

good ease on this one depressed if you know small poor korean system a. good skiing day. beauty. no. t.s.a. . will not even play. it. is only more time you do the plastic maze. say no source. no to put a value. in value or appraiser v. v. and.

do sort of plastic it all may on class rican system for you a problem. do you. see supposing me on. this do you really on a on trend. towards a neat he's also going to fail an effort to sue me for a form of in here doesn't know what i mean that's for the terror. doesn't. met home class the members all of the system. the system the. clique you put are you teasing. you.

owns some plastic. you know. some test eek of government as do plastic. that. packs cowboy on. mate yeah days if in a fast to thank you for meth compressor standpoint as you 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 left been sold by the coca-cola group throughout the world.
