6:36 pm
you. 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 so far is in africa.
6:37 pm
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 long side read and white wool 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.
6:38 pm
that is 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.
6:39 pm
recalled occupied by. a. third. of the six thousand three hundred that bought the book but returned in the long haul i've been out of the. 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 a 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 expose it to go way up on plastic other g.b.u.
6:40 pm
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 look good. and. the aesthetic perhaps but the choice of plastic is essentially a money. glass bottles they are thick yolk of a ton of the book. already i don't care about the guitar i only care if bush. 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 in business to see everyone now take care of the business but stick to it so he clicked those plastic it defaults in being respectful. now that our factory visit is finished we can find a show you the wonders of the forgettable tanzania.
6:41 pm
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. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want to be rich. but you do like to be close to see what the books all three of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of college. first sip.
6:42 pm
business if there was a period of sort of the old i suppose it's just bush but if. you're dealing with big deal well to my view it really did it wasn't i go to the. moon isn't is its ability. to get rid of that all you want so it's not that good it would bring an enemy at us that is a liberal still it was god's will that you all know paul. enough well it was pretty good way to lose a room kind of what you stand to which could go on and on with the gun law but i think. near and dear to me you're learning you know did you observe storms in the lead here sort of my look down from moods for better during the clue which are co-creators some are going to be.
6:43 pm

6:44 pm
a half hour south of her going to clamber over healthy stuff well that's a cousin to play when you get off. at school and all too lazy to notice a good enough for a bit like talking about an accident you know your mil i don't have. evidentially death sonny is also leaving its mark in tanzania. by working eight hours a day much i 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. someone is home with them and they are going after money when i buy the reason i asked to help with it or she did this about a month to the young guy that's going to affect him this year because yeah i'm going to albany to sell as a citizen but it would seem they are going to be there because of money and i need

6:48 pm
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 talk to the workers.
6:49 pm
yeah but actually it was our. enemy to me. that night. and i'm. not going to get it in the sound. of your corps technically. 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 billard just buyer of recycled plastic in the world this is the side manager is about to explain to us
6:50 pm
