12:37 am
fair. if you. before judging the actions let's take a little trip. we travel to tanzania a country in east africa known for its incredible landscapes unspoiled beaches and
12:38 am
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 longside read and white movie and in the playgrounds children play around red and white the logo is everywhere so off there a while. the good news is that in this country you can still find coke bottles made out of reusable glass but this. what
12:39 am
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 muller about 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
12:40 am
this window. by. the third. is the fix that did it for 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 a lot of plastic we did the calculations that ten bottles a second and that's only on one 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
12:41 am
almost at a complete standstill. because they want to go that extra week apart from plastic other g.b.u. where you are doing it but the trick apart from those who are different you do in terms of prosthetics that sense of us it's good to feel good. about. the aesthetic perhaps but the choice of plastic is essentially unless you glass bottles they are sticky open very time of the book. for me i don't care about the retard i'm only kidding. 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 everyone now take care of their business but stick to the political will to. defend the
12:42 am
cycle. now that our factory visit is finished we can find a show you the wonders of the forgettable tanzania. unfit gettable 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 it's a century old that these. elements of the day and the moment do it isn't it people would like to see interactivity which is happening. individuals are using their
12:43 am
judges through facebook as we speak to another we're interacting with political events and judging it so i took it from the people's seeing the results. in twenty four to you know bloody revolution to correct the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you know lawyer pretty meaningless put video through in the new bill is that i mean you split needle the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. of those who took part in it invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. is
12:44 am
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 half hour south of perth is going to clamber over how to stuff a little cup and to play when you have got off. to go before you know for the best like the mexican you know your milk or. evidentially death sonny is also leaving its mark in tanzania. by working eight hours a day much i can collect up to twenty kilos or bottles at two hundred fifty shillings a keynote that's ten cents. she earns less than two million records and that's on
12:45 am
a good day. for someone who is only going to heaven after money when i buy the reason i asked to get to she did this about a month to the young and that was only to effect in this year because yep i'm in the twelve and i need to sell as a because you bought it but still they are getting there because of money and i need to contact you to see gotta come up. why the price is down in the shape of the buzz in the country and. too much plastic and too many people like mata who collect empty bottles just to scrape by.
12:46 am
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 a. beggar get you might. not a fool gonna get some ice but the joke was that while you come by he's going to. the actual bought new stuff unions or is no pinto it deal with are you only down the road you know the brain does its job with your board and i was it off. you national guard. and so the. they resort to using their bare hands to dig
12:47 am
through other people's waste is genuine but only when you've got an actual well we did to one of us and when i didn't mention an ngo. by asking my name 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 to make it. would all go where it resides. so much joke i know or know much i dread that from doing more than just about the door and out. it's time to clean the windscreen and head elsewhere.
12:48 am
we go to meet the people who dictate the roar 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 to match and filming anything quite like this. a mountain of empty plastic bottles that you have to climb with seventy kilos grams on your head.
12:49 am
at first will almost fascinated by this blue mountain and the incessant coming and going of climbers who was smaller than their loads. but then we took to the. yeah but back it was our. enemy to me who are. enemy number one. and i'm. not going to have it in the sun welcome it's neville court 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
12:50 am
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 tenure that's only the price went down a few months ago the way down the lies not be my tool by this one was told. to sit him back in the least i don't have 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 thing this is because you couldn't sense of time oh yeah so it's. really. in twenty
12:51 am
seventeen china announced that it no longer wanted to be the world's largest rubbish bin and that they would stop porting used plastic from january twentieth. this decision led to the collapse of the recycled plastic market or 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. says. we don't. have

12:57 am
mate yeah if in a fast to. 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. during the length of this film nearly thirteen million bottles of plastic. by the coca-cola group throughout the world.
