thank you. if you look good. they do. before judging their actions let's take a little trip. to. meet. we travel to tanzania a country in east africa known for its incredible landscapes unspoiled beaches and the best so far is in africa.
12:37 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 looks alongside reginald white wolf and in the playgrounds children play around red and white the logo is everywhere so off there awhile you will 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 soon be over. the american company is doing in tanzania what it did in the united states 50 years ago. replacing the glass bottles with plastic ones.
12:38 pm
and that is what is going on behind these walls inside one of the 4 coca-cola factories in tanzania. all guide is james muller 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.

12:41 pm
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 1st and foremost a poverty economy. it's seemed wrong. to me. to shape out just because educated and in. equals betrayal.
