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 red and white wool 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 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.

while you are doing it but the trick apart from those who are different to you in terms of prosthetics that don't stop 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 off of a time of the book got better for me i don't care about the guitar i only care if bush or. 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 that everyone now take as their business prospected so he clicked both of us to a difference in the cycle. now that our factory visit is finished we can finally show you the one does that the forgettable tanzania.

gettable town that only. here are the real results of coca-cola spraying this 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. chose seemed wrong. just. to. get to shape out just to become educated and engaged with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.

mexican united more or less. evidentially death sunny is also leaving its mark in tanzania and. by working 8 hours a day much i can collect up to 20 keenness of bottles at $250.00 shillings a keynote that's $0.10 she earns less than $2000000.00 records and that's on a good day. to miss someone you don't want them and they're not going after money i want to buy the reason i asked to get to she did this about a month to the young guy that was going to affect in israel cause yeah i'm going to albany to sell as a citizen but it would seem they are getting there because of money and i need to conduct to see government. why the price is down the national that it wasn't
1:45 am
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 largest ship 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
1:46 am
get him out. but not the full gonna get some ice to. as a white guy he's going to. lose up the unions who are his and i pinned. down you know it's you know the ben does his job but with gordon i was a tough. you know. and so they resort to using their batons to dig through other people's waste. but tell me what you got an actual. would you tell one of us and when i didn't get on and you know i am of i'm biased and mine is. 00 yac. at h. the model moon has already spent 2 years rifling through waste in such a plastic that's more than enough to know that there is only one move to the recycling business here i don't need the strongest to make it. could all go where
1:47 am
it resides. the next joke i buy is no more no less i'd rather that from there it's more out there for them of us no not at all. it's time to clean the windscreen and head elsewhere. we go to meet the people who dictate the neuron the new market for recycled plastic . we find them in the suburbs of paris and. these are the companies who buy plastic bottles this one is the largest in the country.
1:48 am
people. coming here we never would have imagined filming anything quite like this. a mountain of empty plastic bottles that you have to climb with 70 kilograms on your head. at 1st we're almost fascinated by this blue mountain and the incessant coming and going of climbers all smaller than their loads. but then we took to the. yeah but actually it was an. enemy to me. that i'm
1:49 am
not going back. and i'm. not going to get it in the sand. 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 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 what 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 if you also go down the wise saying that the night to buy this
1:50 am
flight was told. to stay. in the east bank ready to explode because does not know if you know my kid so what did you do when you couldn't export to china all that keep on buying we buy and we buy you but you see the money thing this is because you couldn't sell to china so i can relate. in 2017 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 20th. 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.

taste the feeling in plastic bottles 0 waste does not mean 0 plastic and the promise of a succulent economy is very far away to conclude our investigation a single statistic will suffice during the length of this film nearly 13000000 bottles of plastic left been sold by the coca-cola group throughout the world. my 7 years doing drugs my nephew's was doing drugs my sister just with doing drugs it was like an epidemic of drug abuse america's public enemy number one in the
