see on the. 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 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 red and white wool and
6:37 am
in the playgrounds children play around red and white the logo is everywhere so offer a while you was stopped 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. for the american company is doing in tanzania what it did in the united states 50 years ago replacing the glass bottles with plastic ones. and guts what is going on behind these walls inside one of the 4 coca-cola factories and zinnia.

6:39 am
$86340.00 bottles in 2 and a half hours that a lot of plastic we did the calculations that 10 bottles a 2nd and that's in the on mom production line in one of the factories in the country. 5 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 way apart from plastic g.b.u. while you are doing it but the trick apart from those who are defending the roof in terms of positive that turns up us it's good to look good to. the aesthetic perhaps but the choice of plastic is essentially unless you glass bottle to kill the very time of the book. but really i don't care about the guitar.
6:40 am
only good record of. 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 the business of everyone now. i think as the business perspective the political will to. defend the cycle. now the child factory visit is finished we can finally show you the wonders of the unforgettable tensing up. there unforgettable town the need. 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. when
6:41 am
lawmakers manufactured sentenced him to public wealth. when the ruling classes project themselves. with the famous merry go round listen to the one percent. nothing to ignore middle of the room sick. diluting the real news. to me. as we speak large organized caravan are on the march to the united states.

6:45 am
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 frenzy. they get your mouth. about not
6:46 am
a fool gonna order some ice was that while you come by he's going to. loose up unions or is no pinto or do we are you. going to depend as to what was your board and i was a tough one to. you not sure. and so they resort to using their batons to dig through other people's waste. but only when you've got an actual well we did you're one of us and when i didn't get on and go work on my arm of a bias in my news i am a lawyer 00. at h. the model moon has already spent 2 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. could all go where it resides.
6:47 am
the next joke i know or know a little rough around the are more attractive than him about the door and out. 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 dar es salaam. these are the companies who buy plastic bottles this one is the largest in the country.
6:48 am
and. people 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 70 kilo grams on your head. at 1st we're almost fascinated by this blue mountain and the incessant coming and going of climbers all smooth and then loads. but then we took to the. yeah but back here was that. enemy to me. you know. enemy number one. and i'm. not going to
6:49 am
have it in the sun looking at neville cork that's not the limit for me. at the foot of the mountain these workers begin their final sorting session they put the college bottles and plastic bags to one side. they put the clear bottles 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 the side manager is about to explain to us. yesterday when i was working and asking for collectors it's only the price went down a few months ago the way down the wise saying that the night to buy this one was
6:50 am
told. in september in the istanbul lives 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 paid. this is because you couldn't sell to china so i can really it's. 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 28th. this decision led to the collapse at 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
6:51 am

6:57 am
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 13000000 bottles of plastic been sold by the coca-cola group throughout the world. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going foundation let it be an arms race and it is on the off and spearing dramatic development only to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very
