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 safari 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 in the playgrounds children play around red and white the logo is everywhere so off there
9:36 pm
a while you almost 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 all 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. and that is what is going on behind these walls inside one of the 4 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

9:39 pm
plastic doesn't seem to be a problem for the environment in tanzania so it's come back to the myth of everyone now. take care of 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 tanzania. unforgettable time that we 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. we
9:40 pm
have the expectation that when we lifted people out of poverty when we became richer then we'd become. and i think valerie's what a lot of people ah struggling with now they expected that once they reached a certain level of income then they would be happy. and yet we create new size we create new things we want and i think sometimes we run out of explanations for why we feel unhappy. as we speak large organize care of a bar on the march to the united states. then 70 and a player coming advocating. that.

9:45 pm
to bear witness to the most unsustainable side of this savage recycling economy we head to the largest 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 they. are going to get you out about. but not the we're gonna get some ice and that was why i got my he's going to. new stuff unions who are tonight then deal

9:48 pm
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 smaller than their loads. but then we talk to the workers. yeah but actually it was our. enemy to make. anything. else was in the sand so i think it's neville court that's looking at it for. at the foot
9:49 pm
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 launch pads 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 10 years it's only the price when a few months ago the way down the wise saying that be my tool by this flight was told. to get them back in the east bank ready to explode because
