1:45 pm
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 get him out. but not a fool gonna order some ice but the joke was that while you come by he's going to. the actual book new stuff unions who are his name tend to and we are yellow and
1:46 pm
down you ought to know the pin does its job but with your board and i was a tough order. you know you're going to. you know. and so they resort to using their batons to dig through other people's waste is genuine but tell me what 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 all you zoned out to us here. 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. so much joke i'm by no means yes or no muff i'd rather that's wrong there are more out there for them of us knowing out.

1:49 pm
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 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 told. to sit in the least about. ready to explode because does not know my kid so what did you do when you couldn't export to china oh i keep
1:50 pm
on buying we buy and we buy but you see. this is because you couldn't sell to china so it's really. 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 20. 3rd to the collapse of the recycled plastic market our 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.
