aesthetic perhaps but the choice of plastic is essentially a money. grab who picked up a bit of time of the book. told me i don't care about the guitar i'm only a kid. and. 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 to see everyone know take care of the business bus pick to fill the political bus to go see a difference in the cycle. now that our factory visit is finished we can find and they show you the wonders of the ghetto tanzania. gettable town that only. here are the real results of coca cola's famous recycling business and just by

4:44 pm
when you have gotten a ticket on the last one ball although i didn't notice a good enough for the bit like the mexican you know your mil i don't have. evidentially sonny is also leaving its mark in tanzania. by working 8 hours a day much i can collect up to 20 kilos a bottles at $250.00 shillings a keynote that's $0.10 she earns less than 2 years and that's on a good day. limo so money is only going to hear you after morning when i will buy the reason i asked to up with you to say that this couple of the human mind tied younger than us only 2 for a 2nd this year because yep i'm on the 12 and i need to sell as a citizen but it would seem they are going to be there because the money in the new condo get to sit down that much. why the price is down from the national that it
4:45 pm
was in the country and. too much plastic and too many people like mata who collect empty bottles just to scrape by. to. the witness to the most unsustainable side of this savage recycling economy we head to the longest tape in the land dollar salaam the economic capital of the country. every time a truck arrives to unload waste it's the same frenzy.
4:46 pm
they get your mouth about. bad enough to fill gonna order some ice and that was why i got my he's going to. use up unions who are his and i pinned. down you ought to know that ben does its job but with gordon i was a tough. you know. you know i sure got gasoline. and so they resort to using their batons to dig through other people's waste the genuine but tell me what you got an actual well we do to one of us and when i didn't get on and. biased in my news i am a lawyer 0 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
4:47 pm
business here only the strongest make it. can all go where it resides no doubt. so much ok i'm by no means out to god or know much i'd rather that romney or more doctors didn't know about growing out of i don't go. it's time to train a windscreen and head elsewhere. we go to the people who dictate the war on 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.
4:48 pm
before 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 kilograms on your head. at 1st we are 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.
4:49 pm
yeah but actually it was our. enemy to me. and i. thought this was it in the sand slaughter much less your course that's likely and. 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 a large bag. 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 10 years that's only the
4:50 pm
price when a few months ago the way down the wise saying that be my tool by this time was told . to send them back in the east bank save 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 thing this is because you couldn't sense of time oh yeah so it's accumulates. 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 add to the collapse of the recycled plastic market our precarious business and an economy that rests entirely on the backs of the most vulnerable.
