Decided to take matters into her own hand along with her Business Partner but. First 3 to 4 months we literally came with. Anybody to do with plastics and then realize plastic is a fossil fuel. After months of research and failed experiments with the help of scientists friends the dew adopted a technology that converts all kinds of Plastic Waste into a high grade food that is Environment Friendly and has a high combustion well. With production costs of about 24. 00 litter thats about pretense of for you this you can be used as a few hours without any need for further processing. When your bond is the cell for outboard is much much less than the diesel that is allowed. To sell for content is around 80 ppm while with us is point 17. 00 ppm so emission rises much more clean the view. Is that easy to use to meet people where they state that. Is recent. Local wall and the organizations like this group of residents from 34 communities are important and do this fight against plastic pollution we go to societies we talk to the people we tell them the ill effects of plastic and how that is recycling in an Environment Friendly manner and because we have been doing it from 2016 it is now become easy for us to convince societies and people in that.

Not only is it sold at a cost of about 40. 00 rupees or about half where you are. The companys it also reaches people like reading. The.

Fumes from plastic raised this recycling process could perhaps be implemented worldwide. If it could be made to function. By news in india and other countries are still working on it. Now many countries around the world simply dont know what to do with the monumental amount of Plastic Waste. The u. S. And countries in europe for example have been exporting their Plastic Waste to china for years but ever since china stopped buying this waste and 20 the market has moved elsewhere. Plastics plastic and more plastic and the stocks are only getting higher recycling companies in germany have been pushed to their nimitz in recent years. Have been tortured history we didnt have enough Processing Capacity in germany the volumes involved and the production costs were just too high for huge quantities of Plastic Waste are shipped abroad as a result around half of the worlds Plastic Waste used to be sent to china to be processed there in 2018 china stopped accepting as other countries have filled the gap.

But not all Plastic Waste is as pure as it should be manufacturers arent careful enough or they just want to make some fast cash those are the criminals. Thats a done deal we know. Some companies are already working on alternatives to exports in plastics a chip maker and recycling company at an Environmental Institute have joined forces to build a recycling ship it will anchor in 7 african countries and buy Plastic Waste from the collectors on the land to be recycled right there on board the vessel. Lots of people make a living from selling garbage like here in sierra leone they could make 5 times more money by selling it to the recycling ship on one condition the plastic is preselected interesting go varieties around 60 4000. 00 tons of Plastic Waste could be recycled here every year. Because of the call home and of course on lot of them we need a big plant to process plastics in a profitable way to an artist and none of these countries has the means to build one that big we think well be able to buy our own 10000000. 00 euros worth of plastic every year as if its the middle of the. And when you think it takes 10000 euros of revenue to create a full time job in these countries then we could create 1000 jobs in the region drops you know your machine.

The doctor thought it would be hard mean a rare views beaked whale that was found stranded in shallow waters. Every attempt to herd it back to the open sea failed the whale was weekend emaciated and eventually had to be euthanized.

On the shore here comes from britain or big ships many of the bags and bottles have disintegrated into bits and pieces for the plastic collectors its a never ending task. That thermally the deeper you dig the more you turn up its pretty frustrating after this experience ill be even more careful about using plastic and ill make sure that i dispose of it properly. With a cell phone. Even the snacks the volunteers have brought along are sealed in plastic avoiding plastic entirely isnt easy. But if you. Got a lot of thought. We want to put pressure on industry in the government to look for alternatives to the use of plastic but for me personally id like to keep on catching lobster here in the sea at my doorstep and id like my kids to be able to do that too which i. Got barlow and also. Just 4 hours of work at 5 trash bags filled with plastic. That home room ago sir posts what theyve achieved on the internet the site keeps track of every section of coastline the Collection Team cleans up given the length of noise coastline thats a herculean task. But meanwhile every Political Party in the country supports the initiative. The view is. The studies have shown that for every quarter or euro the state spends on supporting the volunteer effort it gets 10 times that value back in return 1st because of the clean up work itself but also because of the weight boost environmental awareness and social solidarity model that. We want to go and other activists have had a plaque set up at the place where this environment. The initiative began in memory of the whale that came to such a painful end here and then log on with a stomach full of plastic you brought us the message about what is happening to the oceans thank you for waking us up with. A wake up call thats intended to be heard far beyond the coast of norway. Now in most cities around india fresh and hot food is delivered at your doorstep at the click of a button while this is immensely convenient what many of us dont calculate is the amount of plastic used in packaging this food and how easily it becomes trash once the food is consumed some Food Delivery Companies in the country are trying to teach this. Bangalore is one of indias biggest cities and lies at the center of the countrys id industry. People here often work long hours with no time to cook or eat out. Some end up ordering food on line for every single meal. And for almost. Food for. Communion so if you know the plastic containers experience you cant really be. Scavengers also live well on the leftovers the cultural food delivery has drastically impacted amounts of garbage in the city they have doubled in just 2 years. Across india Delivery Companies process around 40000000. 00 food orders every month producing a staggering 22000. 00 tons of single use Plastic Waste. With new government bans on plastics the dealers are now switching to alternatives like banana leaves paper and aluminum although many say that those materials our friend in practical are simply not Cost Effective. To go to many of my newness and maybe use aluminum containers like these but they dont really hold the gravy. By so meals and thus the cost around 50. 00 rupees thats around half a euro. I can put bread and a spoon where am i supposed to put the curry the lentils and the chutney the things that make it worth the price. That is some you know Show Companies switching over from using plastic. Biodegradable materials because of specialists but its something that we feel is required and said be done. And done and no doubt owns one of the oldest ice cream parlors in the city and his product has its own delivery issues packaging ice cream is a nightmare budget out has been experimenting with a Cost Effective alternative based on a biodegradable by product of the sugar industry the guts. Its been quite significant i think. Over the course of these 4 months that we started using both of us at 60 to 70 percent of the consumption has come down. It seems the idea city bangalore is on track to finding Innovative Solutions in different fields in the Digital Space and also in the deal would. A 1000000 plastic bottles are bought around the world every minute the demand is driven by an apparently insatiable desire for bottled water and the spread of a western on the go culture a German Company is offering the solution. By making the usable glass bottles fashionable. Tap water is one of the safest things you can drink in germany get more and more people are buying bottled water. Its just water there is no better. Is the c. E. O. Of seoul bottles a startup in berlin that produces glass bottles that you can refill. His mission is to stop people using plastic bottles. So you take the bottles for them but those are the things. So we can have them out of transportation emissions and we make them come up to 80 percent of recycled materials. The caps are made with rubber and metal by the packaging used for shipping the bottles is partially obtained from recycled paper. The company has so far sold more than 700000 bottles. Part of the Purchase Price is donated to water initiatives with the goal of improving Drinking Water supplies in developing countries like nepal and uganda. This includes drilling water wells providing hand pumps and teaching local communities how to use and maintain them water is the most purchased beverage in germany 65 percent of people drink bottled water every single day but this is something completely unnecessary. Most of the Water Bottles generally found in supermarkets are made of plastic. Its completely irrational to have plastic that we use for such. Short period of time and then throw away and it just adds up to giant piles of waste the problem is that plastic usually down cycles because plastic decreases in quality the more time to recycle it and obviously this process also uses up better so its not a 0 sum game reusing is better than recycling. With more and more countries taking steps towards banning Single Use Plastics glass could experience a revival. But theres a downside a lot of energy is needed to produce glass and as it is heavier than plastic its transportation is less energy efficient. Over can say the plastic could be substituted entirety of a glass but theres a lot of things that we can think. Just get away from single news thats every ridiculous thing. Sold bottles is capitalizing on the latest green trend. Refillable drinking bottle definitely is kind of the new handbag we want to make it cool and sexy and fun to drink tap water so the package is important yet for us the kind of like the bottle is a very strong messenger for our mission and their impact. But a soul bottle comes with a hefty price tag a small 1. 00 sells for more than 20 euros several times more expensive than similar glass bottles the reason for the price is that weve really tried to guarantee as much as possible a fair supply chain so for example we can compensate all our Carbon Emissions because they are strictly and then pay if we can offset those emissions. This elegant glass bottle might not be an affordable option for everyone but tap water tastes even better when drunk with a clear conscience from a glass bottle. Im sure you remember that heart breaking image of a plastic stroll being removed from the nostril of a sea turtle a few years back the entire planet is having to feed for rampant and indiscriminate use of plastics i hope you will be mindful of this the next time your isnt disposable plastic boxes or when your waste is not segregated correctly well be back next week with yet another informative episode until the.
