Is proving problematic. it can be mechanically or chemically recycled. the problem is that the volumes are so small that it doesn't make any sense that the current plastic recycling infrastructure collects and sorts our material out. so for this to really work it needs to be scaled — both to bring the cost down, but also to make sure that these materials are recognised for recycling. the technology is there, though, and hopefully soon when it comes to plastic, we won'tjust have to suck it up. spencer: hmm, and lara assures me that was just water. right, let's turn from packaging now to what ...

8% of all greenhouse gases. we're already beyond the boundaries of what the world can sustain in terms of human population, so we need to be much more efficient in what we do. and jp may have a solution. i'm in finland, just outside helsinki — but i can't tell you where, because this is a super—secret test centre, where they're taking c02 out of the air, and brewing something rather special. oh my gosh! you've gotta see this, this is bubbling. in these vats is a newly discovered species of microbe. the bacteria multiplies very quickly. it feeds on minerals, on c02 from the air and hydrogen...

With the other two—thirds, we need to get much more energy—efficient and if, on top of that, carbon removal technologies can help us along the way, then that's great, but let's not pin our hopes on those technologies alone. producing food is itself not that green. farming contributes more than 8% of all greenhouse gases. we're already beyond the boundaries of what the earth can sustain in terms of human population, so we need to be much more efficient in what we do. and jp may have a solution. i'm in finland, just outside helsinki — but i can't tell you where, because this is a super—s...
