and we have the solutions, the future, the 77 percent every weekend on dw, the wednesdays off is off night. it's time because we think how we can view how easily we throw things away and how we can still make the most of them before they end up in trash. hello and welcome. i'm solving got the body and your watching. you go into sometimes the challenges and problems around us can get you over to me from what discuss it. the housing crisis, the waste overloads but the office board id, as in our day to day life can really done things around in big cities like that.

even by our culture, the plans are awesome. seeing as symbols of many of here and why life in informal settlements can be really tough. many are also trying to improve their life by actually using waste. next me, these people who are helping people on the margins transform their lives using, screwed up and turning into opportunity and also giving our customers. my grandmother was involved in this profession in the red light district. my aunt consorted and showed i got she got does largest red light district at the edge of 11. that's when my struggling started on getting school. i was training here at the end you for nearly a year. now i have lost the exam. i have moved on from the production in law school to she doesn't want to be recognized. she wants to leave her mode lies behind in the red light district to forgot to. like many other women involved in social programs, she's phone new prospect. at the end you comedy was caught in small workshops the

to an septic scraps, paper waste, or the glass buttons independent products like bags, clothing and home accessories. what was once trash becomes a resource and the foundation of a new life, the at the sheep, when the training, they get to the 2500 ruby stipend product. once they move into production, what, what do their own? 5 to 6000. and basically, the make us a deal of coal got the capital of the indian state of western going producers about 4500000. so please everybody including a lot of fixed. i raced across india, it amounts to around 7800000 tons annually. less than 5 percent is recycled often only in small projects. previously, the chart which i'm using, maybe my brother was using but to the the families smaller. so what happens?

this becomes so west at beautiful this is not the case and the ends, your destiny foundation and reflection includes got down here, board studies, tradition of women's clothing and india. recycled into stylish bags. women who have been rescued from sex trafficking work here, building new lives for themselves. they take pride in their work, saving products from the scrap heap and giving them a new life in the natural one. sorry, we can make at least 5 back south. and if the bags are interested to, we can make 10 to 15, a d y, if they're easier to maybe 3 goats working together to do back to the finish. so that's all the destiny foundation and reflection is more than an engineer. it's a social business with international sales i'm of these sites into is researching

is that the hot or for social business will be to have that reward on 1500 to 2000 . sorry. so your pick out and make 4 to 5000 products, but we have connection with the distributors from yeah, would buy and sell these products in, in euro downloaded, the usa i see. and canada, canada, that's cool. got there is promoting sustainable living with a 0 ways shop women from the cities. informally supplements, walking to local recycling initiatives, gets the prepaid donated close to so the money they owe and go straight to them, providing a steady income for anyone who wants to shop consciously. this is the place to find sustainable clothing at fair prices. so basically, yeah, and right, i know initial my ask you to think or i don't know the re, security volume often go drifting here. recall it, it's great because it's called it's to the, we've gone to him is afford expensive clothes, florida forgot the barn, which option with papa is called god does the largest luncheon originally

designed for 2500 tons of waste o'dee. it's now lucy's or 5000 tons. families with children live in the surrounding areas. children are the focus of the into the news, vocational training society. they wear clothes that their mothers, so from fabric scraps. also learning about how to reduce waste. these children are the faces of the crowded collection, meaning the little ones in been going to this work helps women support the families and fund that children's education. teaching kids early about sustainability is also the goal of an initiative developed by sustainability expert shots on promoter code. it now reaches over $300.00 schools across india. though we, we bought a drink, we must in your mindset in the mission, catch them jo, 0 west then said glory, color mean campus. what is being done in the nation. the school of children are

given the concept of waste management, then setup like on a sucking to economy is also about creating new opportunities, your back of the into destiny foundation and reflection. the women rescued from sex trafficking, assuming bags made from the cycle studies 5000 katie back by johnson county back general 700 hours of employment opportunities at all. and so we are able to talk, i mean, around $1500.00 families lives, $95.00 plus and 95 percent of our beneficiaries except ition. but they called award expectations. the harder you trying to avoid that by any don't live, it was the my landlady faced my mother to work. i saw her grow older and i should continue to work with i decided i needed to get a job and then i got a job here. stuff and i need it for the biggest challenge and now it's been about 10 to 12 years since i lived that area that you know,

my mother is safe. and so am i, i'm watching the germany is mechanical, engineering. 6. the is lot of the biggest in the was exporting machines across continents. but what happens when these machines age or rig down lots. next, some companies, instead of cars asking these machines for fox, are giving them a new lease on life. and this could help in getting emissions in reducing our consumption of resources and in changing and v shaping aqua spectrum on industrial sustainability. so since it's up and running, this machine produces which component is wrapped in plastic. so the main customers of fee on you, the furniture and construction industries,

the family run business and northwest and gemini employees, a $150.00 people. it was found today's a 40 years ago, and some of the machines assaulting to show that age. buying new ones is expensive . so managing direct hotels, piece of printer, mom decided to completely rebuild the old machines. instead, a process. right? trace the thing we decided to go with retrofitting because it offers several advantages to them for what it allows us to integrate custom solution. we can also raise the energy efficiency of an old system to the level of a new one on nor is adding mostly the annoy, a lot of heat in germany. industrial machines typically lost between 15 and 25 kids. and that can change and not time in terms of efficiency and sustainability demand and high energy prices. a currently putting pressure on many businesses

martinez on this machine is about 30 years old on slide. the green paint itself gives way it's a vice dealer. so you can see it has completely inefficient, outdated mode tacitly got to the units are in serious need of an overall got the got the whole machine just as an up to 2 days and then each time the box, right? so it will be completely gutted. you must integrate from the units will be fully refurbish and that people are valuable parts of the machine on the steel framework that will the use, the owner or the read off of in mechanical engineering is one of the most resource intensive industries. it can seems large amounts of metals like steel alam in human pop up. industrial production also uses a lot of energy and water. in 2024 industry accounted for around 44 percent of electricity consumption in germany. the government want to reduce school material usage by one side by 20 such a retro expecting place. an important role in that says whole

mom to me trust. go from the front on whole for institute in portable and he's an ex spots and product development. and digital engineering goals are found. this is most i'm, since you can make it 5 digits. you don't have to go back to the thoughts of your chain, like mining ally in the eyes and answers on funds, or you can reuse materials that have already been posted on what's going on and to give you so. so i'll by to hyphen, i won't even say you doesn't release most c o 2 during production, and you avoid supply issues and the materials that might not be available. and as i said, the sustainability aspects, alona incredibly valuable, that for the b, m. use machines being modernized, just a few kilometers away from that head for, to buy another company machine and come in the line this into the machine to arrive here. the t event worn out and somebody's been invoice for 20 or 30 years on the team. we take out all the cables and the pneumatic system logic that are supposed to help me get you out to the got is us. and then we have the processing unit. see

the specs degrees of the parts that actually handle the materials. this is and here you can see those units are removed, i'm thinking and refurbish off to them up to about people who in the workshop. one of them use old machines this in the middle of a full rebuild. it's already been freshly painted and new. my students components have been replaced, the over hold now hits into the me to phone number 2 right now. we're halfway through the right for 15 process going screwed them on like old b and b machines. it starts down green conflict. we've completely taken into part stripped out all the units of everything and this we're keeping that heavy duty metal structure which is the valuable thoughts and to induct. we've got to buckle the units in that when a workshop being refurbished. once they're ready, now we'll reinstall the open pad you covers and then the machine will run like a machine. the amount is part of a use to machine dealership. it's a global business. so kinsey, max,

the benedict roof machines here in the factory of waiting to be re sold. you put in subjects money mark, would you tell me the market value on the advertising machine globally can? well, once we have a buyer, we handle the export. using machinery is a multi $1000000000.00 industry running off and usually involves overseas shipping . we'd like to asia, missed it so much for in the audience. and that's exactly what this machine is like to be headed to meet the growing demand for equipment and i use is expanding industrial market the to live the only option for residents to get water from done . cuz that's expensive and often not enough. the situation just desperate. the water is going to be used for cooking. it has high level of science. the water is so dirty that our water for just good the water is the squares throughout the indian capital can only meet around 75 percent of its water needs. and most of the water is distributed and fed and some heavy as there is more than enough in other

that is almost nothing up to 30 percent of the voters. last 2 leaks. what does it feel invested? there is no reason why they cannot meet its water supply and provide water to everyone of it. that's good supply level. one way to do that is with improve based water treatment. less than half of that is best water is recycling, and only 18 percent of the water treated actually get to use the flights of the $35.00 centralized treatment plans on dilapidated. and a lot of water goes to race. treating the waste water where it is produced on site could be a solution in some indian estates, decent or life systems, or mandatory in residential and commercial complexes. in google drive, a tech hub on the outskirts of that this upload phase, the 80 percent of the decent their lives systems non functional. one reason is

bored. maintenance. the waste water treatment plant in this residential complex processes 130000 liters of waste water. previously, it was monitored by stuff on site, but no monitoring is largely digital. that's done by w based company digital bonnie. the company uses what's called a plug and play model, which integrity of machines on side of the modern and digital function. we are not trying to infer fully automated, 100 percent this test assets because the costs and the benefit has to also clue for the customers. sylvia of is proposing a hybrid set of operation, very blending in technology, various useful ro saying the company's technical expos explains the benefits of censor based monitoring the of the mega started, the system used to be a kind of the black box and you had to go and investigate if something went wrong, let me know behaviors towards money thing sense of and then the system is clean. we

notified the operator. we also take the amount of water. if water is lost, we can find out there. let me know that the company claims that the system now purifies 20 percent more of water than before. that of water quality is better, and energy consumption has dropped significantly. the treated water is suitable for flushing toilets and watering gardens. there is no need for locus to buy extra water us back and send them to the hot the unauthorized supplement with, as it does have to buy expensive water. that is just $45.00 that is of water available per person per day here. but, but the 1000000 inhabitants a vast amount of best water is generated. here to be centralized water treatment could significantly improve the situation according to what it's in study. only half of the supplements wastewater should be treated in daddy's centralized loan. the other half of so normally hard, which is very dense. it's the but it system. and so mark, this would be connected to the centralized points out sites and them behind in the

for the stadium. and it can be an idea in flu. the created risk, what it could reach out to small lakes and water reservoir is located around. so i'm going to be hot. so recycling go based water wastewater treatment has the most road to play, considering in a climate constrained society. now that a range of all these more extreme groundwater, the judge is not very high according to what he's in the study. if people send a vist water in india, it could be treated and reused. for example, for vacation in the agricultural sector, this would leave much more clean water for drink. most of also look what's left behind after the harvest, rather to stumble on the field or treat. i said you bought for an entrepreneur in

penny. this will cause waste is filled with possibilities. his treasure, but not actually it has to do in some, in the lung. patients like these grow the regions favorite fruit, but not the massive lung patients also produced a great deal of waste. but what used to be burned or done in london has proven to be a winning business entrepreneur funny to not have been making handicrafts from been on the plans for quite some time now to go got a lot of and we produce put onto the product itself but a lot of the harvesting the food come on, we collect the remaining parts of the plot. 11 did remove the out in the non profits for an extraction machine to get the fiber. so i'm trying to get for 2 days when we can store, if i take that out, we use those fibers to make time to grab that exam. yeah, i don't waste the remaining part. so they've gone to the doctor yet. we've got them

in to be able to drive them in the sun and use them to me around totally different items. i would like for those baskets. this pulled up after they have proved to the product. i don't even know if i need to go. wally, when do them get lonely? if the part of the banana tree is useful? don't we categorize it into stages already? ca? this then pulls tavis on the doing thomas thomas sell the fluid to nowadays the but none of these are sold to me, but that doesn't generate much income. although the boy and aliya farmers had a clear idea of their revenue up to 2000 to be or 20 yours, but treat each of us. i mean, you know, going to what to do a little frustrating market prices income has become unpredictable for 12. so we decided to create value added products from both ta, this lucky it is. that's how this initiative began on the essentially adding a load and the money to the beginning. that many people question what i could possibly do with but not by the end of business. that thing when they got somebody

inside the government on it, i says this happened the 1st one that i said, let me look now my successfully running this business. i have proof them wrong that i don't think my so the funding would be my being the one to do and about $15.00 to $20.00 people. i know they are working with us, but then i'm with the program that i own and workers are been and, and our products are now being sold across of india places we are exporting to the 9 i was about for not to go and be a very proud of it, the women here have become independent to upside clean, and then looking forward to growing more, the living in london. sounds like a game, right? but so many this dream is on affordable because it's too expensive, especially when it comes to housing. and on the affordable events, and that is why a lot of people are resorting to creativity and even extreme ways to ensure that there's a room on that head. addison marshall is one such person who is

a designer and can afford to live in central london in the most unusual manner. rims in london are among the highest in europe, having a roof over your head, no matter how small is priceless. i am harrison, i'm a designer living an escape house is going is it even possible to live in a dumpster on 2 and a half square meters without a bathroom or even a toilet? and could you live like that? it seemed to harrison marshall can good. why does he want to? the idea came a few years ago when i was, i was working abroad for a few months, coming back to london, needed to find a new place to live. and as was the cases, thousands of people found the bank was crazy. harrison solution was to move into a dumpster in the middle of london, which he did in january 2022. the lot was provided by an art and architecture

foundation. of course, there are several limitations to take showers. for instance, harrison goes to a local gym towards the a comes phone library kind neva to save the. so you just run a hose that jump save and then hooks up to this top outside, just a very smooth container. so i usually have to fill it out for you once a day, which is not too bad. the extension on top of the dumpster is a wooden construction which space for harrison's bed. the plywood interior paddling makes it surprisingly livable, even cosy. i find it quite comfortable to sleep here. i think the cab roof makes it feel less coughing. like even though it's just more space the there's not like a bulk feeling. i think just because of that, the shape it was, it means i never bang my head. harrison does feel

a bit hard pressed when he has to go to the toilet. it offers all the privacy of a fun, fair port, a potty oversee. one of the big guns is i thought it is outside. it's not the most luxurious part either, but it does the job. on the flip side, harrison lives in the center of london. rent free, he only pays for water and power. the designer bought the dumpster for the equivalent of 1000 euros and then invested another 5000 into converting it originally. harrison had intended to live in the dumpster for no more than a year that turned into to and then into in definitely a background as architecture, design and construction. so i felt like that must be some kind of loophole or some kind of thing that i could do to create somebody comfortable. and as well as that use, use the project as a vehicle to make a commentary on this,

this issue that is affecting so many millions of people, even in harrison lives, in a minimum of space. he's still got room for company and even for dinner with them. do you have ideas of your own for dealing with her and this wrench in europe and other parts of the world? that's it for today is episode. as we saw small steps also make a difference and of course the recycling is a task for governments and industries. but it is also something that you and i can do every day. small steps add up, and together we can work towards lena green a future. do you have any great recycling ideas to share them with us? and also do not forget to follow us? well, not instagram at dw underscored environment for more stories like this. these pencils are saving for us because they're made out of newspapers instead of using treats. the roles are held together with fire based clue, and the pencils are driving the sun instead of events,

which saves energy. the couple who makes them produces around 8000 a day on machines, they designed themselves 5 tons of newspapers equivalent to around 100 trees. last year. the couple of used 7 tons. the idea isn't new. others do it to. it's a colorful way to say for us and educate young people about the importance of sustainability. thank you for watching. i will see you next week until then take care goodbye. now most gosh, the

or the view will tell you who we are happy that we are back to the story.

we have a getting a visa is more difficult than finding gold hosted to use the dream force and for the future in the stories and issues that are being discussed across the country. news africa. in 30 minutes on d. w. it's time for visionary, for sustainability. but also for horsepower the, it's time to the mobo revolution in 90 minutes on dw, the

king was like a stepping point to, you know, i thought you into that warranty wants to finish it. now you have a certificate from crane. you can just go back to somewhere else. come into the more people than ever on the world wide and such repairs are nice. so why do i want to go back tonight? yeah. like, i don't have any reason. there's no reason that's nothing for me that yeah, do me something that is coming very, very soon on. we know when the story in for my renewal, i've only so migraines, wherever they may be, is the most important stuff can be used across different geographies. the real challenge, it's off whose needs to be an incredibly scarce way. what the heck us looming business is real

media and lots, just green washing. what's now on the discovery stories change your mind just to click away, find out best documentary on you to see the world, the subscribe. now to dw talking entry, the the business dw news lie from balance. the conflicts between israel and iran shows no signs of messing up. israel launch is a fresh wave of attacks on the right after to run flies and missiles are these very

poor types of hyphens injuring 23 people. this as the conflict interest is 2nd week runs, foreign minister says his government is ready to consider diplomacy as long as the aggression stopped. comment comes after talks with senior european diplomats in geneva, attacking ties and security along its border with around.
