  • By 2050, there will be more plastic in our oceans than marine life. And plastic has a notoriously long life in landfills. We meet entrepreneurs discovering new ways to retrieve plastic from our waterways, turning it into fuel or back into plastic again. Others look to reduce single-use plastic in our daily lives, by working on alternative materials.
    Food waste does not seem to make sense in a world where so many are hungry, but it’s a major problem. And food in landfills releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas. We meet the people trying to divert food from landfills in New Zealand and Singapore by repurposing it for human consumption, animal feed and now even biofuel.
    We also meet entrepreneurs in the USA and Europe going a step further to avoid producing food from animals completely. They’re developing cultivated meat, now on sale in Singapore. Is this the food of the future?
    Part 2 of Climate For Change: Closing The Loop: • A World Without Waste:...
    ========
    About the show: Waste is generated on an epic scale. Unless we go ‘circular,’ it's game over for the planet. How can waste from one industry become another’s resource? And how do we unlock the economic benefits?

      @@ernstschafer6092 This is just a lazy excuse for covenience. For the world to address climate change, people need to recognise that it is crucial to live in a sustainable way immediately. If we don't change in time, we doom ourselves and our children to live in a very harsh climate in the future. It is not difficult to see that weather event is increasingly more severe. But no scientist can ascertain the rate of change of climate with good accuracy. This is a big issue and I believe it is the primary reason for inaction. Climate science is far from perfect but its projection of a warmer world with severe climate condition is accurate.

      Sorry had to jump in here, plastic is not consumed and a lot of it is recycled just not enough mainly the fault of recycling not being able to take that type of plastic or some other obstacles and getting it to that point as in transport or people putting it in the right bins etc. As for fossil fuel in the air not for most of the world the planet is 70% water so we have 30% left over that we live on. 0.8% of that left over that's farming, mining, etc all in that 0.8% is where we live etc, so fossil fuel really isn't an issue, the issue is getting companies moving on making things renewable, Al Gore is making a killing out of this climate change BS and i say BS because it is at first it was a hole in the Ozone then Global warming now it is Climate change, sorry it if this is climate change bring it on, just in case no one has noticed winter is hanging around longer at least in Australia it is it like a month longer and it is colder, but i have noticed in Canada it is colder too where as in Russia it is warmer some are saying it is a tilt movement and that would explain a few things like the loss of a kilometre of perma ice in Antarctica on the opposite side to the Australian side but then our side gained 4 kilometres of perma ice. And cancer well they cure cancer in cattle, so what is more plausible they find a cure for cattle and not humans or they keep us sick make loads of money off us employing millions and you notice they are still asking for money we have been giving to cancer research since 1864 or something, what s more plausible, and if you think our governments aren't like that look at china ageing economy all of a sudden a new virus, affects the old the worst, oh where did it come from ??? come on lets be real.

      It's true that recycling plastic to create other disposable products (cups, plates, etc.) is not worth it and that it is a lot better to use the algae type of biodegradable plastic instead. Otherwise, to use properly the plastic that we already have in our dumps, it is possible to recycle plastic and transform it into long-term construction products such as bricks, plastic wood, windows, and paving bricks. These are products that use plastic to build houses, schools, buildings, streets, etc., and not just simple recycled cups (disposable things). In this case, houses and entire schools are already being built using this simple and efficient technology in Asia (Thailand), Africa (Ivory Coast, Kenya, and Nigeria), and Latin America (Colombia, Bolivia, and Mexico). Colombia is the country with more expertise and advanced companies in this area. In Ivory Coast, for example, there is no garbage collection process, so people dispose of plastic waste in the open land. So, the Colombian company Conceptos Plasticos is producing together with UNICEF schools and homes in this country. Plastic bricks made with recycled material are more resistant than conventional bricks. More resistant also than concrete brick. In addition, it does not absorb water and moisture and is simply treated to withstand excessive heat. Look on social networks for the page of the Colombian company Conceptos Plasticos. And if you can, there's a video from the Business Insider channel on YT called How To Make Bricks From Plastic Trash. It shows these projects in action. And also the BBC Earth Lab channel video called These Recycled Plastic Bricks Are Stronger Than Concrete and How A Ghanaian Man Is Building Affordable Homes With Waste Plastics.

    I am up for everything except cultivated meat. All my life as adult I have always saved leftover vegetables or picked chicken or turkey off bones after meal not used put in freezer containers to make several quarts of soup which costed me nothing. Stale bread or rolls ground up into crumbs put in freezer for casserole and or diced up with garlic butter and herbs for croutons. Frugality is a must and saves money and waste. Veg skins or ends of vegetables wash and put in freezer to boil later and strain for stock. Pizza jars remove labels make great storage jars for pasta etc. Just sharing a few things. Thank you. One more observation. The hometown butcher is a thing of the past. Used to go and get cut what you need. Now are huge packages of meats unless you freeze or meat goes bad in stores. Just reflecting on years past. FYI I’m 62 years old but grew up on farm around canning fruits and vegetables and livestock. Clothes that weren’t too good had buttons and zipper removed put in sewing kit and squares cut for quilts, curtains with added trims, pillow cases or other things that could be used from all sorts of fabric remnants..

    NZ's segment showed a reuse economy based on and perpetuated by the need to be WASTEFUL on bread. Just imagine the carbon/energy footprint of a can of "beer from bread". Focusing on the over production of bread should be the first priority instead of requiring wastefulness of perfectly edible food to sustain a reuse economy. It should only be a stop gap process while working on reducing/eliminating bread waste. It is a feel good experiment but does not address the root cause. The mad dash to reduce the unit cost of any products is the culprit of overproduction, overconsumption and wastefulness?!

    Food is the most essential thing in life. Most people don't think about it because they have access to food on a regular basis. But if we think about this deeply, we will realize that everything we do is so that eventually we can get food on the table. Money is just a way to pay for food. If the work we do will never lead us to food, nobody would do the work. So, all wars are fought due to the lack of food, the need for future food, or to protect the food source such as land, oil, water, etc. So, if you can solve food problems, you will have peace. And food problems can be solved simply by cultivating the existing land, which most countries have lots of. Spend time, energy, and technology on cultivating the land and you will have so much abundance for all mankind.

    The sad thing is - single use paper products are often far less "environmentally friendly" than lightweight plastic (transport and processing "costs" alone).

    Wait a minute... to not waste left-over bread by making it into beer IS good for the environment. But how is exporting that beer good? That's a lot of miles for one can or bottle. Which might itself not be recyclable. Isn't that shooting oneself in the (other) foot?
    How about just selling the left-over bread at the end of the day and the beginning of the next day for half price? That's what supermarkets in Germany do and there is never any left-over bread not sold that way. Bakeries have their favorite charities collect their share of left-overs. Supermarkets do the same with other not sold items like vegetables and dairy. We eat it up.

    • @skymeisterkai7589
      @skymeisterkai7589 2 роки тому +2

      That's one of the biggest issue with these companies and their 'policies'. They just throw away food just like that. I love how Germany does it with the half price promotion. Im sure many will choose to buy it at a much lower price point which ultimately reduce waste collection. Although the beer idea is great, but it creates an extra problem. More packaging used, more resources used to produce beer. Instead of producing another product, why cant we just end waste at the point it is supposed to be consumed?

      @Duskyberry 2 роки тому

      20 years ago we (NZ) used to discount the bread a few hours before the supermarket closed and this worked well. However because poor families were waiting for this mark down everyday instead of paying full price our bread makers decided it is better for them financially to send it to landfill and pig farmers. Our supermarkets don't discount dated products any more for this reason. It's pure greed.

    This is absolutely the answer to the end of all plastic pollution and land fills and if one really wants to speed up the process put a deposit return on all types of plastics. And wow it's like money laying all.over the place. You are the man dude .also you could put up Barrier walls along the highway systems to prevent trash from going to far out and have a road convoy pick it up and send the materials to be processed and it would stop so much wildlife from being killed .

      Daft bugger...affectionately meant, LOL can't you see that this is promotional material for the Singapore and New Zealand government? They take money from basic health care, sanitation and education, and give it to innovators that talk big about little insignificant impractical unrealistic technological comfort virtue signalling. Wind power in Europe is toted as a great success - but it has nothing to do with reducing consumption. In fact the economics and subsidies only work if everyone keeps on consuming more energy! But then again - it obviously works as propaganda. If all the subscribers pledged to only buy what they need, eat what they buy, compost the waste themselves - stop buying any kind of 'convenient' lunch over the counter - that would be a good start at making change. Isn't going to happen is it. This is a circular argument in a circular video - it just comes back to the same consumption convenience.

    I hold my hands up. I waste a lot of food. Before I can pack away new food, I sometimes have to chuck away the previous. So, I stop shopping. Until my fridge is empty, I won't shop. I still have a freeze freezer and pantry that last a while. Not shopping took a while because I like shopping but I like saving money even more.
    I think everyone has a responsibility to do their bit. No one or two organisations can ever remedy the situation. We all need to get involved.
