00:00I asked you in the last session to summarize your relationship with her in one word.
00:07Can you do that?
00:11Doctor, it was very difficult to find one word to describe our relationship.
00:15But if there is a word, it will be that it was a plastic relationship.
00:20Do you mean that it was cheap?
00:22No, not cheap.
00:25But you can say that it was easy to break.
00:28But be careful that plastic is not easy to break.
00:31It is not hard to break, but it is very fragile.
00:34I mean that it was weak.
00:37It can't withstand pressure.
00:38But Mahmoud, plastic can withstand pressure.
00:41Doctor, you are misunderstanding.
00:43It is a plastic relationship.
00:45It dissolves quickly.
00:47On the contrary, Saeed.
00:49The problem with plastic is that it dissolves quickly.
00:52I don't mean the real plastic.
00:54I mean a plastic relationship.
00:57It is cold.
00:58There is no heat.
01:00If you say that plastic can withstand heat, I swear to God that I will throw myself out of the window.
01:04I am saying a linguistic comparison.
01:06My problem is much bigger than the problem of plastic.
01:08Honestly, plastic is very harmful to the environment and destroys the planet.
01:12It is impossible that your problem is bigger than the problem of plastic.
01:15I don't understand.
01:16You are a psychologist and you are cold.
01:18I am not cold.
01:20I am flexible.
01:21Yes, really.
01:22You are flexible.
01:24You work in cold weather and you shape anything.
01:27You do like...
01:31I can't describe you.
01:35I am telling you.
01:36Your problem is bigger than your problem.
01:39I don't want to hear more.
01:41Believe me.
01:42I don't like you.
01:43My mental health is like iron.
01:45Nothing happens to me.
01:54Welcome to a new episode of the program, The Victory.
02:01Let me take you by the hand and we go back to 1997.
02:04During Captain Charles Moore's return from Honolulu to California,
02:07after participating in the fishing of the boats there,
02:09he noticed that Captain Charles was trying to take a shortcut to his second way.
02:13He took the shortcut by passing through a part of a deserted area in the Pacific Ocean.
02:17This road was abandoned by fishermen because there was not enough food for the fish.
02:20Therefore, while they were on this long journey, there would be no fish to catch.
02:23And the sea also does not favor this road because there is little wind.
02:26Therefore, the boats do not move in the appropriate way.
02:29Charles Moore expected to pass through a deserted area.
02:32There was nothing, no humans, nothing at all.
02:35A clean area, pure, there was no crowd.
02:37Until he arrived and found a completely different surprise than he had expected.
02:40During his voyage in the area, all he could see around him was only one thing.
02:43Plastic.
02:44These are the views, I'm not talking about 4 meters or a small area.
02:46Charles Moore says that he kept sailing all week in the sea.
02:49Every time he looks at the water, he sees only plastic everywhere.
02:52As if he is going to explode with plastic.
02:54Moore will tell what he saw to a man named Curtis Ibsmeyer.
02:56He is one of the most famous oceanographers.
02:58And his main specialty was the turquoise walls on the surface of the water.
03:01MashaAllah Abu Ahmed, specialized in the waste of land.
03:04He is actually something like that, dear.
03:06Curtis will be the first person to name this area by its well-known name until now.
03:10The Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
03:12A very large waste area in the Pacific Ocean.
03:14Curtis was very smart when he said that it was very large.
03:17He named this area twice the size of Texas.
03:20This made it the largest plastic collection in the oceans.
03:23But it is not the only one.
03:24We have 4 other similar areas.
03:26One in the Indian Ocean.
03:28Two in the Atlantic Ocean.
03:29And one in the Indian Ocean.
03:30If you think that the problem is in some of the plastic bottles floating on the surface of the water.
03:34Let me tell you that what is on the surface of the water does not come next to the plastic that accumulates in the bottom.
03:38Which is everywhere in the world.
03:40From the time of his invention until this moment.
03:42Do you think, dear, that we have succeeded in covering the water surfaces with plastic?
03:46There is no bottom of a water surface without plastic.
03:48Apparently, listen to me.
03:50We are in the depths.
03:51As for the word permanent, which is the second name for plastic.
03:54Sorry, Abu Ahmed, I have a small inquiry in what you are saying.
03:57You, Abu Ahmed, say that the accumulated plastic from the first invention until today.
04:01I'm sorry, but isn't this plastic that accumulates?
04:03Isn't everything in this world temporary and it comes and goes?
04:05Dear, I wish it was like that.
04:07No one was happy with the carton.
04:09Let me surprise you and tell you that plastic is a substance that has a special curse.
04:12It makes it accumulate for decades and sometimes for centuries.
04:15Without dissolving, even if it was in the ocean.
04:17And this is for a very simple scientific reason.
04:19The chemical friction between the carbon atoms that are in the plastic particles.
04:22It is very difficult to break it.
04:24Especially in normal natural processes.
04:26Let me also tell you that many types of plastic are not made of substances that are naturally present in the environment.
04:31So it is not easy to find microbes or natural enzymes that can dissolve it efficiently.
04:35And in shallow water, like the oceans, for example.
04:37The dissolution process itself is much slower.
04:39Be careful.
04:40Under deep water, they are not with us.
04:42Neither light nor oxygen.
04:44Which of course is necessary in the process of dissolution.
04:46This is why plastic may need between 20 and 500 years to fully dissolve.
04:51Dear Abu Ahmed, I just found out that those who can't eat sour food don't eat garlic.
04:54And that those who warn the jinn and don't tolerate harm, don't warn him.
04:57So when it is a substance that is as sticky as sulfur,
04:59Why would a person commit suicide in its invention from the beginning?
05:02Dear, when I took you from your hand in 1997, I was deceiving you.
05:05Dear Abu Ahmed, I loved 1997.
05:07This is not a group, it's normal.
05:09Listen, because the story of plastic started very early.
05:11I started the story for you only when you throw it in the water.
05:13But plastic has other faces that we don't know anything about.
05:17Our story will start with plastic as a good hero.
05:20He is neither evil nor a curse, nor is he required by the world to get rid of him.
05:23Plastic was a magical substance that solved problems that they could imagine.
05:26And the first of them was environmental problems.
05:28Yes, this is what solves environmental problems, dear.
05:31And then, don't they say I'm a president?
05:33President, I'll get you a bike, don't take it from the devil.
05:35If I asked you about the characteristics of a substance that you can make anything with,
05:38you would usually need a magical substance.
05:40For example, you will need it to be durable, to live with you for a long time.
05:43A durable substance, but not very hard.
05:45And flexible, but not very soft.
05:47You can shape it as you want.
05:48In the past, dear, the substances that were closer to this were called natural polymers.
05:52Polymers are simply huge molecules, each of which is made up of repeated units called monomers.
05:57So polymers make them monomers.
05:59Dear Abu Ahmed, you brought me back to the age of organic chemistry.
06:02He told you he extracted 96% of sodium chloride from me.
06:05It doesn't even exist in nature.
06:07Dear, please calm down.
06:08Let's get back to the polymers.
06:09Focus with me and we'll get to the point.
06:11Polymers are naturally present everywhere.
06:13The DNA in our bodies, for example, is all natural polymers.
06:16The egg, for example, is a natural polymer.
06:18Proteins and sugars are natural polymers.
06:20And man, as I told you, from the beginning of history,
06:22when he looked for a substance that was easy to shape,
06:24and was flexible and hard at the same time,
06:26he relied on natural polymers to make tools.
06:28For example, the bones of animals, the eye, the shell, the wood, and the rubber.
06:31God bless you, Abu Ahmed, for having natural polymers to play with.
06:34The problem, dear, is that a lot of natural polymers are seasonal or rarely found.
06:38Also, polymers sometimes need treatment for a long period of time
06:41so that they can benefit from it.
06:42Don't you realize, dear, that humans are easy to attack?
06:44Also, polymers in many cases can be broken, damaged, and eaten.
06:49Despite all these flaws, human consumption of natural polymers
06:52was running the world like a knife in the desert.
06:54So far, my dear host.
06:57Abu Ahmed, the Industrial Revolution.
06:59At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century,
07:02the era of mass production began.
07:04This meant more and more demand for the polymers used in industry.
07:08At that time, dear, we still had a middle class and a new generation.
07:11They were trying to imitate the upper class and become richer than the lower class
07:15in order to make sure of their place for those above and those below them.
07:17This is where the habits and the reduction of production appeared.
07:20They needed a lot of polymers.
07:22Polymers like copper, iron, and others.
07:24Most of these polymers came from the colonies.
07:26This is because the colonies at the time were in the prime of their prosperity.
07:29Dear, we were in the prime of their prosperity.
07:30Any empire that wanted anything from the world
07:32would see any poor country take over a colony for 4 days and 3 nights.
07:35It would return with all the resources it needed.
07:36In its book, Plastic on the Table,
07:38Servi and Greco say that the first revolutions for the original colonists
07:41were mostly against the theft of the colonies of raw materials
07:44like polymers and forest wood.
07:46This is not killing the elephant for the sheep.
07:48The sheep were used by the first humans of the world
07:50to make a lot of disposable goods
07:53like women's clothing, pianos,
07:55and my dear uncle, me, you, and our friends, the billiards.
07:58The billiards were made from the sheep at the time.
08:01But as usual, humans were surprised.
08:03The resources like the sheep are limited and run out.
08:05As a result, over time, a material like the sheep became obsolete.
08:08This is when humans started to think.
08:09Can these disposable polymers be made artificially?
08:12This question, contrary to expectations, will not start in the factory.
08:14Instead, it will start from the billiards hall,
08:17and from the most needed layer, the polymers.
08:19The middle layers.
08:20The activity of the middle layers is what started all these problems.
08:24One of the billiards players organized a competition in 1863
08:28with a prize worth $10,000.
08:30Pay attention, my dear, this is about 170 years ago,
08:32so you know the account of inflation and so on.
08:34This money will be taken by the person who can invent a new ball
08:36to solve the problem of the billiards.
08:38He will win in a competition called John Weasley,
08:40who will invent in 1878 a material that affects the color.
08:43This material not only solved the problem of the billiards,
08:45but also directed the company's view to a genius idea.
08:47Guys, there is a material that can solve the place of rare polymers,
08:51natural polymers, like wax, for example,
08:53and at the same time cheap and resistant to corrosion.
08:56Ah!
08:57Especially if you compare them to materials such as wood and glass,
09:00which also have limited and limited availability.
09:02The investors found it ridiculous.
09:04They used it in many areas, from dental medicine to the film industry.
09:08In his book, American Plastic's Cultural History,
09:11Jeffrey Nickell describes this transformation
09:13as providing the commodity in a democratic way to the middle layer.
09:16But the road to artificial polymers will not stop at this attempt.
09:20Because at the time the middle layer found a solution to consume it,
09:23the upper layer looked at the celluloid as a fake commodity.
09:26His goal is to replicate nature and its materials
09:29without any real beauty and originality.
09:31I want to play billiards, I don't advise.
09:33Here will begin attempts to improve artificial polymers
09:36that depend on a mixture of natural materials and manufactured materials.
09:40For example, the attempts of a man named Charles Godier.
09:42This man tried to mix natural rubber with cabriolet,
09:45but he did not have the first complete artificial polymers.
09:48The first 100% artificial polymers appeared in 1907,
09:51with the establishment of the Middle Layer.
09:53It also appeared as a solution to the problem.
09:55We have a natural material that we need,
09:57but it exists on the planet.
09:59We discovered that it is limited and limited.
10:01The only material that was used in the isolation of electricity
10:03in the manufacture of wires and electrical components
10:05was called the Angel's Claw.
10:07It came specifically from the excretions of the Kerala insects.
10:09I am Abu Ahmed, and anyone excretes something like this,
10:11we take its excretions.
10:14As a result of the increase in demand for this insulating material,
10:16its price rose exponentially.
10:18This forced the Belgian Leo Beekland
10:20to make an electrical insulator
10:22using the mixture of formaldehyde and phenol,
10:24which comes from petroleum.
10:26After many attempts, the invention of the Beeklight material finally arrived.
10:29This, my dear, is the first type of plastic made entirely artificially.
10:32Finally, my dear, we have artificial polymers.
10:35Polymers are able to live a longer period than normal,
10:37are easier to develop and form,
10:39and are less susceptible to damage.
10:41This is not to say that they are available.
10:43Of course, these artificial polymers
10:45are starting to spread everywhere.
10:47What about machines, buttons, pens, and media?
10:49These are not home appliances like radios.
10:51And with the spread of cars,
10:53and the increase in demand for recycling petroleum,
10:55man suddenly discovered this.
10:57But this, this, this, this, this,
10:59is clear that the annual result of the recycling of petroleum
11:01is that the material used in the manufacture of plastic
11:03is useful.
11:05The material that was almost never used
11:07except in power plants.
11:09The material that was almost never used
11:11in the production of petroleum.
11:13To create flashnets and latinets,
11:15a new industrial sector,
11:17which is petrochemicals.
11:19If you look, my dear, you will discover
11:21that all petrochemicals tycoons
11:23like Exxon Mobil and Total
11:25were born during this period.
11:27When we were able to take from petroleum
11:29ethylene gas,
11:31which is made from polyethylene,
11:33which is used in packaging and packaging,
11:35and we took propylene and made
11:37a material that can be used to preserve food.
11:39Let me tell you, my dear, that the person who invented this material
11:41won the Nobel Prize, the Italian Giorno Natta.
11:43Besides this continuous issue,
11:45and with the Second World War,
11:47another leap started in the use of plastic
11:49to solve as an alternative to one of the oldest
11:51and most important goods in the ancient world,
11:53silk.
11:55And as usual, the subject started from the simplest detail,
11:57like me, Abu Ahmed, like my dear, the silk soaps.
11:59The subject started with silk soaps.
12:01In 1940, the American ladies
12:03were using silk soaps.
12:05These soaps were imported from Japan,
12:07but because of the Second World War,
12:09Japan participated in it, and the Americans were against the Japanese,
12:11just so you know.
12:13Anyway, my dear, it was a shame
12:15that we had wars, nuclear bombs,
12:17and armed conflicts, and we were still
12:19exchanging silk soaps.
12:21Much more important things than that stopped.
12:23At that time, the DePont Petrochemicals company
12:25used a material in the manufacture of military armaments
12:27that it was expected to be an alternative
12:29to natural silk.
12:31This material, my dear, is nylon.
12:33In 1940, the first part of nylon soaps
12:35was sold in America.
12:37Within four days, the subject became a trend,
12:39and 4 million soaps were sold.
12:41In his book, Silvio Greco,
12:43he considers plastic to be the most
12:45stupid thing that has ever happened in our lives,
12:47especially after World War II.
12:49When it started to spread by training,
12:51plastic took over and began to solve
12:53all the other materials.
12:55Anyway, my dear, hold on.
12:57Guys, I'm doing a call to Beardo.
12:59This is the last one, I don't have it.
13:01I don't have it, my dear.
13:03Until the production of plastic in 1970,
13:05until what?
13:07Until the production of silk.
13:09What? Silk? Plastic, Abu Ahmed?
13:11I swear to God.
13:13Plastic, my dear, started and no one could stop it.
13:15Until a moment ago, we, in front of the companies,
13:17found a magical material, a material that
13:19could be made with anything.
13:21Until now, my dear, the subject is going well.
13:23We had a problem, and the companies, thank God,
13:25found a magical solution to these problems.
13:27We now have an amazing material that can be made with anything
13:29without destroying the environment or cutting down forests.
13:31We don't need to buy silk to make it.
13:33We don't need to buy a snooker to make silk.
13:35If you do, my dear, a cut at the present time,
13:37you will find plastic not only in bags and glasses.
13:39No, it is everywhere.
13:41In desks, computers,
13:43and most of the home appliances.
13:45You will also find it in your body.
13:47In the industrial compartments, in the industrial pipes,
13:49and in the underground pipes.
13:51All of this, my dear, is permanent or plastic.
13:53But, my dear, in the same period of plastic's emergence,
13:55which is estimated, according to some sources,
13:57there were voices saying,
13:59Guys, there is a problem.
14:01Oh my God, what is it, Abu Ahmed?
14:03The first incident that happened was in 1931.
14:05When a shark moved
14:07because of a car accident.
14:09A shark, thank God,
14:11hit a car accident,
14:13and it couldn't move.
14:15When we entered the 60s,
14:17we started to see dead whales and sea birds
14:19because of the plastic waste.
14:21At first, everyone said,
14:23Guys, these are stupid things.
14:25We are going to throw our garbage into the sea.
14:27Not because we are waste animals.
14:29We are going to change our policy
14:31and remove our pollution.
14:33So, it was an easy decision
14:35to use these oceans as a graveyard
14:37to put our waste in.
14:39But, with the increase of population,
14:41the increase of consumption,
14:43and the slow resolution of plastic waste,
14:45the problem appeared.
14:47And we discovered,
14:49that even the oceans have limits.
14:51You won't be able to collect everything.
14:53If we go to Bukha,
14:55we will find a disaster.
14:57The marine life is exhausted.
14:59But, in the rest of the vast ocean,
15:01many creatures face the plastic as a deadly trap.
15:03They fill their bags,
15:05eat plastic bottles,
15:07and waste.
15:09Their bodies contain either toxic or non-toxic materials.
15:11So, they fill their empty stomachs
15:13and get malnutrition.
15:15This is not the plastic net,
15:17or the net net,
15:19as the scientists call it.
15:21They can't see the sky.
15:23So, it's easy to remove marine life.
15:25Even if these creatures
15:27avoid plastic in all its forms,
15:29their presence in the oceans
15:31prevents the sun from reaching the oceans.
15:33These creatures will destroy
15:35the life cycle of other creatures.
15:37Plastic is not just a marine disaster
15:39that destroys a place.
15:41It can also cause floods,
15:43such as the tsunami in 2011.
15:45Plastic can move to another place,
15:47either because of normal marine aircraft,
15:49or natural disasters.
15:51Plastic can also cause
15:53many earthquakes,
15:55as well as small creatures,
15:57such as rodents and rats.
15:59Plastic can move to a new,
16:01environmentally-friendly place.
16:03Imagine a place
16:05with no natural enemies.
16:07It would be a disaster.
16:09Or, an earthquake comes from another place
16:11that we don't usually encounter.
16:13So, we don't have back-ups.
16:15Maybe what I'm telling you
16:17is that you, as a human,
16:19and the companies,
16:21don't feel the presence of plastic.
16:23Let me tell you, my dear,
16:25that if you analyze your body now,
16:27you'll find plastic.
16:29What? I'm inside plastic?
16:31People around me are fantastic!
16:33Be careful! The environment is collapsing!
16:35But, if you analyze your body now,
16:37I'm sure you'll find plastic.
16:39In a study conducted in Nimsah in 2018,
16:41a group of 8 volunteers
16:43from more than one country
16:45named Microplastic.
16:47Let me tell you the weight, not the sample.
16:49According to European researchers,
16:51each year, a person swallows
16:53about 11,000 microplastic particles.
16:55But, if you're American,
16:57and you regularly drink from plastic bottles,
16:59your body will consume
17:01130,000 microplastic particles annually,
17:03compared to only 4,000 particles
17:05if you drink tap water.
17:07You know, my dear,
17:09the most dangerous thing is
17:11the smaller particles of microplastic.
17:13Microplastic is dangerous
17:15because, like its smaller size,
17:17it can penetrate cell membranes
17:19and cause dangerous reactions to the body.
17:21So, my dear, you don't need to walk
17:23in a quiet neighborhood to find a plastic-filled pond.
17:25Plastic will come to you ready.
17:27What is your fish?
17:29The fish ate plastic, and we caught it with a plastic net.
17:31If you ask for it at home,
17:33the fish and the spoon might be plastic.
17:35Let me tell you, 55% of marine organisms
17:37that have commercial importance,
17:39such as sharks, eels, macaws, and sardines,
17:41even though there are links
17:43between plastic and cancer
17:45and cancers,
17:47the effect of microplastic and nanoplastic
17:49on our bodies
17:51has not been studied sufficiently yet.
17:53A study that allows us to understand its effect in more detail.
17:55That's enough, Abu Ahmed. If it's about fish,
17:57quit it. Of course, sir, if you quit fish,
17:59you won't be able to quit salt.
18:01A large part of the salt we consume
18:03comes from where? From the sea,
18:05which is also polluted by plastic.
18:07What are you talking about, Abu Ahmed?
18:09Did I just tell you that it's in the closet?
18:11So you're really going to enter the bathroom to find it?
18:13My dear, we are surrounded by plastic.
18:15I'm sorry, Ahmed, but there's something I don't understand.
18:17We are now in front of companies that have
18:19developed a magical invention,
18:21so they use it as a drill,
18:23but it has a more dangerous effect,
18:25which is that it takes years and years
18:27to be analyzed.
18:29So why do we make new plastic
18:31instead of recycling it and using it?
18:33We take the empty base and salt it again.
18:35A very nice idea, my dear.
18:37So the total size of plastic
18:39until 2018 reached
18:418.3 billion tons.
18:43Do you know how many tons
18:45recycling took?
18:479% only. The recycling
18:49after the first use. 1% only.
18:51The recycling took place again.
18:5312% were burned.
18:55So, 6.3 billion tons,
18:57which is about 79% of it,
18:59were accumulated in the waste dumps.
19:01Or in nature.
19:03This is a very important piece of information.
19:05Sometimes, the cost of making new plastic
19:07is cheaper than recycling it.
19:09And also easier as a process.
19:11This makes it easier for most companies
19:13to get rid of it instead of recycling it.
19:15According to a study in 2021
19:17titled Single-Use Plastic,
19:19or the plastic that is used once,
19:21according to this study,
19:23the most harmful and spreadable plastic
19:25responsible for 90% of its production
19:27is, my dear, a number company.
19:29Most of these companies
19:31are petrochemical companies,
19:33like China.
19:35So, my dear, if thousands of people
19:37stop using plastic,
19:39these are just individual solutions
19:41that are respected.
19:43But they won't be effective enough
19:45because these companies will produce more.
19:47And this is not my opinion, my dear.
19:49As I told you, just write a piece of information
19:51and after increasing the cost of burning it,
19:53you become a skateboarder of information.
19:55Little by little, you become a reader of information.
19:57I am a reader.
19:59In his book, The Plastic on the Table,
20:01we produced half of the plastic
20:03that we produced from 1950 to 2020.
20:05So, my dear, in 12 years,
20:07we produced half of what we produced in 70 years.
20:09This is even higher than our population increase.
20:11And we also consumed it.
20:13If we continue with this equation,
20:15we expect that the amount of plastic
20:17collected in waste collection centers
20:19or in the environment in general
20:21will reach 12 billion tons by 2050.
20:23Then, the plastic's weight in the sea
20:25will be bigger than the weight of the fish itself.
20:27And imagine, reducing plastic production
20:29because plastic recycling is not a complicated process.
20:31And this is not true.
20:33Every type of plastic has its own recycling process.
20:35And the matter is expensive.
20:37In many cases, this recycling process
20:39produces products of lower quality
20:41or already contaminated with chemical substances
20:43that are harmful to health,
20:45even more harmful than plastic.
20:47But they are not tomatoes.
20:49My dear companies are telling you,
20:51the problem is in the end-user.
20:53I produce plastic, but the last consumer
20:55is the one who comes and throws it.
20:57Or the governments that don't know
20:59how to deal with waste.
21:01This is not a scientific argument
21:03that talks about the ability of plastic.
21:05Silvio Grieco will consider this a misleading answer
21:07and will propose a policy of extended responsibility
21:09for the producers.
21:11That is, the producer is responsible
21:13for the life cycle of all his products.
21:15And therefore, he is responsible
21:17for withdrawing the product from the market
21:19after consumption and recycling it.
21:21And maybe the producers pay taxes
21:23based on the amount of plastic
21:25and this tax is directed
21:27to the recycling process.
21:29In order to reach what Grieco calls
21:31the circular economy,
21:33where the percentage of waste in ideal conditions
21:35is closer to zero.
21:37The problem in this particular word
21:39is the expression of ideal conditions.
21:41These are solutions that need an ideal.
21:43And my dear companies do not move
21:45the ideals.
21:47They are shareholders.
21:49They want to know how much the price
21:51has gone up and down.
21:53I will tell you what to do
21:55so that you will like me.
21:57My dear friends,
21:59let me tell you that the global economy
22:01suffers from a loss of
22:03about 19 billion dollars per year
22:05as a cost to the existence of plastic waste
22:07in the environment.
22:09But the cost of throwing away plastic
22:11instead of recycling it
22:13has reached 13 billion dollars per year.
22:15This is a huge cost, even if the governments
22:17bear it.
22:19Taxes are borne by ordinary people
22:21in the circular economy of companies.
22:23The consumer, who decides
22:25not to deal with a company because of plastic,
22:27will suffer a loss that will
22:29destroy the company in the end.
22:31According to a 2018 report by The Guardian,
22:33it describes what is called
22:35the Worldwide Revolt Against Plastic.
22:37From New York to Britain to South Korea,
22:39there is a revolution against the use of plastic.
22:41In the same year, a group of environmental activists
22:43will occupy Nesla factories in the Philippines
22:45and demand that the company reduce
22:47its plastic footprint.
22:49As a result,
22:51100% of the company's waste
22:53will be recyclable
22:55by 2025.
22:57In 2019, there will be a movement called
22:59Break Free from Plastic.
23:01It will be considered the biggest
23:03plastic pollutant in the world
23:05for two years in a row.
23:07This made the company promise
23:09that by 2030,
23:1125% of its waste will be
23:13recyclable.
23:15It is important to understand that
23:17plastic is not necessary
23:19for the environment,
23:21but it threatens
23:23their future profits.
23:25So they started taking
23:27environmental-friendly measures.
23:29In the end, we will face
23:31two types of companies.
23:33The first type looks at the fast-growing economy
23:35so it is easier for it to produce new plastic
23:37instead of recycling it and reducing its production.
23:39The second type sees a little later.
23:41Either it knows that this situation will threaten
23:43its activity and make it stop working
23:45or the consumer's culture will change over time.
23:47These companies will have to respond
23:49to the pressure of people who will stop buying
23:51from them if they don't do this.
23:53Simply put, the production of plastic
23:55can affect the environment and consumers themselves
23:57and manufacturers.
23:59These are the main market elements.
24:01The environment that we will get from it
24:03and transfer resources and people
24:05or what is known to customers.
24:07Also, the change in consumer culture
24:09is not far from being a reason for more medical studies.
24:11The impact of plastic inside and around us
24:13will be a reason for these companies to protest
24:15about the lack of scientific knowledge
24:17or the lack of accuracy about plastic.
24:19It may seem that we are looking at a difficult moment
24:21but it is in line with the story of plastic
24:23that I told you about.
24:25The magical invention that companies created
24:27after resources decreased and the environment was in doubt.
24:29Here, we can confirm that we have reached
24:31a similar moment. Plastic is the same curse
24:33that threatens the environment
24:35after the magical solution to its problems.
24:37From here, companies can find alternative solutions
24:39to protect their profits
24:41based on the existence of a reliable consumer
24:43and its impact on their health.
