This is by far the best recycling documentary I have ever watched. It really shows the potential of recycling once infrastructure is in place.

I'm proud of the effort Germany has spent in addressing the recycling & garbage needs. They've set a good example many other countries can follow!

I'm SO glad I found this channel, I haven't stopped watching in two whole days. I'm stuck in bed sick, to be clear, not unemployed. These documentaries are like discovery channel used to be decades ago : flat facts and process description without all the fake drama and reality TV nonsense you see now. I also deeply appreciate seeing the iconic German adherence to regulations; it makes my OCD purr like a kitten. Recycling is normally a lazily and sloppily executed redirection to dumping in asia, but Germany does recycling correctly. 70% reclamation is incredibly impressive! Thank you for posting this.

This massive discrepancy exists despite the fact that there is no gender bias in the law favoring females. Whether you like it or not, the welfare system forces you as a man to pay for single women, many of whom, as you know, are degenerates. Without welfare and all kinds of affirmative action promoting women in the workplace, women can't support themselves. The feminist welfare state just distributes the burden of taking care of women to all working men. So you, as a man, have the burden of financially supporting these women without any benefit in return, women who will berate you and call you an incel if you disagree with how stunning and brave they are. Basically, Western liberalism forces you as a man to fund the lifestyle of women drinking, sleeping around with a new man every night, popping anti depressants like candy, going to the womens march on weekends to whine about how oppressed they are. You're literally subsidizing all that. Women being free is not free. Someone has to foot the bill. Islam says, no. No one gets a free ride. You want to be taken care of, you have to be in a marriage as an obedient wife. And if you dont want to be an obedient wife, go be a burden on your father, who didn't raise you right. And if you don't want to live under your father's roof, go live in the wilderness or beg on the streets. See how long you last there..

Excellent video. As a Materials Scientist I worked in the aluminium recycling industry. All scrap aluminium can be recycled. Adding silicon and copper gives diecastable alloys We made about 50 tons a day of recycled aluminium, increasing the value of the metal 3 fold. All materials can be either recycled or converted to heat/electricity. Even human excrement is used as fertiliser in China. Only affluent countries have huge tips wasting all these valuable materials. We need people with business acumen and a desire to do the right thing.Australia here, has some correct people doing the work correctly.

Im wondering if any of U guys are doing plastic to fuel pyrolysis?

Remember: Repair and reuse is better for the environment than producing and shipping new devices! When it comes to basic devices like toasters, blenders, portable vacuum cleaners and other low tech things that never really go obsolete, repair is often easy. A toaster still works exactly like it did 50 years ago. So does a vacuum cleaner, and so does a microwave oven. They all still use the same kind of technology, and they all have reached their maximum level of efficiency decades ago. The first step should always be repair. That's why it is so important that we make sure that manufacturers don't make it impossible to repair things. A screwed together kitchen blender is trivial to repair, while a clipped or glued together model can barely be opened without damaging the plastic. Only when repair isn't realistically possible anymore (for instance, a cheap device with burnt out motor windings), the device should be scrapped and recycled. I wish the government would focus more on preventing devices from being scrapped and new ones from being produced. Even starting from recyled materials, producing a new device produces a lot of emissions.

I live in Germany and this is a very favorable look at what is happening. There are talks to abolish the yellow bags because less than 10% is actually recycled to something new. The rest is burried or burnt because for decades the Chinese took it out of our hands and since 2018 they don't want it anymore. We are drowning in plastic. I was glad to see that something can be done with the burnt stuff. The best is what France did - make companies cut done on the use of plastic in their packaging in the first place.

Incredable and fantastic. A very good video showing what humans can do when they put their minds to it. Well done Germany.

Back in the days when there was the first pilot project in Germany to collect plastics and metals in the yellow bags or bins it took place in my little village and the neighbouring town. Since then to sort out valuable materials is in my blood. I am not longer living in Germany... but this technology makes me still proud of the inventors and workers... and the people who are aware of the problem and taking care each day of their lives!!!😁👍

Best documentary ever

Like the German recycling centre, most of us have a nearby recycling centre is the uk. After we separate plastic, wood, metal, appliances etc. I really hope we are doing this in the uk. I also take soft plastic wrapping to the supermarket who very reluctantly empty the bins. I don't see many other people doing this. Even though a strong plastic bag is now 20 pence, a significant minority don't reuse their shopping bags. When I look at products that I buy, many claim to use a percentage of plastic. It's slow progress.

the only legit recycling methods i found so far 👌

So glad to see this 😊

Great job. These companies should make contracts with other countries to build such factories for waste revival.

Extraordinary marvelious

Smart Documentary. Hello from Brunei.

The really sad thing about so many of these electrical items is that they are perfectly good but just need repairing - often just simple repairs at that - yet modern society has such a wasteful throwaway attitude towards the things we own in not just the developed world, but in the developing world also. About 2½ decades ago I had a portable CD player stop working on me. The money to buy it had been a present from my grandmother & hadn't been a cheap item, despite having been bought duty free. I'd grown up being accustomed to being able to have things repaired rather than wastefully throw things away & so I took it in to have this done. Despite being quite prepared to pay what was necessary to have it fixed (wasn't an exorbitant amount) the repair place did their very best to talk me out of having it done on the basis of I could get a new one for similar price. I remained adamant that it be repaired and had many happy years more use out of it before it eventually fell off of its perch. The repair shop's attitude was 100% indicative of the very skewed attitude humanity has to our planet's precious resources and its ability to continue to support life on it. It has been many decades since repair shops were a completely normal part of our high streets.

Smart decision to integrate waste management into industry and materials engineering

if people pre-sorted the stuff into different bins or bags on the front side of the input stream it would make it mush less inefficient at the waste sorting stage // making the combustion cleaner burning too // enabling gold & copper & silver recovery rates to increase & to reduce other water & air pollution emissions! Basically if you educate the public & give them the tools & means to do a better job sorting their trash & recycling, that could improve the downstream processes at the waste incineration & e-waste recycling etc //
