waste program Victor baccarat put a lot
on there the cocconi right in the very
beginning so kamikatsu was doing it open

really hurting the environment at the
same time the health of the people so
it's zero waste was created since the
program began in 2003 eighty percent of
the town's garbage gets recycled reused

it's been very tough in the way to gain
the understanding of the people of
course when they had to separate garbage
into 34 categories which is massive it's
really like just half
residents was wash clean sort and then
bring all of the materials to the city's
recycling center where monitors such as
as EVP kiyohara
make sure it's being done properly Oh

I know gentle bullets they clearly not
doing my suit
the town has what's known as a kurukuru
shop meaning circular where residents
can bring in and take used items for
free there's also a factory where local
women make products out of discarded
items we have lots of like old kimonos
or dolls clothes or these flags not used
anymore so we ask all these grannies who
really had the skills for the sewing
then they made it into a craft like
teddy bears or bags or what I'm wearing
right now as well it's made out of all
this fish plants that we celebrate and
they use it for the children's day
businesses all over kamikatsu
have incorporated ways to become zero
waste we are cutting by doing the
recycling the cost into one third
compared to when we actually burn
everything we are trying to focus more
in how can we change our lifestyles to
not to produce any waste even in this
small town with only 1,700 people
everyone look at each other and they
look after or take care of each other so
this kind of supporting system within
the community really helped for the
implementation to zero waste Satsuma is
just one town trying to lead the way to
a zero waste future but it's not the
only one making the push some countries
and even companies have focused their
efforts on establishing a manufacturing
system that doesn't create any trash at
all to learn more about how that works
check out this video most phones are
simply thrown away when instead a
circular economy would provide a market
where those phones are easily
disassembled working parts are swapped
out and instead of manufacturing brand
new units new phone models could
incorporate old phones in the
manufacturing process thanks for
