In this episode, viewers explore how Object Carpets makes
new floor coverings from old fishing nets; how Mubea makes
cars lighter with newly designed parts; how Commercial Metals
Company uses scrap metal to shore up American infrastructure;
how NexTier maximizes fuel sources using more efficient
oilfields; and how JBT Corporation reduces food waste with
new packaging and preservation technologies.
First, host John Holden travels
to Denkendorf, Germany, to see how
discarded nylon fishing nets called "ghost nets" that endanger
marine life are given new purpose. Object Carpets uses
Econyl yarn, regenerated from nylon waste, to produce beautiful,
durable rugs and carpets. The company recycles tons of material
that would otherwise become landfill waste – while avoiding the
need to use petroleum to produce virgin fibers.
Next, John visits Attendorn, Germany to find out how Mubea has
become integral to achieving CO2 neutrality in the automotive
industry. Making cars lighter with newly-designed parts and
components means less energy is needed to run them – resulting in
lowered emissions. Mubea has also introduced an innovative
e-Cargo bike, which should become popular with urban drivers – as
cities reduce access to fossil-fueled transportation.
John goes to Mesa, Arizona,
where Commercial Metals Company shows us how
yesterday's scrap becomes tomorrow's steel. CMC uses an
innovative micro mill process called "continuous EAF" or electric
arc furnace, to melt scrap metal – which requires much less energy
than standard steel-making. CMC takes green steel to
the next level – saving scrap metal headed for landfills, and
repurposing it into American infrastructure.
Next, John travels to Midland,
Texas to discover how NexTier helps oil and gas
companies produce cleaner energy, to reduce their impacts on global
warming. NexTier provides technology to boost higher oil
extractions from smaller well fields, using natural gas as a power
source. The company believes energy producers should compete to
provide reliable, low cost, greener power for the world's growing
population.
Finally, co-host Andrea Ocampo
visits Sandusky, Ohio to show us
how JBT Corporation works to reduce food waste – to help end
world hunger, and address global warming. Food wasted by growers,
retailers and consumers often rots in landfills, releasing
greenhouse gases. JBT is introducing new technologies
for water conservation, freezing, preservation, and packaging,
which greatly extend food's shelf life.
Throughout the series, six-time Emmy Award winner John Holden takes viewers around the globe to
showcase companies with inspiring, eco-friendly initiatives that
enhance our lives through the latest technologies and innovations.
With insightful interviews and on-site discoveries, Holden
highlights the ways businesses protect our environment, to create a
