Why Hundreds of Abandoned Ships were Destroyed in the Pacific

In this eye-opening video, we delve into the fascinating world of shipbreaking, the process of dismantling old ships and recycling their materials. Starting with the question of where huge ships go to die, we explore the entire process, from how they are brought ashore to be scrapped to the value of the scrap metal they yield. But shipbreaking is not without its challenges, and we also examine the dangers it poses to workers and the environment, including the harm it can cause to local ecosystems. Finally, we look closer at the potential benefits of sustainable recycling and how this industry can help reduce waste and conserve resources.
