Kerala municipality installs 12-foot Spider-Man sculpture made from plastic waste to promote recycling

Kattappana municipality in Kerala has installed a 12-foot sculpture resembling Spider-Man, constructed entirely from plastic bottles and other recyclable materials collected from bottle collection centres. The initiative aims to draw public attention to waste management and the importance of recycling in communities.

The sculpture, erected in front of the municipality office, serves as a visual reminder of how waste materials can be repurposed creatively. The project leverages a popular cultural figure to engage residents, particularly younger citizens, in conversations about environmental responsibility and sustainable practices.

The move reflects growing efforts by local bodies across India to use innovative and eye-catching methods for promoting civic awareness on waste management and environmental conservation.
