Giant Metal Rubber Duck

Have we gone quackers? We don’t think so! We were inspired to create this incredible rubber duck sculpture to raise the alarm over rising plastic pollution.

Global plastic production and waste are projected to nearly triple by 2040, regardless of all advances in waste management. Current government policies are woefully inadequate, to make any noticeable impact on this crisis – governments across the world, have to make far greater strides towards outlawing plastic products, especially packaging.

Growing populations and incomes worldwide are driving a relentless increase in the amount of plastics being produced and quickly thereafter disregarded.

Here at the Ironworks, we are always trying to marry visual recycled art projects with addressing social and environmental issues.

The sculpture has been placed on public display in the sculpture park and from our research – it’s the largest rubber duck, made from recycled scrap auto parts in the world.
