On Friday 28 March, we unveiled Marley the Mammoth – the largest mural in London made entirely from recycled plastic bottle lids.
Residents joined us on Ilford Lane to celebrate the launch, meet the artist, and take part in the festivities. They had the chance to see and touch the mural up close, take photos with the artist beside her work, and hear directly from council representatives who spoke about the project before officially cutting a red ribbon to mark the launch.
A temporary lid collection point was set up for the event, where people could donate plastic bottle tops. These were handed over to the artist for her charity, Plastic Shed, and will be used in one of her upcoming projects.
Councillor Kam Rai, Leader of Redbridge Council, said:
“Marley the Mammoth is the second in a series of murals to appear on Ilford Lane. Last week, we unveiled a striking Kingfisher, painted on the side of a building further down the road.
We commissioned these wildlife-themed murals at the request of local children, who told us they wanted to bring more nature into the area and brighten up the street.
I'm especially pleased that Marley is made from recycled plastic – it’s a fantastic example of sustainability in action. I hope that, by transforming Ilford Lane with these vibrant artworks, residents will continue working with us to keep the area clean and welcoming.”
