Shewale had started a drive 9 months before Ganesh Chaturthi where he collected waste plastic bottles from people. With the help of his team, he has installed this 20 feet Ganesh idol.
The Ganpati idol is going to be mentioned in 'Unique Records' and 'India Book of Records'. After the end of the festivities, the plastic will be recycled to be made as grease. With this idol, the makers aim to raise awareness about the waste management system and how we should follow the mantra of reduce-reuse-recycle.
