The Dung Beetle is a steel sculpture covering a plastic gasification system in the form of a busy Beetle pushing the Earth. This photogenic moving art piece changes single-use plastics into energy.

Real Dung Beetles take waste and turn it into something useful, doing a job that our worldwide ecosystem relies on.
