JAKARTA: The coastal community of Parepare in Sulawesi can count on the “friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man” when it comes to keeping the streets and beaches clean. The Spider-Man hopes the government would put more effort to clean up trash and tighten rules on waste management including on single-use plastic bags. - Reuters"Minimizing plastic waste is the most important thing to do, because plastic is difficult to decompose," he said. Indonesia, an archipelago of more than 17,000 islands, is estimated to be the world’s second-largest producer of plastic pollutants in the oceans after China, the study added. Hartono revealed he bought the Spider-Man outfit simply to amuse his nephew before others in town took notice.
