The four -story art work, called whale on the dock (skyscraper), is made of plastic waste collected from the Hawaiian beaches.
It serves as a reminder of the 150 million tons of plastic waste in the oceans of the world, which exceeds the amount of whales.
The sculpture was designed by the artist-architect duo Jason Klimoski and Lesley Chang from Studiokca.
The concrete base of the whale is made of coffee with coffee from Cafes and restaurants by Canary Wharf.
The artists said: “A whale is the largest mammal in water, and felt the correct way to take to show the scope and scale of the problem.
“There is more plastic swimming in our oceans than whales.”
Lowri Harries, associate curator, public art of Canary Wharf Group (CWG), said: “We are very proud to present an installation as shocking and shocking as part of our permanent public art collection, it is specially significantly significant.
The sculpture is part of the largest public outdoor art collection in the United Kingdom in Canary Wharf.
It joins another 100 works of art, including the color captivated by color and the drape woman of Henry Moore.
