Xmas tree made of 129,000 plastic bottles sets world record in Lebanon
A 28.5 meter-tall (93.5 ft) Christmas tree made completely out of 129,000 plastic bottles sets a new Guinness World Record for the 'Largest Christmas Tree Made Of Plastic Bottles' in the Lebanese town of Chekka.
The creator of the project Caroline Chaptini came up with the idea to promote recycling by collecting bottles in May 2019. She explained, "I put a post on the Instagram asking not to throw bottles of this exact size [away] because we chose bottles of the same quality, size and color."
The tree was made in 20 days as part of the "Don't Throw It, Collect It" campaign with support from local residents, volunteers and even Lebanese Scout Association was first lit on Monday.
The previous Guinness World Record holder for the largest plastic bottle sculpture made of 98,000 plastic bottles was Mexico setting the record in 2018.
