Produces the largest 25sqm recycled bottle-cap mosaic
Abu Dhabi’s Umm Al Emarat Park and Tadweer Group have jointly set a new Guinness World Record for the largest recycled materials mosaic–a sustainability-focused artwork made from recycled plastic bottle caps.
This inspirational community accomplishment was recognised at a special award ceremony held at the park on 18 December and attended by officials from Tadweer Group, Umm Al Emarat Park and Genius World record general adjudicators.
Launched in partnership with Tadweer Group, the initiative represented the final component of the ‘Cap Your Way to Sustainability’ outreach campaign. Communitypt saw schools and community partners across Abu Dhabi collect plastic water bottle caps to encourage greater environmental awareness and responsibility.
Moasic’s creation
A total of 24,846 bottlecaps were used in the mosaic’s creation, with 356 participants contributing over collective 18 hours during the initiative.
“The key for us is to help the community gain a stronger understanding that we are all responsible for how we manage our waste, and this is only the beginning for what we have planned,” commented Abdulwahed Juma, Executive Director, Communications and Awareness, Tadweer Group.
“Sustainability is a cornerstone of our work at Umm Al Emarat Park and supporting Tadweer Group in its mission demonstrates the ways we can come together as a society and make a tangible difference for generations to come,” observed Rasha Kablawi, official spokesperson for the Umm Al Emarat Park.
