The Christmas tree was made in 20 days as part of the “Don’t Throw It, Collect It” campaign. It was supported 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.
