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.
Earlier in December, Tadweer Group and the Park invited the community to take part in the world record attempt, encouraging them to harness their creativity while engaging with environmental issues. Guests were invited to place recycled plastic bottle caps onto a custom-made wall, creating an enduring mosaic modelled after universal recycling icons – and brought to life as one collective artistic masterpiece.
Launched in partnership with Tadweer Group, the initiative represented the final component of the “Cap Your Way to Sustainability” outreach campaign. The concept saw schools and community partners across Abu Dhabi collect plastic water bottle caps to encourage greater environmental awareness and responsibility.
Over two exclusive participation periods from 8-10 December, families, students and visitors helped to build the 25-square-metre recycled mosaic wall. The Park provided free entry during two time slots to encourage participation from the entire Abu Dhabi community, and as leading partner, Tadweer Group spearheaded the design, mosaic structure and many bottlecaps. A total of 24,846 bottlecaps were used in the mosaic’s creation, with 356 participants contributing over collective 18 hours during the initiative.
