In this interview, we hosted Caroline Chaptini, a Lebanese Guinness World Records holder, for an in-depth conversation on sustainability, innovation, and environmental responsibility.
The discussion focused on the record-breaking cedar tree made entirely from plastic waste, a powerful project that transformed discarded materials into a national symbol of resilience and environmental awareness. Caroline shared the story behind the idea, the process of achieving the Guinness World Record, and the challenges involved in turning plastic waste into a large-scale artistic and environmental statement.
Beyond the record itself, the interview explored how creative solutions can contribute to reducing plastic pollution, promoting recycling, and rethinking waste management in Lebanon. Caroline reflected on the role of individual initiative, community engagement, and awareness-driven projects in advancing sustainability and protecting the environment.
This conversation highlights how innovation and purpose can intersect to create meaningful environmental impact — proving that sustainability can be both symbolic and practical.
