Phasing out single-use plastic in the UAE
The UAE is facing a significant environmental challenge with single-use plastics. According to the Ministry Of Environment and Water UAE, 11 billion plastic bags are used annually - an alarming amount that contributes to pollution in our environment, oceans, and harms human health.
But there's hope! The UAE is taking bold action towards sustainability, with the phase-out of single-use plastics already underway. As of January 2025, Dubai Municipality expanded its ban on single-use plastics to include items like straws, stirrers, plastic cups, cotton swabs, table covers, and styrofoam containers. This comprehensive ban is a crucial step in reducing plastic waste and driving the city toward a greener future.
