Shops will no longer offer single-use bags to shoppers in Dubai from Saturday as the

emirate's ban comes into effect.

The ban is part of a wider initiative to phase out single-use products completely and means stores

will no longer be allowed to offer customers carrier bags costing 25 fils at the checkout.

Along with plastic, the ban also includes bags made of paper and other biodegradable material.

According to guidelines from Dubai Municipality, bags of any material which are under 57
micrometres thick are prohibited from June 1.

Further bans are set to come into place from next year with styrofoam products and cotton swabs

banned from January 1.
