to raise awareness of

impact of single-use

products on oceans

Dubai-United Arab Emirates: Dubai Municipality has partnered with

Emaar Entertainment to launch a campaign encouraging

communities and businesses to recycle and reuse products in line

with a decision by the Executive Council of Dubai to regulate the use

of single-use items.

The campaign aims to build momentum ahead of Dubai’s historic ban

on all single-use bags coming into force on 1 June 2024. To raise

awareness of the adverse impact of plastic waste on marine life and

ocean health, divers at Dubai Aquarium in Dubai Mall displayed

banners to the public advocating for the initiative. The banners

highlighted the impact of plastic waste on ocean life, where single-

use plastics kills more than 100 thousands marine animals a year.
