Starting from June 1, 2024, single-use plastic bags as well as paper bags will be completely banned from stores in
Dubai, the Dubai Municipality has announced.
Currently, customers are charged 25 fils for each plastic bag they use at checkout counters in shops and grocery
stores. However, this will be completely stopped starting June 1, according to Dubai Municipality.
The authority is urging shoppers to “make the switch to reusable cloth bags” instead of using plastic bags as part
of a wider Dubai initiative to phase-out single-use products by 2026.
