A Dubai-wide ban on single-use bags — including both plastic and paper — will come into
effect in less than three months. The emirate had mandated businesses to impose a 25-fil
charge on single-use plastic bags from the beginning of this year. From June 1, all single-use
bags will be banned across retail outlets in Dubai, with stores not obligated to offer free
alternatives.
