Plastic ban in Dubai: Detailed guidelines issued
Single-use plastic cutlery, plastic food containers and styrofoam cups will

also be banned

A ban on all single-use bags will come into effect from June 1 this year
Dubai Municipality has published additional guidance for businesses on the single-use

plastics ban that was issued in January following a resolution by Sheikh Hamdan bin
Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of
Dubai’s Executive Council.
The resolution was introduced to protect the environment by minimising plastic waste

through changing consumer habits. It is also meant to foster a culture of recycling
among businesses and the community.
Dubai Municipality published an awareness guide for the initiative under its

#DubaiMoreSustainable campaign, which was launched at COP28. The guide has
now been expanded.
