Following the issuance of a single-use plastics ban in January by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid
Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of Dubai’s Executive Council, Dubai Municipality (DM) has published
additional guidance for businesses.

The resolution was introduced with the aim of minimising plastic waste through changing consumer habits and fostering a
culture of recycling among businesses and the community.

While Dubai Municipality published an awareness guide for the initiative under its #DubaiMoreSustainable campaign,

launched at COP28, the guide has now been expanded with more information and an FAQ to help people and businesses
adhere to the new rules.

It is aimed at individuals, public sector entities, private businesses, corporations, and institutions and promotes everyday
sustainable practices at work and at home.
