Large changes for the UAE environment are on the horizon! Starting from 2026, single-use plastic items such as cups, plates, lids and cutlery will be completely banned across the country. This bold step is part of the ongoing commitment to protect the stability of the United Arab Emirates and its natural resources.
A major environmental advocate Dr. Amna Al Cubasi, urges everyone to embrace this change:
“Come on, our planets are agents of change for our people and our future.”
The objective of the ban is to significantly reduce plastic waste, reduce pollution and encourage more environmentally friendly options. Business and consumers will equally play an important role in this infection towards sustainable life.
As the UAE makes way in environmental responsibility, this plastic-free future is not just a policy-this is a movement. Together, the nation is shaping a cleaner, greenery tomorrow.
