Single-use plastics to be banned in Abu Dhabi
Authorities in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday announced that the use of single-use plastic bags will be banned from June 2022.
The decision is based on the Emirate’s integrated single-use plastic policy that was introduced in 2020 and is part of the UAE’s vision to enhance sustainable living in Abu Dhabi.
The Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) noted that it plans to gradually reduce the amount of single-use plastic products consumed across the Emirate, and encourage the use of reusable products.
