Dubai is preparing to enforce the final phase of its single-use plastic ban, effective from January 1, 2026. This latest regulation will target a broader range of single-use plastic products to further reduce plastic waste and support environmental sustainability in the city, renowned for its rapid growth and innovation.
The initiative began in January 2024 with the first phase, which prohibited single-use plastic bags. Now, the authorities have released new guidelines to assist both businesses and residents in adjusting to this final stage of the ban. This effort is part of Dubai’s larger ambition to build a greener and cleaner urban environment.
Key Highlights of the Final Phase
- Extension of the ban to include additional single-use plastic items beyond bags
- Support and guidance provided to help stakeholders comply with the new rules
- Alignment with global initiatives to reduce pollution and tackle climate change
Dubai urges all residents and companies to strictly adhere to these new measures to ensure compliance with the law and help preserve precious natural resources. Through proactive policies like this, Dubai continues to lead the UAE and the Gulf region in environmental regulation and sustainability efforts.
