Today, consumers are paying more if they want to use reusable bags (sold at every supermarket cashier).
Moving forward, Dubai will introduce a 25-fil charge on single-use plastic bags starting July 1 this year.
The Executive Council of Dubai approves the policy limiting single-use plastic bags as a step towards enhancing environmental sustainability.
The policy covers restaurants, pharmacies, groceries, and even online store deliveries.
Here’s the announcement from TECofDubai Twitter:
