The Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi (EAD) on Monday announced a policy that will ban single-use plastics from 2021.
In a series of tweets by the Abu Dhabi Government Media Office, it was announced that the policy will encourage the use of reusable bags and introduce a fine for using plastics instead of sustainable alternatives.
The agency will also introduce a bottle return deposit scheme in retail outlets. "The policy will ensure transformation towards reusable items rather than shifting from plastic to non-plastic single-use items," a post retweeted by the EAD said.
