EAD to ban single-use Styrofoam

 

EAD

The "Single-Use Plastic Policy" of EAD was introduced in 2020.  Styrofoam is a type of plastic called expanded polystyrene, and it has a range of uses. As part of the ban, Abu Dhabi is targeting avoidable, single-use consumer products. 

the banned products comprise cups, lids, plates and beverage containers (including caps and lids) made of expanded polystyrene. In addition, food container receptacles for products that are intended for immediate consumption, either on the spot or for takeaway, or containers that have a product that is typically consumed from the receptacle and is ready to be consumed without any further preparation such as cooking, boiling or heating, will also be prohibited.

"We are striving to make life easy for consumers while maintaining the balance of conserving the environment simultaneously; therefore, for the ban, we have only selected items that are avoidable single-use plastics and have clear and sustainable alternatives. We will also provide support to government and private sector entities to facilitate the shift towards reusable solutions."
