近日，为了从改变消费者行为以推动当地环境保护，阿布扎比将从6月1日开始禁止使用塑料袋，而迪拜将从 7 月 1 日起对一次性塑料袋征收25 菲尔（0.06 美元）的费用。
Abu Dhabi will ban the use of plastic bags from June 1, while Dubai will introduce a charge of 25 fils ($0.06) for single-use bags from July 1.
征收关税的一次性袋子范围在厚度为57微米（一微米为千分之一毫米）的塑料、纸、可生物降解塑料和植物性可生物降解材料制成的一次性袋子。
Dubai said the mandatory tariff will be applied to all single-use bags made of plastic, paper, biodegradable plastic and plant-based biodegradable materials that are 57 micrometres thick (a micrometre is one-thousandth of a millimetre).
当地购物超市和购物平台纷纷推出了相应的可重复使用的一次性塑料袋替代品。
Supermarkets in both emirates have been preparing for the changes and have urged shoppers to choose long-life alternatives.
