Dubai Airports (DXB) announced that it will actively ban single-use plastics from its consumer spaces from January 1, 2020. Dubai Airports joined hands with 106 businesses operating at DXB on World Environment Day last month to showcase the positive impact of eliminating plastics.
Dubai Airports is, among other things, going to stop the use of plastic straws completely and will replace it with a more environmentally friendly option. In order to launch this initiative, they partnered with Mariska Nell who is an award-winning sculpturist and together they have created an upcyled globe made out of 60,000 straws that will not be used anymore.
