Dubai Can initiative cuts single-use plastic bottle usage by over 7 million as the sustainability movement marks first anniversary

Dubai Can, the citywide sustainability movement launched on 15 February 2022, has successfully reduced the use of an equivalent of more than 7 million 500 ml single-use plastic water bottles in its first year. The exceptional success of the initiative is reflected in the fact that Dubai Can has been widely adopted in the city, with participation from homes, offices, hotels, schools, and the installation of 50 water fountains in different locations.
