Ready to make a real difference in Dubai’s fight against plastic waste? The ‘Dubai Can’ initiative is here to help you swap single-use plastics for sustainable solutions. With free water refill stations popping up across the city, residents can now easily embrace refillable water bottles and contribute to a greener future.
What Is the ‘Dubai Can’ Initiative?
In February 2022, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, launched the ‘Dubai Can’ initiative. This city-wide movement aims to reduce plastic consumption and promote eco-conscious decisions among UAE residents. Since its inception, ‘Dubai Can’ has successfully prevented using nearly 18 million 500ml single-use plastic water bottles.
Free Water Refill Stations Across Dubai
The standout feature of the ‘Dubai Can’ initiative is its extensive network of over 50 free water refill stations. Strategically placed in popular locations like beaches, parks, malls, and tourist attractions, these stations make it easy for everyone to stay hydrated without relying on disposable plastic bottles.
