Dubai: The use of plastic cups to serve tea or other hot beverages
has been banned as part of Dubai Municipality's campaign to ensure public health safety, said a Dubai Municipality official.
The ban goes into effect after a month-long grace period from Tuesday.
The municipality has issued official notices to all cafeterias and restaurants, ordering them to stop using plastic cups made of rigid polystyrene to serve tea, coffee or other hot beverages. It is also in the process of testing other packaging material used for food items.
"The decision has been taken on the recommendations of the Food Safety Committee after lab tests showed such cups pose health risk. They don't withstand heat and can contaminate hot beverages,"
