Not covered by the EWKFondsG
Does Paper bag without plastic coating fall under the EWKFondsG?
No
No. The EWKFondsG covers only single-use plastic products. A paper bag with no plastic coating at all contains no plastic and therefore doesn't fall under the law — for coated paper bags, however, classification depends on the specific coating and must be checked case by case.

This classification covers the typical use case but doesn't replace a legal case-by-case review — especially with mixed materials, coatings, or unusual pack sizes, the actual classification depends on the specific product. EWKPilot does not replace legal or tax advice.
