Not covered by the EWKFondsG

Does Wooden or bamboo cutlery fall under the EWKFondsG?

No

No. Unlike in some other EU member states, single-use cutlery is not its own category in Annex 1 EWKFondsG. Uncoated wooden or bamboo cutlery also contains no plastic anyway, and wouldn't be affected even if such a category existed.

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.
