Not covered by the EWKFondsG

Does Reusable deposit cup fall under the EWKFondsG?

No

No. The single-use plastics levy is, by definition, tied to single-use products. A deposit reusable cup intended for repeated use is not a single-use product and therefore doesn't fall under the EWKFondsG — regardless of the material it's made of.

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.
