Ultra-light, compostable carrier bags are often used for fruit and vegetable bags. The German Compostable Products Association is now appealing to members of the German Bundestag to use such bags. Exempt bags from the special levy for single-use plastics<\/strong>. The bags offer \u201ehighly efficient multiple utilisation\u201c as defined by the amended Biowaste Ordinance.<\/p>

On the one hand, the bags serve as Carrying aid when buying fruit and vegetables<\/strong>. They can then be used for the hygienic collection and disposal of biowaste. Finally, a proven Qualitative and quantitative increase in collected organic waste and reduction of organic waste in residual waste<\/strong> as well as avoiding illegal littering with the bags.<\/p>

The letter continues: \u201ePlease help us to exempt these ultra-light, certified compostable carrier bags (shirt bags) from the upcoming special levy - due to the multiple use explained above, there is no basis for this. Instead, let us work together to return the valuable resource of organic waste to the natural cycle and take a significant step towards a sustainable, resource-conserving, climate-friendly and organic circular economy in Germany.\u201c<\/p>
