Ist das „Plastik“ auf Bäckertüten biologisch abbaubar oder ist es nur normales Plastik?

It’s cellophane, so you can throw it into paper waste.
~~afaik this is wood based cellulose Pergamin, so this thing belongs in the paper trash.~~
So I read about it, most of the time it’s still plastic. Pergamin is not so transparent and corn based „plastic“ is too expensive. You can test this by using a flame on it and see how it reacts
Oh! I’ve been meticulously detaching „this plastic“ all these days. Thanks for clearing this!
Regular plastic and therefore as a proper German you have to separate those materials for different trash bins
Usually it is [cellophane](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellophane), so yes, biodegradable.
This is also true for the „windows“ in envelopes btw.
OK so what I get from the comments here: Sometimes it’s plastic, sometimes it’s not.
How can you know? No clue.
I will just continue throwing it in the paper bin.
yes
This is what integration in Germany looks like. Worrying about recycling. Congratulations
