A two-file toolkit that organises the duties of Real Decreto 293/2018, on reducing plastic bag consumption and creating the Producer Registry, into open questions answered from the business's own records.
Included from the Small level.
Every toolkit in the level is included; nothing is bought one by one.
The businesses it reaches
Real Decreto 293/2018, de 18 de mayo, sobre reducción del consumo de bolsas de plástico y por el que se crea el Registro de Productores, reaches businesses that place plastic bags on the Spanish market, including producers, importers and distributors, as well as retailers and online sellers that hand bags to consumers and organisations that generate plastic bag waste. The instrument governs the registration of producers and the consumer information that must accompany bags.
The toolkit is a set of two working files that organise this instrument's obligations into phases of open questions a business answers from its own records, with the statutory text carried verbatim beside each duty. The first working file covers the Producer Registry and the registration duties set out in Annex II, paragraph 1, of the provision to Article 4, paragraph 1, letter c). The second working file covers consumer information under Article 4, paragraph 1, letter d), and the duties that follow through Article 9, second paragraph.
Sections are served through a connector inside Claude, and the documents that come back are dated compliance reports the business keeps in its own file. The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective; it carries what the authority wrote, organised.

Questions and answers
Which businesses fall within the scope of Real Decreto 293/2018?
The instrument reaches producers, importers and distributors of plastic bags, retailers and online sellers that supply bags to consumers, and organisations that generate plastic bag waste. A business that places bags on the Spanish market or hands them to customers should check whether the duties apply to it.
What does the Producer Registry file cover?
The first working file addresses the registration of producers under Annex II, paragraph 1, of the provision to Article 4, paragraph 1, letter c). It sets out open questions on the data a business must supply and the records it holds. The statutory text sits beside each duty.
What does the consumer information file cover?
The second working file addresses the information that must accompany plastic bags under Article 4, paragraph 1, letter d), and the duties that follow through Article 9, second paragraph. It asks the business what it prints, displays or communicates to consumers. The relevant provisions are carried beside each question.
How are the two working files organised?
Each file groups the instrument's obligations into phases of open questions a business answers from its own records. The statutory text is carried verbatim beside each duty. The files are organised by subject, not by the instrument's own order.
How does a business access the toolkit?
Sections are served through a connector inside Claude. The business works through the open questions in that environment. Nothing is downloaded and nothing is installed.
What documents does the business receive?
The documents that come back are dated compliance reports. The business keeps them in its own file. Each report records the answers given to the open questions at that date.
Does the toolkit tell a business what to do?
The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective; it carries what the authority wrote, organised. The business reads the statutory text beside each duty and answers the open questions from its own records. Decisions remain with the business.
Which records does a business need before starting?
The open questions draw on the business's own records, such as registration data, supplier information and the wording used for consumers. A business gathers those records first. The questions then guide the order in which they are reviewed.
Can the toolkit be used by a business that sells online?
Online sellers that supply plastic bags to consumers fall within the activities the instrument governs. The consumer information file addresses what must accompany bags at the point of sale. The business answers the open questions from its own records.
How are the statutory provisions cited in the files?
Citations follow the form printed in the headings, such as Article 4, paragraph 1, letter c), and Article 9, second paragraph. The statutory text is reproduced as the authority wrote it. The business can trace each question to its provision.
