AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

EU Packaging Overhaul: New EU packaging rules kicked in across member states, tightening limits on PFAS in food-contact packaging, pushing deposit-return for most plastic bottles and cans by 2029 (Germany’s model), and requiring reusable coffee cups for larger cafés/restaurants from 2028—plus bans on small single-use sachets like sugar and ketchup by 2030 and stricter recyclability requirements. HoReCa & Consumer Impact: The reforms are already raising alarms among retailers and restaurants about higher costs and operational changes. Food Trade Watch: Italian pasta maker Felicetti appointed RH Amar as its exclusive UK distributor, expanding its international push (including Germany) with a focus on premium dry pasta and recyclable paper packaging. German Angle on Compliance: Germany is explicitly referenced as the benchmark for the EU’s deposit-return system, making the timeline a key planning point for German beverage and packaging players. Business & Safety Context: Separate from food policy, a German civil group filed criminal complaints over AI glasses—an example of rising legal scrutiny that could affect hospitality tech rollouts.
