The German aluminium packaging industry, specifically manufacturers of tubes and aerosol cans, is navigating a complex landscape marked by regulatory challenges and shifting market dynamics.<\/p>\n

According to the Tubes, Cans, and Impact Extruded Parts Association (FV-TDF) of Aluminium Deutschland, domestic deliveries of aluminium tubes and aerosol cans experienced a decline in the first half (H1) of 2024 compared to the previous year.<\/p>\n

While exports have helped to offset this domestic slump, the industry is grappling with a range of uncertainties.<\/p>\n

One significant challenge stems from upcoming regulatory changes.<\/p>\n

The anticipated ban on bisphenol A (BPA) in food contact materials and stricter limits on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the draft EU Packaging Regulation could disrupt supply chains and increase production costs in the country.<\/p>\n

Industry players are working diligently to ensure compliance with these new standards while maintaining product quality and availability.<\/p>\n
