Food waste and the AGEC law: obligations for bakeries in 2026.

The AGEC law, adopted in 2020, aimed to reduce food waste in France by imposing obligations on businesses, including bakeries.
Some of these obligations include:

  1. ● Food donation:
    Bakeries are required to enter into agreements with charities for food donation.
    This aims to encourage the redistribution of unsold food products rather than throwing them away.
    Pain de Minuit Collecte is listed as a practical solution.

  2. ● Labelling and traceability:
    The AGEC law introduces stricter rules regarding food product labelling, particularly to indicate the use-by date and the best-before date more clearly.
    This aims to prevent waste of products that are still consumable.

  3. ● Awareness:
    The law also encourages raising awareness among the public and businesses about the challenges of food waste, with the goal of reducing waste at every stage of the food chain, including in bakeries.



What about waste from other products (pastries, cakes)?


We have already tried making a good beer with your croissants, chocolate bread or strawberry tarts and it was not a success.
For these other bakery products, we can direct you to several partners we work with in collaboration with the sole objective of helping you achieve zero waste in your bakery:
Food charity apps which serve as an anti-waste solution when your unsold products are still consumable: the Banque Populaire, les Restaurants du coeur for example.
The Too Good To Go app or the Phenix Anti Gaspi app to resell your unsold products at reduced prices.
The composting app Les Alchimistes to reduce the impact of your waste through composting.
