As the world marks Earth Day 2025, European shoppers focus more than ever on sustainability. This shift is changing what’s popular in the market and creating exciting new opportunities for global businesses.

At Aneto, we’re leading this change by helping companies adapt to Europe’s evolving rules and consumer preferences—all while staying true to eco-friendly goals. The best part? Brands can enter these markets without the usual risks, high costs, or complicated paperwork.

Here’s how Aneto turns current trends into real-world success for your business.

The EU’s Sustainability Surge

Europe’s shoppers are increasingly choosing products that are good for the planet. Recent studies show that eco-friendly items, renewable energy tech, and plant-based foods are the biggest trends of 2025. For example, 72% of European buyers now favor suppliers who work with local, environmentally focused teams, not old-school suppliers with high carbon footprints.

But selling in Europe isn’t just about demand—it’s also about making it possible for brands to enter the market. Many businesses avoid expanding here because starting up is expensive and complicated.

Setting up a legal company in Europe can take 6–12 months and cost over €50,000 in fees, legal steps, and paperwork. Even worse, 60% of companies guess wrong about demand and waste money on facilities or systems they never end up needing.

Aneto removes these roadblocks. Our clients, like organic coffee exporters from Latin America, use our existing EU setup to skip the hassle of creating a company there. Instead of spending money on offices or lawyers, they tap into our ready-made network of sales experts (who speak multiple languages), warehouses, and compliance specialists.

Aneto cuts the time to launch in Europe to less than 20 days.

Regulatory Complexity? Aneto Handles the Heavy Lifting

Europe’s push for sustainability means stricter rules for businesses, like laws holding companies accountable for recycling their products, requirements to report carbon emissions, and eco-friendly product design standards. Trying to follow these rules alone can delay your entry into the market for months.

Aneto’s ready-to-go solution helps brands meet EU regulations without hiring expensive lawyers or drowning in paperwork. Here’s how:

We handle getting approvals like CE marks, organic labels, and packaging that follows EU rules.
We tweak your pricing, ads, and even packaging to match local tastes, like following Germany’s ban on plastic packaging.
Clients cut initial costs by 60% using our “test first, then grow” method, and prove there’s demand in Europe with small investments before going all-in.

A Mexican organic skincare brand used Aneto’s EU setup to avoid €80,000 in legal fees. We handled their taxes, product approvals, and waste rules, and their products landed on shelves in 18 days, not 18 months.

Case Study: Zero-Risk Expansion in 20 Days

Take Kolos Coffee, a Colombian organic coffee producer. Instead of spending €60,000 to open a Spanish subsidiary, they partnered with Aneto to:

Bypass the entity setup and use our EU entity and tax ID to sell immediately.
Use the local insights: Aneto's teams identified premium pricing tolerance in Southern Europe, boosting margins by 22%.
Achieve sustainable scaling: Transitioned to compostable pods, aligning with the EU’s 2025 single-use plastics ban.

Result: €500,000 in Q1 sales—zero upfront legal costs.

The Future of EU Commerce: Agility Meets Responsibility

With regulations like the 2025 Carbon Border Tax looming, brands can’t afford delays or compliance missteps. Aneto bridges the gap by offering:

Test the market risk-free and validate demand in 2–3 EU countries before committing resources.
We manage everything compliance, from emissions reporting to ethical sourcing audits.
Distribute through 20+ EU countries via our existing logistics partners.
