Adela Smeu, CEO RetuRO: „Pentru România, Sistemul de Garanție-Returnare are o valoare economică certă”

Adela Smeu, CEO of RetuRO, emphasizes the economic value of Romania's Deposit-Return System (SGR), which has successfully collected over 12 billion beverage containers in under three years. This system has significantly contributed to waste reduction and recycling rates, aligning Romania with European circular economy goals. Smeu highlights the importance of a robust infrastructure for processing materials, which can enhance competitiveness and attract investments. The predictability of material flows is crucial for companies, enabling them to invest in processing capacities. RetuRO's experience in implementing SGR provides valuable insights for future regulatory frameworks and investment opportunities in the context of the European Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).
