The Romanian Deposit-Return System (SGR) has significantly influenced circular economy practices, fostering collaboration among authorities, producers, retailers, and consumers. Adela Smeu, CEO of RetuRo SGR, emphasized the project's success in building trust and changing behaviors over the past three years. Mihaela Frăsineanu, a state advisor, highlighted SGR as a key achievement in waste management. Recent data shows over 4.1 billion packages returned this year, with collection rates reaching 97% in September. The initiative aims to strengthen partnerships and improve efficiency moving forward, reflecting on past successes and future goals.
