Abstract

The efficiency of material resources and waste management are very closely related issues. This indicates an opportunity to address both themes together, for example through the circular economy, the recovery of secondary materials or industrial symbiosis. The paper presents the research on the waste management system as one of the strategic objectives of Romania's sustainable development. Waste can be both a resource and an environmental problem. Depending on how companies, governments and economies address issues related to the circular economy and, more specifically, the transformation of waste into wealth at the level of companies and entrepreneurs, they will make a difference. This means that well-managed waste can be considered as a resource and lead to "green" and "growth", a growth that is not resource-based but performance-driven.
