Be part of the circular economy movement.The last issue of the 2021 Waste Management Magazine brings to the fore more than ever the importance of rethinking the way we produce, consume products and how we manage the waste generated. The simple fact that over 1 trillion tons of natural resources enter the global economic circuit and at most 8.6% of these resources are recycled or that the world produces over 2 billion tons of solid waste and 1 in 3 people globally do not have access to a waste management service is proof of unsustainable environmental management and the consequences of a linear economic model. What are the solutions, how do we transition to a circular economic model are just some of the topics addressed in the more than 15 articles developed and published in issue 32 of the Magazine.
Although mainly, in recent years, the activities and emphasis is focused on the problem of plastic waste management, it is more important than ever, not to lose sight of the considerable impact of organic waste on the phenomenon of global warming.

Local or municipal authorities must follow 8 STEPS which would help them establish the priorities and necessary measures to improve local environmental conditions and the problem of waste management respectively.
WEEE represents only 2% of the total flow of solid waste, they account for approx. 70% of the volume of hazardous waste that reaches the landfill, containing numerous substances that can be particularly harmful, both for the environment and for health.
Just like conventional plastic, bio-plastics are mostly made from fossil fuels and do not biodegrade in the environment. What we know for sure is that these materials do not present the right solution to pressing environmental problems.
Several studies have shown that the burning of one ton of plant residues produces approximately 53 kg of carbon monoxide (CO), 18.5 kg of harmful particles and the appearance of several highly toxic substances.
DRS programs are part of the solution to contribute to the transition to a circular economy and to reach the target that all packaging produced be reusable and recyclable by 2030.
In order to fulfill their REP obligation, Spanish producers, retailers and packaging manufacturers established "Ecoembalajes Espana, SA" in 1996, a non-profit and monopolistic take-over operator (OPR).
The year 2021 represented an important stage in the correct implementation of circular economy principles through evaluating the potential for circularity at the level of a geographical entity with common potential such as the territory "Valea Cuboltei" GAL.
Each year, more than 1 trillion tons of natural resources enter the economic cycle, and only 8.6% of these resources are recycled and reused. Precisely for this reason, it is necessary to move to a circular economic model, at least starting from 5 benefits.
