| Abstract |
In this work we proposed to answer some questions related with solid waste management and circular economy. The research questions were: What is the connection between circular economy and solid waste sector? How can the circular economy be implemented and which are the necessary policies for waste recycling? Which are the environmental issues related with the waste management in Europe? What are the main problems and opportunities in solid waste management in Romania? Can it be achieved a medium- and long-term prognosis of solid waste generation? In this paper we also suggested strategic solutions for integrated waste management and policies for its improvement. We have discussed the zero waste to landfill target together with the public perception and participation in waste management sector. We have applied the life cycle assessment for environmental evaluation of the proposed waste management scenarios and the trend analysis for waste prognosis. |
