\n\tThe man who<\/span> opened the doors<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> business<\/span> glass<\/span> recycler<\/span> is one of the<\/span> bosses at<\/span> Stirom<\/span> glass<\/span> manufacturer<\/span>, a company<\/span> bought by<\/span> the Greek group<\/span> Youla<\/span>.<\/span> "<\/span>It so happened<\/span> that<\/span> at<\/span> the end of a<\/span> discussion<\/span> we had<\/span> a<\/span> talk about the<\/span> bottles<\/span>, and I<\/span> knew<\/span> at that time<\/span> many<\/span> wine producers<\/span>.<\/span> I told him<\/span> how I<\/span> see<\/span> myself<\/span> in<\/span> Romania<\/span> and<\/span> the distribution of<\/span> bottles<\/span> and<\/span> I convinced him<\/span>, "says<\/span> head<\/span> TC<\/span> Rom<\/span> Glass.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\t"This<\/span> under-standing<\/span> verbal<\/span> founded a<\/span> dream<\/span>," recalls<\/span> Dumitrache<\/span>.<\/span> The dream of<\/span> talking<\/span> head<\/span> TC<\/span> Rom<\/span> Glass<\/span> is<\/span> represented by the<\/span> approximately<\/span> 300,000 tons of<\/span> glass<\/span> on<\/span> which people<\/span> and<\/span> companies in<\/span> Romania<\/span> throw them<\/span> annually.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tBy<\/span> population<\/span>, another<\/span> important<\/span> source<\/span> collection<\/span> is the<\/span> factories producing<\/span> canned<\/span> drinks<\/span> or<\/span> whose<\/span> chipped<\/span> and broken<\/span> glass<\/span> during<\/span> the manufacturing process<\/span> to<\/span> reach<\/span> 0.5<\/span>%<\/span> of the total production<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tMoreover,<\/span> after about a year<\/span> and a half<\/span> brewers<\/span> use<\/span> bottles<\/span> replace<\/span> damaged by<\/span> the high number<\/span> of cycles<\/span> bottling<\/span> and transportation<\/span> to and from<\/span> resellers<\/span> and<\/span> end customers<\/span>.<\/span> Just<\/span> as in the case<\/span> of<\/span> PET<\/span> recyclers<\/span>, much<\/span> of the production<\/span> is exported<\/span> TC<\/span> Glass<\/span> Rom<\/span> form<\/span> fragments<\/span> resulting from<\/span> the recycling process<\/span> are used<\/span> in<\/span> the factories<\/span> of Greek group<\/span> Youla<\/span> and<\/span> Container<\/span> Glass<\/span> Company in<\/span> Moldova.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe glass<\/span> company<\/span> brought<\/span> last year<\/span> the led<\/span> business<\/span> to Dumitrache<\/span> of 5<\/span> million –<\/span> "<\/span>profit margin<\/span> is very small<\/span> for a bottle<\/span> – 2-3<\/span>%<\/span>.<\/span> Shards<\/span> business<\/span> is a<\/span> healthy business<\/span> that<\/span>,<\/span> even if<\/span> significant growth<\/span> remains stable<\/span>.<\/span> After all,<\/span> our<\/span> most important<\/span> task<\/span> is<\/span> to collect<\/span> all the money in<\/span> the market. "<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tRomania<\/span> recycles<\/span> approximately 450,000<\/span> tonnes of<\/span> packaging waste<\/span>,<\/span> according<\/span> to the latest statistics<\/span>, and<\/span> quantities<\/span> must increase<\/span> by 20<\/span>% over the next<\/span> two years.<\/span> EU<\/span> expected<\/span> to<\/span> increase<\/span> obligations<\/span> recycling<\/span> packaging waste<\/span> since<\/span> 2016<\/span> by<\/span> amending the Directive<\/span> in<\/span> this area.<\/span> The new<\/span> recycling targets<\/span> for plastics<\/span> will increase from<\/span> 22.5<\/span>% to 45<\/span>% and<\/span> total<\/span> recycling<\/span> target<\/span> from 55<\/span>%<\/span> to 75<\/span>%<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tCalculations<\/span> for 2011<\/span>, the latest<\/span> national<\/span> statistics<\/span> show that<\/span> the market<\/span> of packaging waste<\/span> generated<\/span> in<\/span> Romania is<\/span> about 70<\/span> million,<\/span> taking into account<\/span> the average price per<\/span> ton of<\/span> waste<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tThrough<\/span> Eco<\/span>-Rom<\/span> packaging<\/span>, companies in<\/span> Romania<\/span> in<\/span> the last decade<\/span> have<\/span> recycled<\/span> approximately 2.6<\/span> million<\/span> tonnes of<\/span> packaging waste<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tThis<\/span> instance means<\/span> a saving<\/span> of 5.2 million<\/span> tonnes of<\/span> natural resources.<\/span> To meet<\/span> targets on<\/span> recycling<\/span>, manufacturers and<\/span> importers of<\/span> packaged goods<\/span> market<\/span> in<\/span> Romania<\/span> have paid<\/span> 280 million<\/span>.<\/span> 80<\/span>%<\/span> of this amount<\/span> annually<\/span> are directed<\/span> to<\/span> waste management<\/span> companies<\/span> and<\/span> separate<\/span> collection<\/span> system expansion<\/span>: providing<\/span> services<\/span> for collecting,<\/span> sorting<\/span> and transportation<\/span> of<\/span> waste to<\/span> recycling<\/span> plants<\/span>, investments<\/span> in<\/span> infrastructure<\/span> for<\/span> separate collection<\/span> and<\/span> population<\/span> information campaigns<\/span> and<\/span> educate the<\/span> population<\/span> on the importance of<\/span> separate<\/span> collection<\/span> of<\/span> packaging waste<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tBy<\/span> the separate collection<\/span> of<\/span> packaging waste<\/span> and<\/span> made<\/span> \u200b\u200bsubstantial investments<\/span> in developing<\/span> its<\/span> industry<\/span>, Eco<\/span>-Rom<\/span> package<\/span> supports<\/span> about 20% of<\/span> the labor market in<\/span> Romania<\/span> in<\/span> the field of<\/span> waste management<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tMore specifically<\/span>, the creation of<\/span> 6,600<\/span> jobs<\/span> in 2011<\/span>, while in<\/span> 2012<\/span> their number will<\/span> reach<\/span> 9,450<\/span>,<\/span> according to the latest<\/span> national<\/span> statistics<\/span>.<\/span> Number<\/span> of localities<\/span> receiving<\/span> service<\/span> separate collection<\/span> of packaging is<\/span> 464.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tThen<\/span> in 2020<\/span> local authorities<\/span> are required to<\/span> recycle<\/span> 50% of<\/span> municipal<\/span> waste<\/span> –<\/span> although<\/span> actual<\/span> percentage<\/span> that<\/span> ranks<\/span> Romania<\/span> is 1%<\/span>,<\/span> according to official statistics<\/span>,<\/span> and<\/span> 6-7 %<\/span>, as the<\/span> companies<\/span> in the industry.<\/span> Municipalities<\/span> are obliged<\/span> now<\/span> to divert<\/span> 15<\/span>% of<\/span> waste<\/span> from landfill to<\/span> landfill.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tSo far<\/span> have contributed to the<\/span> education of the population<\/span> only<\/span> private companies<\/span> required by law to<\/span> recycle<\/span> part of<\/span> packaging<\/span> put<\/span> on the market<\/span>, while the<\/span> Halls<\/span> have not made<\/span> too much<\/span> of this.<\/span> On<\/span> account<\/span> information campaigns<\/span> realization of<\/span> private<\/span> actors<\/span>,<\/span> nine out of ten<\/span> households in<\/span> Romania<\/span> know what<\/span> three of<\/span> ten<\/span> separate collection<\/span> and<\/span> even<\/span> separate<\/span> packaging waste<\/span>.<\/span> Currently<\/span>, the Romans<\/span> collected separately<\/span> 50 times<\/span> more than<\/span> eight years ago,<\/span> when they<\/span> first<\/span> learned<\/span> about the separation<\/span> and recycling<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tAmounts<\/span> collected from<\/span> citizens<\/span> increased from<\/span> 800 tons<\/span> in<\/span> 2006 to about<\/span> 40,000 tons<\/span> by the end of<\/span> 2013.<\/span> There is a<\/span> notable difference<\/span> between<\/span> Transylvania and the<\/span> rest of the country<\/span>,<\/span> residents<\/span> and local authorities<\/span>  was significantly higher<\/span> in<\/span> Carpathian<\/span> region<\/span>, according to<\/span> in the industry.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe main<\/span> role would<\/span> be to ensure<\/span> collection infrastructure<\/span>.<\/span> "<\/span>It makes no sense<\/span> to do<\/span> campaigns,<\/span> if the infrastructure<\/span> does not exist<\/span>," says<\/span> William<\/span> Vermeir<\/span>, president<\/span> express<\/span> transfer<\/span> of responsibility<\/span> organization<\/span> in Belgium.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHe<\/span> noted<\/span> the progress made by<\/span> Romania<\/span> in<\/span> recent years<\/span> on<\/span> increasing the amount of<\/span> municipal waste<\/span> recycled<\/span>:<\/span> "At this<\/span> moment<\/span> Romania<\/span> do not<\/span> keep up<\/span> with the countries of<\/span> Western Europe<\/span>, and<\/span> how<\/span> waste<\/span> legislation<\/span> is implemented<\/span> in<\/span> the 28<\/span> EU countries<\/span> show<\/span> major differences<\/span>.<\/span> But there are<\/span> signs that<\/span> Romania<\/span> goes<\/span> in the right direction<\/span>.
