Seven out of ten companies in Romania (67%) expect an increase in impact of circular economy regulations from moderate over the last 12 months to high and very high in the next five years, as shown by the Deloitte study “Circular Economy. Perception and the Stage of the Implementation in Romania 2024”, conducted this year among approximately one hundred companies on the local market.

In order to transform their business towards a circular model, over half of the surveyed companies (59%) say they have developed or are in the advanced stages of developing a strategy in the field, which includes various measures, from general actions, such as energy transition (80%) and emissions accounting (62%), to those specific to the circular economy, such as extending product lifecycle (53%), packaging and the origin of materials (49%), optimizing the use of resources (46%) or ecodesign (39%). On the other hand, communication, information and “education” of stakeholders – from employees and suppliers to the end consumer – are at the top of the transition strategies this year, according to the study.
