In the first part of the meeting, an overview of the first phase of the project was presented, with good practices from all participating countries. During the second part, the action plan for supporting the development of circular bio-based economy in South Muntenia region was presented, together with the state of its implementation. Further, the action plans of the partner-regions were also presented, as inspiration for regional authorities.
The presentations were followed by discussions regarding the practicality of implementing such projects in Romania, and one of the main conclusions was that the most important driving factor would be to create business opportunities for (bio)waste operators, so that valorisation becomes more attractive than landfilling.
