Established in 2017 as an independent organization by a group of professionals and social and environmentally responsible companies, the main purpose of the Circular Economy Coalition (CERC) is to promote nationwide the key objectives of the EC Circular Economy Package, namely to stimulate the development of new markets and business models, thus contributing to economic growth and creation of new jobs. Initially, the Coalition gathered members from the entire waste management sector (producers, waste collection companies, sorting stations and recyclers), but also various experts on environmental issues. As a consolidated body, our commitment is to enlarge the members variety all across Romanian economy, towards a circular business approach. Additionally, the Circular Economy Coalition actively advocates for the implementation of efficient glass packaging collection and recycling systems to close the glass loop and further enhance sustainability efforts and reduce environmental impact.
