Circular Economy. Resource viability, costs and challenges

Circular economy (use less, use longer, make clean, use again) provides answers for least two of the current challenges businesses and industries are facing: optimizing raw materials consumption and less exposure to price fluctuations on the resource market. In Romania, measures to transform business models in a circular sense remains, however, modest.

Deloitte Romania has recently launched the 2nd edition of the local study “Circular Economy. The perception and state of implementation in Romania 2024”, and organizes on February 26 an event to discuss, together with external guests, the most important conclusions of the report, and to share concrete ideas and good practices regarding the implementation of circular business models.

Topics

• Good practices for business models’ sustainable transformation: from an initial idea to functional processes and technologies
• The use of alternative raw materials – impact & benefits
• Recycling and reuse of water in industrial processes
