Sustainable and eco-efficient development through C2C
November 5, 2010, Iasi, Romania
Why do we have to learn from costly mistakes...
… if we can use the examples of those who succeeded?
The ’70s
Vapi, India More than 50 chemical plants pollute with:
• chlorine • pesticides• lead• dyestuffs
The mercury concentration into the soil exceeds 20 times the maximum admitted limit!
China – Over 100 chemical plants permanently dischargeuntreated waste water into the Yangtze river and ocean
China – Heavy metals pollution
Radioactive pollution with:
• uranium• plutonium• cesium • strontium
The ’80sChernobyl, Ukraine
The 90’s - Malaysia, household waste pollution
Guangdong Province, China
Most polluted places on the Earth

Collection and re-introduction into the flow
::: Bioplastic production:::
Grinding Depolymerization
Purification stage
::: Bioplastic recycling:::
Purification stage
ADVANTAGES:• less chemicals used, lower costs;• low energy consumption, almost 100% PLA recovery;• endless continuous recycling process;• quality of recycled PLA = quality of original PLA

C2C implies creation of a network (public, private and non-governmental actors) intended for/capable to re-invent the management of sustainable materials, stimulating the innovation system to experiment and learn
How do we see C2C actions within North-East Region of Romania?
1. By collecting information – how others succedded?2. By learning from good practices3. By convincing others to take similar actions4. By organizing ourselves at regional level5. Describing in the action plan how these economically and
socially advantageous C2C actions could be implemented6. Promoting the inclusion of our proposals into the
national programming documents for 2014-2020 time span
