| Summary: | Waste is one of the main pollutants of all vital elements of the environment both globally and locally. Thus,
waste management is the foundation of long-term policies aimed at sustainable development, with a focus on reducing
the volume of waste produced, recycling, reusing and disposing of it in an efficient and least polluting way. Waste
management is a first step in the transition to a circular economy as this objective is included in the program
implemented by the European Union in 2017. Also, achieving the global recycling target of 50% of waste generated
aims to increase the level of recycling among population, the use of recycled materials and energy production. The
main objective of this paper is underlined by the idea of outlining the role of waste in the context of the circular
economy and to make the transition to a circular economy, given both the threats and the opportunities specific to this
path. In this sense, the study aims first of all to identify the way in which waste has a beneficial global contribution, and
secondly it aims to capitalize on the concept of circular economy and develop the main steps needed to substantiate that
concept
