The major cities in Romania are investing a total of over EUR 30 million in smart islands for separate waste collection. According to public data analyzed by Clean Recycle specialists, Brasov, Iasi, and Cluj-Napoca are among the cities with the largest investments in separate waste collection infrastructure.<\/p>\n
Some of the investments were started in 2023, others will be implemented by 2026, and most of the funding comes from the recovery and resilience plan – PNRR.<\/p>\n
At the top is Brasov, a major mountain city in central Romania, with a total value of around EUR 10 million. According to Clean Recycle, the City Hall started a project to purchase 275 digitized ecological islands.<\/p>\n
The City Hall of Iasi also signed financing contracts for 327 digitalized ecological islands, of which 302 above-ground and 25 underground. The total investment amounts to around EUR 8 million.<\/p>\n
Cluj-Napoca is also becoming greener, with 350 separate waste collection digitalized islands. The investment amounts to almost EUR 6.5 million.<\/p>\n
Another major city in Romania focusing on developing waste collection infrastructure is Timisoara, where the City Hall has purchased 100 digitalized ecological islands with a total value of around EUR 1 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In Constanta, 275 new eco-islands will be placed in the city, adding to the 14 eco-islands already installed in 2023. Meanwhile, in Oradea, 275 digitalized eco-islands have been installed.<\/p>\n
The City Hall of Galati also signed a new funding contract through PNRR to establish 61 digitized ecological islands with an investment of roughly EUR 1 million. This adds up to the 275 already funded with around EUR 4 million. In total, projects are underway for 336 modern waste collection points to cover all areas of the city, the Clean Recycle analysis noted.<\/p>\n
Moreover, since March, Sighisoara has been implementing a pilot project of digitized eco-islands for separate waste collection, financed with non-reimbursable European funds through the PNRR with a value of approximately EUR 500,000.<\/p>\n
Since November last year, the Ministry of Environment has carried out a national program to install over 2,000 digitized eco-islands for separate waste collection in 50 localities. These include Alba Iulia, Bac\u0103u, Suceava, Deva, and Predeal. According to the Clean Recycle analysis, the project, funded by PNRR, has a total value of over EUR 260 million.<\/p>\n
In the first 4 months of the year, Clean Recycle managed more than 35,000 tons of packaging waste for more than 900 customers in its portfolio.<\/p>\n
