Abstract: Purpose and Objectives of the project : In order to increase the environmental protection with minimal investment and effort, we can look more closely at used plastic materials daily by each one of us, and to the possibilities we have to recycle them. Waste management is an essential component of the strategy of reducing the effects of global warming . One of the acute problems regarding the environmental protection that Romania faces is represented by the waste administration, due to an increase in consumption in the last 10 years, millions of tons of waste are generated every year. Complete or partially recycling would lead mainly to reduction of the waste quantity to be deposited. Another advantage would be that most of the recycled materials from the recycling special programs can be reused by the population and the companies. Even in the policies regarding the environmental protection and natural resources have gained a higher lately, and recently people have become more and more aware of these dangers requesting more dynamic actions for environmental protection, there are still very few economic bodies that perform such activities. Methodology used: EU Directives regarding the wrapping and wrapping east, Government Order 621/2005 modified by the Government Order 247/2011.
